“However, he also acquired a reputation as a student for being extremely competitive, particularly in sports, with skiing and basketball apparently his favourites.”
lol. not exactly the body of an athlete.
the cloak of power about his shoulders and who knows what the NK will get for their new dictator.
As part of condolences, zer0 is sending Madame Halfbright over to attend the funeral and present a gift basketball.
...and to think I had mistaken all those celebrations for New Year's.....
Dry English Sarcastic dark humor,.....or just open reporting on North Korea?????
How come Occupy Pyongyang isn’t calling for elections?
6/ However, he also acquired a reputation as a student for being extremely competitive, particularly in sports, with skiing and basketball apparently his favourites.
7/ His moment in his father’s spotlight reportedly came when his elder half-brother Kim Jong-nimmed – a former favourite – fell out of favour after being caught trying to enter Japan on a fake passport in order to visit Tokyo Disneyland.
8/ A Japanese chef who used to work as Kim Jong-il’s personal chef has described the new successor as “a chip off the old block, a spitting image of his father in terms of face, body shape and personality”.
9/ Following in the footsteps of the godlike reverence that surrounded his father, the younger Kim’s birthday has apparently been made a national holiday, celebrated annually on 1 January.
10/ Soldiers across North Korea have reportedly been shown a documentary film about the incoming leader over recent months, which is said to begin with the words: “Following in the footsteps of the General, offering guidance to the troops, comrade General Kim Jong Un delivers a great blow to the enemy with the resourcefulness of his keen insight.”
I first read the above commentary as serious,...but the more I read it, the better it reads as droll, dry, English comedy. Actually, very, very, very good comedy.
Then again, is it intended as humor or reporting?
The Japanese chef’s complement,...hehehe.
"How you like me NOW, Hans Brix?!!!"
Net Geo - Inside North Korea (Also avail on netflix streaming). This video really shows how controlling Dear Leader was over the people.
Lets see how long the military lets him live. I’m looking for a coup a couple of weeks/mos after the funeral.
Definitely smarter than Zippy.
