Kim Jung Un is missing

[tar503]

He missed the big celebration today of the founding of the worker's party, which is fueling speculation that he is very sick, dead, or has been overthrown secretly. According to state media, he was suffering from "discomfort."

What do you all think? Is this a good or bad thing? What happens to DPRK if Un is dead or overthrown?

[Musicat]

This might become verrrry interesting. The recent visit of North diplomats to the South might just be a harbinger of change and Un's demise might make it happen.

[Jaglavak]

Aaaaand they're shooting at each other yet again.

[Borborygmi]

This sounds like a classic case of having to deal with either the devil you don't know vs. the devil you really don't know.

[Chocodile]

My take is that the press is engaging in its propensity for turning anthills into termite mounds. I think the stories of a torn tendon are true and he's just resting up.

I do see indications that the government realizes it can't hold though. South Korea isn't anxious to re-merge, so I believe they're trying to find a way to not be taken over by China. If it comes down to invasion, everyone's going to step back and let it happen because North Korea have been jerks. But making kissy-kissy with the the USA and S. Korea is one way to gain a measure of protection.

[Muffin]

Wonder if he is suffering from butt-hurt?

[Chocodile]

Dude's almost 32, it's time he snapped out of the emo kid stage. It's time he got married and started pumping out pumpkin-headed babies. Rumor has it that he posts on message boards under the username PSXer.

[Harry]

He is married. Speculation now is that his sister is running the government.

[Zeener Diode]

I heard a report that said he has a broken ankle.

This from the same government that claimed Kim Jong Il was recovering from a cold a month after he started growing moss on his north side.

...which he certainly didn't get from over-exercising, as much as I hate to diss people who are overweight, being among that demographic myself.

[scurvy]

I'm still inclined toward gout or diabetes.

The trip south by the two high officials is very significant I think. It may be that whoever has taken over from KJU wants to decelerate the tension and get more aid from the south.

I just did a spit take on my monitor.

Broken after his body fell over his desk after being shot in the head, no doubt.

That should be easy to fix. After all, he invented the ankle. Right after he invented fire and the wheel.

I hope so. Except, what drooling psycho will be the next alpha swine?

[I, Claudiot]

They could make a game out of it, call it "Where's Weirdo?"

His cousin, Menta Li-IL.

Then both of you should start eating healthy food and laying off the booze, because I think Kim jong ill might have the same shit. He can eat like anything he wants "Bring me 18 chocolate covered lobster and make it snappy!"

[tar503]

I think he's ill, possibly very ill. With the way the DPRK works, a coup is extremely difficult (there are great rewards for those who turn in possible dissidents, and entire families and extended families are punished for the actions of a single individual). If a coup was going to happen, Jong-Un would have to be so extremely unpopular that a large enough group would risk it. And there would have to be some other charismatic leader to fill the gap since the whole country runs on unleaded cult fuel. I just don't see it happening.

[Chocodile]

Perhaps it's only coincidence but he disappeared right after those pictures from The Fappening came out.

[Jaglavak]

Unfortunately, the pundits think he is still alive and more or less in charge. Recovering from an illness, they say. My theory of the day is lead poisoning from a partially successful assassination attempt.

Would you say that was partially successful or partially un-successful?

I suppose that depends on if you are a thanatoptimist or not.

That really cut to the jongular.

[The Futility of Nihilism]

Well, while we're all suffering withdrawal from the constant news reports of the world's strongest, most intelligent, righteous and sexiest third world dictator, here's looking back at some of his exciting adventures that really happened.

He's BaAAack....

[Guinastasia]

Dude might wanna lay off the kimchi.

[Paul in Qatar]

When he came out of hiding, did he see his shadow?

[Muffin]

Is that Kimchi Jung Un, or is that the animatronic device created to fill in for him?

[Jaglavak]

I seriously doubt if one person in the world truly gives a shit.
