He gets around. LOL.

Ping!

Yep, he’s dead.

[JennysCool]

Dear Leader can wok and chew gum at the SAME TIME!

[TigerLikesRooster]

I wonder why he is wearing a glove when checking out chewing gums, especially indoors. Is it that cold inside?

[Jet Jaguar]

“Subjects, this is how to chew gum!”

[Jet Jaguar]

The factory folk don’t look too cold.

His left hand was pocketed in recent pics? I seem to recall that after he did not have a stroke.

[Jet Jaguar]

Actually, upon further look, they all look like they are in a freezer.

KJI: The sharks have finished with Hans Blix but they've left the bones, what should I do with them?

Guard: Great Leader, the bubble gum factory is running low on ingredients - why not grind the bones up and give it to them...

KJI: and send the gum as a 'gift' to the UN weapons inspectors!

[SMCC1]

That guy is sooo weird. LoL.

[Cheapskate]

Get a load of the expression on his face!

if that aint a "the lights are on but thwere's nobody home"look, I don't know what is.

I think that stroke left him seriously screwed

[chemical_boy]

Chinese Masters pinned his mittens to his sleeves?

How many ‘body doubles’ does this guy have now? Or should I say DID he have. We may never know the answer.

[PhilDragoo]

Dear Leader has the Doublemint Twins hovering, one on each shoulder, like gargoyles.

"Okay, this is my tub, right?"

There’s some odd artifacts on that lady’s right hand. It looks as though her hand was removed, then that new hand was attached for this photo. I’m not quite sure, but its not like any artifact I’ve seen out my high end digital SLR. Anyway, no biggie.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Kim not so ronery today.

Good ol' North Korea. Even their "chewing gum factory" photo ops have to be edited to protect state secrets. (Or maybe she was wearing some kind of "incorrect" evil ring.) BTW - good catch!
