Ten senior members of North Korea’s ruling party have been executed after they were caught watching soap operas. The officials were killed on the order of dictator Kim Jong-Un, taking the number of senior government and military members executed this year to 50, South Korea's intelligence agency have said. The ten were ‘executed by firing squad for watching South Korean soap operas, bribery or womanising’.

The little riceball was correct in executing those Nork generals. This simply had to be done.

South Korean `detergent dramas’ are EXTREMELY addictive. Our local Asian food store has three TVs playing three different Seoul soap operas all the time. Adventure, romance, historical dramas, I found myself watching them & I don’t speak a word of Korean though I once has a Korean girlfriend. I do know names of Korean foods as she was a wonderful cook.

The tubby tyrant can’t afford to take any chances with possible corruption of the purity of North Korean society. Those doomed generals should have been watching May Day footage of Dear Leader surveying his goosestepping minions.

All these countries on Earth with tactical nukes. Just one and the problem ends forever. Yet no one does.

Ergo, governments WANT him in charge at the expense of his suffering people. Yes. Ours too.

Those are just plain ugly dress covers

I thought at first those were photoshopped for some humor, but apparently they really wear them. They must feel "vertically" challenged.

He can’t afford letting people watch S. Korean TV depicting the lifestyles of average South Koreans. “What? They don’t have to eat the bark off trees?”

Heck, if you knew he was a disturbed lil chubby dictator and your chances of pissin him off for some petty thing or another and you only have a 50/50 chance of surviving around this guy....I'd take the opportunity to free my fellow countrymen/women of his tyranny.

So, like in the photo, notice none of them have side arms. They huddle around, pretend to interest oneself in his rantings, his odd behavior. Writing down every lil tid-bit as if you harbor some sort of loyalty to this nut.

Being this close...I'd take that pencil/pen, take a leap and latch hold of the lil twerp and plant that pencil in his jugular vein and lett’em bleed out.

Gonna go....might as well save a country while yo at it. lol

You have to remember every time he purges someone, it means upward mobility for someone lower on the pole. So he gets support there.

Then of course dictators encourage rivalries among their followers. Combine that with the terror of not knowing who to confide in to get a conspiracy going, and it’s not surprising they’re able to keep these reigns of terror going.

LOL.

If it wasn’t for the nukes I’d like having the NKs around, just for the entertainment value.

Glad to see our dear leader back in full form!

There is no dispute that people who watch soap operas need to be mercilessly ridiculed, but killing them seems a bit extreme.

I would impose a similar penalty in this country for fans of Jerry Springer and Maury Povich.
