Even assh0les die.

Even majorly evil assh0les die.

"Everything comes to an end, Tony!"

Now he'll be reincarnated as a shite-eating fly's flea.

IF he's lucky.

I did not know this before today: the Kim dynasty created "Joy Brigades", and our recently dead moron midget/troll dictator enjoyed their services. Wikipedia:

Quote:
The Gippeumjo (translated variously as Pleasure Group, Pleasure Groups, Pleasure Squad, Pleasure Brigade, Joy Brigade, or Joy Division) is a collection of groups of approximately 2,000 women and girls between the ages of 13 and 40 (although most are believed to be between 18 and 25), which are maintained by the head of state of North Korea for the purpose of providing pleasure and entertainment for high-ranking Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) officials and their families, as well as occasionally also distinguished guests.
Apparently there were three squadrons within the Brigades, one for sexual services, one for massage, and one for dancing.

Kim possible!

Undertoad 12-19-2011 11:01 AM
Spexx yeah I was curious about that, but the group's Wikipedia page says "...the band renamed themselves Joy Division in early 1978, borrowing their new name from the prostitution wing of a Nazi concentration camp mentioned in the 1955 novel "The House of Dolls". So Joy Division preceded Kim's Joy Divisions.

Can somebody just take North Korea aside and beat it up in the bathroom or something? I'm not talking about getting really violent, just smack it upside the head and let it know that it's creepy and it can't pretend to be one of the cool kids until it gets its shit together.

Trilby 12-19-2011 02:07 PM
North Korea will NEVER be one of the cool kids.

Nevah, evah.

classicman 12-19-2011 04:01 PM
I wonder if and how much they were paid to cry for a man who murdered millions.
I didn't actually see any tears either. Lots of wiping and wailing, but no real tears.
Dunno, maybe its just me, but it looks staged.

ZenGum 12-19-2011 05:32 PM
I guess for some of them it is genuinely the loss of a charismatic leader in whom they had put their hopes*, but for others it is the death of a resented tyrant but they know they'd better make a big show for fear of punishment. I wonder how many there are of each.

*I'm not saying he was any good, mind you.

Not until it's all just one Korea again, and Han China can just go stand with its nose in the corner. Then they can stop starving and not have to eat cornstalk soup any more.

Talk radio has been laughing its little speaker off at the strange, stagey, wailing audio coming out of DPRK. Maybe a sound like Korean opera characters weeping?

.... why not? I don't know why the Korean public would be demonstrably smarter than, say, the American public. And we've got some folks around here who believe some seriously crazy shit. In fact, they're the ones *most* likely to get on the evening/global news.

And this in a culture where the degree of control of information is vastly more restrictive than it is here. I'd say most North Koreans don't have a fucking chance to make an informed decision as to the validity of their tears.

glatt 12-19-2011 06:57 PM
I'm probably insensitive to think this, but that video was hilarious. Much of it looked fake, but a lot of them were really crying. Which is nuts!

Those truly in morning were the power brokers who used Kim as their front man. Those are the greater wacko extremists. Without Kim and other more moderates to hold them back, then now is a very dangerous time. Doubtful that Kim Jung Il's 28 year old kid has the balls or experience to keep those wackos in line.

Wacko extremists (both here and there) will do almost anything to create war. Since war creates bogeymen that only entrench extremist power. Making the north an undefined entity. Especially when George Jr told North Korea that we would unilaterally attack them - without provocation - the 'axis of evil' speech.

Paid the absence of a beating, maybe?

zactly Kero.

xoxoxoBruce 12-19-2011 11:33 PM
These people were brainwashed their whole lives, with Kim and his father being the source of everything they needed to exist. The Sun literally rose each day from Kim's asshole. They have no internet or radio contact with the world, nothing to dispute it was he alone that kept the hostile world from killing them and everyone they know. I'm sure they are worried what will become of them now... will Jr be able to provide for and protect them? No wonder they're wailing.

Crocodile tears.

Guinness book record for the largest demonstration of Crocodile Tears.

ZenGum 12-21-2011 06:32 PM
Maybe they're golf fans. I mean KJI once made 11 aces in a single round. We'll never see his like again. :right:

He probably took a lot of murrigans.

and again for the funeral procession

In one scene, soldiers rushed to keep mourners from spilling onto the road. But even among the crowds, the intensity of grief — thus loyalty to the regime — seemed to vary; those standing farther from the road seemed less emotional.
...
The funeral, and the mourning, appeared to have been meticulously choreographed by the government to strengthen the cult of personality underpinning the Kim family’s rule. State television and radio announcers exhorted North Koreans to uphold the family with their lives. They even attributed the heavy snow fall ahead of the funeral to the “heaven’s grief” over Kim Jong-il’s death.

People mourn celebrities who had far less actual input in their daily lives.

And I have heard much sillier things than this after someone has died.

What kind of hearse was that?

Thanks! I had seen the pictures all over the place and none of them identified the car. I think that's one of the more important parts of the story. The best car they have in North Korea is a 1976 Lincoln. Sure, it was nice in its day, and this one looks like it's in good shape. But wtf? They hate the USA, and they are carrying the dude around on the roof of an old American car? Although I suppose the rank and file over there doesn't know it's American.

I figured they would have some new Chinese car or something. BYD of China apparently provides cars to the NK police, why not a large sedan? Maybe this was his limo and they just put him on the roof. You would think he could afford a newer limo that wasn't made by his arch enemy.

Spexxvet 12-30-2011 08:14 AM
I wonder if it's the same car that carried his father.

infinite monkey 12-30-2011 08:19 AM
I don't know nuthin' about the koreans. So, this dead guy is Kim Jong Il, and his son is Kim Jong Un...who was dad/granddad? Kim Jong Eh?

The Limo looks very much like McGarret's car. An old and well perserved Lincoln (Ford) Continential but with a classic Pennsylvania front license plate.

The NorKors probably have been told that Kim not only invented the internal combustion engine but also built that car to his own design out of his own navel fluff.

yebbut, is he still dead?

Really Joe? Do you seriously think that a car can be made out of navel fluff. Jeeez.

The car is Kim Il Jong's spawn, when he mated with a Big Wheel.

Trilby 01-13-2012 01:42 PM
huh.

The HuffPO is reporting that North Korean officials are checking out to see if anyone's grief seemed - less than 'sincere' - at the Dear Leaders Passing and IF IT DID SEEM FAKE you get 6 months in a labor camp.

harsh.

classicman 01-13-2012 04:19 PM
Just saw an article on that ... here is one from NBC

Quote:
North Korea is punishing citizens who didn’t cry during the orchestrated public mourning over the death of Kim Jong Il, sentencing them to six months in a labor-training camp, according to a report.

The South Korea-based Daily NK newspaper said authorities have held “criticism sessions” for those who “transgressed” during organized weeping in the wake of the dictator’s death.

It said North Koreans accused of criticizing the world’s only hereditary totalitarian regime are being sent to re-education camps or being banished with their families to remote rural areas.

The news website quoted a source from North Hamkyung province saying: “The authorities are handing down at least six months in a labor-training camp to anybody who didn’t participate in the organized gatherings during the mourning period, or who did participate but didn’t cry and didn't seem genuine.”

Kakistocracy. With a side dish of Oligarchy.

In some countries, bad acting can get you killed.

That might be their first policy worth adopting worldwide. Hmmm...
