kim jung il north korea says he's dead.
?
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Kim Jong Il, North Korea's mercurial and enigmatic leader, has died. He was 69. Kim's death was announced Monday by the state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang. Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008 but appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media. The leader, reputed to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine, was believed to have had diabetes and heart disease. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean television announces in a "special broadcast" that its leader Kim Jong Il has died in Pyongyang. He was 69.

video from when his father died (note the quality of the video, this is from 1994 and I doubt it even lost much fidelity in the upload. Silly commies don't know shit about HD)

What about his Son?
The followers of the legacy are nearly always harder/restrictive on forks than the first/founder... Think world religions.

Hopefully His Pudginess can bring his people out of the dark ages, but sadly I don't see it happening.

Im not sure what you mean Dhom.
I hurt the news around 10pm est. Its odd to be so happy over someones death, but when I hurt the news I was half asleep, and a jolt of happiness surged through my body.

I know when I'm grief stricken to the point of crying I make sure to do so while standing in straight columns of similarly dressed individuals. Grief just doesn't count unless it's conformist.
