I'm So Ronery
So ronery
So ronery and sadry arone

There's no one
Just me onry
Sitting on my rittle throne
I work rearry hard and make up great prans
But nobody ristens, no one understands
Seems like no one takes me serirousry

And so I'm ronery
A rittle ronery
Poor rittle me

There's nobody
I can rerate to
Feel rike a bird in a cage
It's kinda sihry
But not rearry
Because it's fihring my body with rage

I'm the smartest most crever most physicarry fit
But nobody else seems to rearize it
When I change the world maybe they'll notice me
But until then I'rr just be ronery
Rittle ronery, poor rittle me

I'm so ronery...

I can't picture where I seen that footage from. Ahh, I got it.

I'm sure I seen that footage from the Beetles visiting NK in 1970.

Rest. In. Pieces.

I just felt like saying that line. It's like an action movie line. Speaking of which...

There's always been a battle between the Internal Security forces and the army, Kim Jung Il was suspected to be firmly in the camp on their security apparatus. His son is suppossed to have been the guy that authorized the attack on the South Korean frigate last year, and its suspected that he's firmly in the camp of the Generals which could mean a more active military once junior gets into power.

He's rumored to be a hardliner, a very spoiled and corrupt boy who follows his dads love for liquor rich foods, and riches. He's also not as cagey as Kim Jong Il was who was crazy like a fox and managed to manipulate western aid through threats.

There are news reports all over BBC surfacing now that apparently he has been dead since 2008 when he had the stroke; but they've just been pulling a "Weekend at Bernie's" since then.

Kim 3.0 was educated in Western Europe. Hopefully he has a bit more understanding than the Dear Leader did about . . . Well, everything really.

I just wanted to post why the eldest son didn't become the heir:

Quote:
At one point, Kim Jong Il's eldest son, Kim Jung Nam, was considered the top candidate to succeed his father before he fell out of favor after he got caught trying to
sneak a trip to Tokyo Disneyland using a forged passport.

Omg... the massed synchronized mourning for Kim Jong Il's passing is a little disturbing. I call fake rather than brainwashed.

The official North Korean media describes his haircut as "sobering and stylish."

I was surprised to read that he was actually born in Russia and his birth name was Yuri Irsenevich Kim.

Stalin was an incredibly brutal dictator that used the KGB to turn citizen against Citizens ruled by fear, put the people through incredible food shortages and openly destroyed people because he could.

The level of state mourning was amazing.

In North Korea because of the limited access to international media, and the inability to leave their country, combined with the iron clad control of the educational system, the rank and file North Korean not only believes that they live in a workers paradise, they believe that the rest of the world is in far worse shape.

The mourning is genuine, there will be no Asian Spring in North Korea.

I think you doubt the degree to which these people are brainwashed; they honestly believe pretty much everything the state throws at them; including the mysticism surrounding their 'great leader'; Its really something none of us can understand.
