Homogenic
Kim Jong-Il looking at sausages from Kim Jong-Il looking at things.
Hitchens died on Thursday, Vaclav Havel died on Sunday, and this morning that natty sunglasses-and-Mao-jacket-wearing, horrible poetry-writing, filmmaker-abducting, Godzilla ripoff auteur-ing overlord of a literally divided country with no food but with nuclear weapons Kim Jong-Il waved bye-bye to this mortal coil.
We don’t know if anyone will miss him (That would depend on his successor) other than the South Park guys, sketch comedy writers and mad dictator junkies, and the writers of 30 Rock will have to figure out what happens to Avery, but with the deaths of Hitch, Havel, and Kim the world has become a more homogeneous place. Everyone looks, acts and sounds more and more alike, mass produced, brainwashed. The more they strive to “define” themselves and set themselves apart from the multitudes the more clone-like factory replicant they seem.

Well his successor is unique in that he is the only North Korean who is obese.
Interestingly the eldest son was passed over due to being “unmanly” which may well be a Pyongyang euphemism.

Actually Kim Jong Il had 3 sons. The eldest son was passed over because he fell out of favor after being arrested trying to enter Japan using a fake Dominican Republic passport. What’s funny about that is that he was trying to go to Disneyland.
The successor’s older brother (from the same mother) is the one who was deemed unmanly to lead the country.
The Kim Jong Il looking at things blog is hilarious!

I think this would be an appropriate place (apart from FB and Twitter) to post this link. Talk about replicants.
