Kim Jong-il's Second Son to Inherit Dictatorial Mantle
2005-09-28
So what's he gonna be called, like, Really Excellent Leader?
North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has decided to pass the mantle of leadership of one of the world’s most repressive regimes to his second son Kim Jong-chul (23), according to AERA magazine, a sister publication of Japan's Asahi Shimbun.
Thanks, dad! Are the imported blonde hookers and the cognac part of the deal?
In its Sept. 26 edition, AERA quotes an informed official as saying Kim Jong-il’s mind was made up. Numerous sources said the last few months have seen a political education campaign on all levels of the Stalinist country including the workplace exalting Kim Jong-chul as the legitimate successor to his spiky-haired father’s personality cult. Such a campaign would be unimaginable without the direct blessing of the North Korean leadership. Leader-in-waiting Jong-chul is referred to as "the Commander" in these lectures.
"The Commander"? That sucks! They got KCNA and all they can come up with is "The Commander"?? What kinda lameass shit is that?
According to the magazine, Kim, who was born on Sept. 25, 1981, studied at an international school in Switzerland. He is reportedly such a big fan of the U.S. NBA that his doting father built basketball courts at his villas throughout North Korea. Jong-chul 's older brother Jong-nam (34) fell from grace after he was caught trying to enter Japan on a forged passport.
...and now... youuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrr...Pyongyang Running Dogs!!!
AERA said “the Commander” could make an appearance in the memorial ceremony marking the 60th anniversary of the Workers Party of Korea on Oct. 10, likely to be a massive celebration provided North Korea's relationship with the U.S. improves.
Maybe shoot 18 with pops after? Make sure you lose though, kid. Kimmies moody and Jong-nam hasn't been turned into Soylent Green yet. Shoot at least a 24 to be on the safe side.
Anybody seen Dad in public lately? Awfully concerned about who gets the family business all of a sudden.
