North Korean Television Airs Video Of Kim Jong-Il’s Body

» 22 comments

If there’s one thing you can say about Kim Jong-il (and chances are there’s gonna be; his life seemed particularly thing sayable), it’s that his death was much better than those of most dictators and enemies of America that have been dropping like flies lately. That’s why his body is currently resting in a gorgeous glass coffin and not being dragged through the streets or tossed into the ocean by a group of American soldiers. Recently, North Korean television aired footage of Jong-il’s body.

They’re some fairly static images but, from what I’ve gathered, it’s still more interesting than most North Korean television.

Still, despite Jong-il dying at a fairly young age, you know Muammar Gaddafi would kill for an exit like this.

Then again, for guys like these, killing was never that weird an occurrence. More like a Tuesday. So maybe I should have said Muammar Gaddafi would have treated his people like human beings for an exit like this!

Watch the clip, hosted over here by the Associated Press, below:

    I sure do hope they don’t stuff him and put him on permanent display like the Russians did with Lenin, was it.

    He looks so natural.

    He’s in a better place.

    Actually, Janet, it’s not taxidermy. It’s constant embalming and re-embalming and frequent chemical baths. Previously, the “upkeep” was paid for by the government, but no longer. Individual donations. The same team also treats Ho Chi Minh’s body.

    Stalin was similarly treated for a short time until his body was removed from Lenin’s tomb.

    And, a most happy Christmas to you, Janet.

    Yeah, we all would love to you see you in that same layout, son.

    I should think so. Better than Alabama, too, I imagine.

    I’m sure Ted Kennedy is excited that he finally has someone who shares his passion for booze to drink with.

    This is a perfect time to strike a “deal” with North Korea.  They begin to behave themselves  -  and we send them…Nancy Grace.

    He’s taller in death than in life… seems to me they stretched out his body and made fake feet under the red sheet. I think he was listed as 5’3″ or shorter and there is no way in hell the guy laying on that table is 5’3″ … more like 6’2″

    You forgot “vile creep” on your resume.
    Btw, during your alleged time in the Navy, did you ever have an alcoholic drink, or know anyone else who did? I had heard rumors that sometimes sailors do that, but I’m sure it’s just vicious gossip.
    Oh, add “hypocrite”, too.

    Kim Jong-il is now Kim Jong-dead.

    Body looks well-preserved…must have been all the alcohol in his system.  BTW, wanna know successor Kim Jong-Un’s favorite soft drink?  Seven-up, the UN-cola.

    you sure are sensitive over the death of two of the world’s most notorious boozers. one who drank and drowned a woman in his car and another who drank and murderd/starved 100′s of thousands of his own people. i’ve had a few drinks in my life but nobody ever died from it and yet i’m the “vile creep”.

    Too bad it’s not Kim Jong 0bozo in the photo.

    For comparing Ted Kennedy to that piece of crap, simply because you didn’t like him, earns you that honor.

    Or better yet, you.

    Ted Kennedy already welcomed his soul-mate, KKK Grand Wizard Robert Byrd, a while ago, in the company of Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, FDR and Jeffrey Dahmer.

    They can all welcome Kim Jong Il now, and share a few drinks and a few young boys.

    awwww…you rightwingers are still upset that Obama took out Gadhafi and Bin Laden.

    I often wonder if Lenin’s body isn’t a wax dummy at this point.
