I still can't believe North Korea, frickin North Korea, bullied an American Company into not releasing a movie. shite pissed me off and got me interested in learning more about the Supreme Leader behind it all. Turns out like half of North Korea's internet news site is devoted to pictures and stories about him visiting places.

Something about it all just fascinates me. How this pudgy, spoiled manchild goes around to different places and provides "guidance" like he's some kind of god. Here are some of the more interesting/comical ones.

As a fun game try to count how many cigarettes, notepads and scared faces you can find.
