Kim Jong Il's body displayed; N Korea media hail son

Imagine studying with the third son in Switzerland, and then next thing you hear is his father is dead and the son is being hailed as being “born of heaven.”

???

I pay tribute to Kim Jong-Il, RIP and sympathies to NK.

He had a massive heart attack from filet mignon, lobster, cognac every night

The Korean Central News Agency on Tuesday described Kim Jong-Un as a “a great person born of heaven,” a propaganda term only his father Kim Jong-Il and his grandfather Kim Il-Sung had enjoyed.

I thought that the whole goal of communism was that we were all supposed to be equal, and that the workers controlled the means of production and everything was distributed on a fair share and the ruling class was eliminated. What gives then if the only way you can rule the country is to be "born" into it. So much for the workers and equaliity.

RIP to the Great Leader and to my 3 shrimps that passed away the same day.

Any form of Goverment is designed to make the rulers/ruling class richer than the rest and less touchable/protected from their own laws.

Remember:

"ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS"

I am just happy with these news!!

Sushi,

It is called a Monarchy, History is replete in it.

Yuck. Public body viewing. Yuck. Double yuck on this guy.

He was disgusting alive and now they want to display his disgusting corpse to the world.

Horrible.

"weeping mourners"

Out of the 7 billion people on the planet, the weeping mourners number no more than around 23 million, the population of N Korea, and many of those are weeping out of fear.

Looks as if he's being sent into the hereafter with his heightening platform boots on.

Four legs good, two legs bad.... OH wait...!!!

What will change with Monchichi's passing?

Nothing, it will be same old same old.

People will starve to death and the leadership will live well from Chinese money.

Those NKoreans aren't crying at all. They're are all paid to cry when they appear in the news. It was like that when his father Kim Il-sung died in 1994. Most NKoreans aren't mourning Kim Jong-Il death.

Fairly typical of atheist regimes. The ordinary human capacity (predisposition, depending on yer p o v) for religious feeling or mysticism gets sublimated, repressed, perverted - whatever - but it is still there. Socialists are no less ridiculous. The frantic hagiography by America's One Percent Media of the singularly unaccomplished Obama makes a good (and almost as embarrassing) example.

CrazyJoe, a smart North Korean will at least pretend to cry in public. For their good health and prosperity.

Like Berlin, bring down the wall!.... Serenity Now.

I remember how Moussilini's body was displayed after he died, wouldn't that be more appropriate?

Most NKoreans aren't mourning Kim Jong-Il death...

True, they are more worried about where their next meal will come from or if the secret police are going to show up.

I feel sad for the people he brutalized who now have to appear grieving over this monster's death. Talk about insult to injury.

Well I hope he's floating in vinegar. What a stench otherwise. Hopefully he doesn't shrink anymore or they'll start to believe that he was born under a bridge and not on a famous mountain at the end of a rainbow.

A good time to read Animal Farm again.

A good time to read Animal Farm again

The end of the book shows how the ordinary animals looked back and forth from the pigs to the pig-like humans and could no longer distinguish the difference.

Now that the pig-like Kim Jong Il has bit the big one, many of us ordinary animals find some extraordinary similarities with the big-lie-spouting right-wingers. The corporate-state is indeed a "person" and those in the 99% should never complain about their status or else be accused of instigating "class warfare." Some chilling similarities indeed.
