N Korean leader Kim Jong-il dies |
2011-12-19 |
Current joke at the Ace of Spades: in honor of the Dear Leader's memory, North Korea will turn off all its lights tonight. Good night, Dear Leader... North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has died at the age of 69, state-run television has announced. Mr Kim, who has led the He suffered a stroke in 2008 and was absent from public view for months. He died arone and ronery... His designated successor is believed to be his third son, Kim Jong-un, who is thought to be in his late 20s. New boss, old boss, etc. The BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul says Mr Kim's death will cause huge shock waves across North Korea. She had to go all the way to SKor to figure that out? The announcement came in an emotional statement read out on national television. Bwwwwa haa haa haa haa, oh- *sniff* The announcer, wearing black, said he had died of physical and mental over-work. Harvesting grass for his people to eat... South Korea says its military has been put on alert following the announcement and its National Security Council is convening for an emergency meeting, Yonhap news agency reports. |

#10 I'm distressed over the hundreds of Kimmie jokes I've saved up for a special occasion that I can't use anymore. Did he really wear 4-inch platform shoes? Even at $700 a bottle, $800,000 a year for cognac is a lot of boozing it up. You don't suppose some of his problems were alcoholism related dementia or just plain nuttiness? AND if he drank that much they won't have to embalm him. Is it possible that a revolution could occur in the vacuum and we can be rid of this cancerous blot on civilization? |

#6 It's unfortunate that he didn't die swinging from a lamp-post like he deserved. Still, a dead tyrant is a good tyrant. |

#3 Kim Jong Un is the real question mark. At 29, he is not as integrated into the power hierarchy as his father was (Kim Jong Il was in his 50's when he took power). This raises the question: will he feel the need to demonstrate his power so that he can get "credibility" with the old guard, by way of shelling an island, or sinking another patrol boat, or something worse? That's the big concern. |
