Post subject: Kim Jong Il, living it up while his people starve

And no one is paid better than the CEO. Which is fortunate for Kim Jong Il -- whose net worth approaches $4 billion -- because he has always had expensive tastes. He likes fast cars, gourmet foods, and fine liquors. Suffice it to say, none of these things is produced in North Korea and FedEx doesn't deliver there. As expensive as those luxuries are in the West, they cost even more to procure north of the 38th Parallel. But procure them they must. Evidently, the man loves to throw banquets and has a penchant for fine cognac (his favorite is Hennessy V.S.O.P).

Kim's obsession for fine dining comes off sounding kind of selfish when you consider that millions of his countrymen have been killed by lack of food. A series of droughts, coupled with Kim's irrational farming and draconian economic policies, have given no relief to a decade of famine. As a direct result, at least ten percent of the man's population has died. In 1999, South Korean intelligence services claimed that somewhere between 2.5 and 3 million North Koreans succumbed to starvation over the four previous years. This puts him third behind Mao and Josef Stalin for most people starved to death.

He has other rarefied tastes as well. Kim is a world-class cineaste; by the 1970s his collection had grown to more than 15,000 films (on reels -- this was before videocassettes and DVDs). He especially loves Hollywood movies. His favorites include Rambo, Friday the 13th, the James Bond series, and Hong Kong action films. His favorite stars are Elizabeth Taylor and Sean Connery.

Kim also adores children's cartoons, especially Daffy Duck. (Evidently, the Dear Leader has amassed the world's largest collection of Daffy cartoons.) And he's a giant Michael Jackson fan.

He also loves pornography. In addition, according to rumor, Kim also keeps a harem of beautiful women for the purpose of ****. The dictator is regularly serviced by a nubile "Pleasure Squad," a stable of babes composed primarily of young Asians and Europeans.

In his free time Kim wrote six operas, over a span of only two years. This he could accomplish because he's a goddamned genius. As one North Korean diplomat expressed his nation's gratitude during Kim's 61st birthday celebration: "We're able to face the U.S. superpower and the hostile U.S. policies because of our brilliant commander, Chairman Kim Jong Il. He is a thinker on a par with Marx and Lenin."

Yes, very sick. I can't take the credit for writing it though. I copy and pasted it. But it's written damn well.

So, he's living it up while his people starve? Mao and Stalin did the same - Hell, Mao was having a great time while 43 million starved to death, but no one here even admits it, let alone criticises him for it.

What is it with these fake Communists? Nothing but the lowest grade of pond scum.

I gotta hand it to KJI for having extraordinary personal style - who else could pull off a green jumpsuit, black sunglasses and some sort of 80's new wave hairstyle like that and still have time to torture and brainwash a nation of people?

I think it's very insensitive of you to criticize KJI. We must be sensitive to other cultures. To criticize him is to dis his culture and all cultures are created equal and we should all love and respect each other. The da1a¡ 1ama says so. Or maybe it's some other Hindu. Maybe it was Martin Luther King Jr.

Omigod. Here I go again. I must stop labeling people.
