The Beloved Leader

[rain_gryphon]

The Beloved Leader has met his doom! Mourning is mandatory!

(I tend to wonder how long he's actually been dead. I suspect a year or more, given that there seems to have been some sort of political maneuvering going on behind the scenes for about that long. It will be interesting to see if they display the body.)

He was definitely in much worse health than the DPRK tried to let on, at least. Every alleged public appearance photo of him in the last few years was clearly (and badly) Photoshopped.

I had a link in one of my old 'beloved leader' entries to a poorly executed photoshop where he was lit at a different angle than everyone around him. It interests me that for all of these that have appeared, the State Department never called attention to any of them.

Here's a pretty classic example (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/06/kim-jong-il-photoshop-err_n_141927.html), from 3 years ago.

That's the one, yeah.
