Even assh0les die.

Even majorly evil assh0les die.

Now he'll be reincarnated as a shite-eating fly's flea.

IF he's lucky.

I did not know this before today: the Kim dynasty created "Joy Brigades", and our recently dead moron midget/troll dictator enjoyed their services. Wikipedia:

Quote:
The Gippeumjo (translated variously as Pleasure Group, Pleasure Groups, Pleasure Squad, Pleasure Brigade, Joy Brigade, or Joy Division) is a collection of groups of approximately 2,000 women and girls between the ages of 13 and 40 (although most are believed to be between 18 and 25), which are maintained by the head of state of North Korea for the purpose of providing pleasure and entertainment for high-ranking Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) officials and their families, as well as occasionally also distinguished guests.
Apparently there were three squadrons within the Brigades, one for sexual services, one for massage, and one for dancing.

Spexx yeah I was curious about that, but the group's Wikipedia page says "...the band renamed themselves Joy Division in early 1978, borrowing their new name from the prostitution wing of a Nazi concentration camp mentioned in the 1955 novel "The House of Dolls". So Joy Division preceded Kim's Joy Divisions.

Can somebody just take North Korea aside and beat it up in the bathroom or something? I'm not talking about getting really violent, just smack it upside the head and let it know that it's creepy and it can't pretend to be one of the cool kids until it gets its shit together.

North Korea will NEVER be one of the cool kids.

Nevah, evah.

I wonder if and how much they were paid to cry for a man who murdered millions.
I didn't actually see any tears either. Lots of wiping and wailing, but no real tears.
Dunno, maybe its just me, but it looks staged.

I guess for some of them it is genuinely the loss of a charismatic leader in whom they had put their hopes*, but for others it is the death of a resented tyrant but they know they'd better make a big show for fear of punishment. I wonder how many there are of each.

*I'm not saying he was any good, mind you.

Not until it's all just one Korea again, and Han China can just go stand with its nose in the corner. Then they can stop starving and not have to eat cornstalk soup any more.

Talk radio has been laughing its little speaker off at the strange, stagey, wailing audio coming out of DPRK. Maybe a sound like Korean opera characters weeping?
