I suspect a show of force wouldn't be off the table for NK

Sky News just showed some officials crying. It was very amusing.

What you didn't see on the other side of the camera was the soldier with a gun shouting 'Cry! CRY!'

I'm wondering which are worse, the loyal citizens crying (frankly laughable) crocodile tears or the ones who are genuinely upset that he's gone.

It's just like when we lost Diana!

His son Kim Jong-un said.

"I'm so ronery"

I can't see it. There's nothing to gain, and I have a feeling that his sons are more accustomed with the modern world than he was.

Hopefully (naive I know) they'll start to modernise the place rather than using it as their own fiefdom to maintain a playboy lifestyle.

The whole thing is propped up by China. If they take a view then that's what'll happen whatever the NK generals want.

I guess the corpse must no longer have been convincing enough since he died 12 years ago, so they had to announce his death.

No he was propped up by a stick, by North Korea.

I suppose it was inerrirable

Not really, Kim was a major pain in the ass for China, they'll be very happy to see him gone.
I can see a new start for NK and China will become involved with that

Wasn't that just when the stick broke and the body fell onto the button?

[paddyhasneeds]

So, are all those people really crying or are they gassing them or something?

It's weird and creepy.

What you don't see behind the cameras are the armed soldiers pointing guns at their families.

Have a look at this. It's genius. Looks like it's taken from a Mel Brooks film.

He only got had one jacket?

I guess he bought a job lot from ilbay. It's almost Einstienian, a legend once said that the genius had multiple sets of the same clothes to avoid wasting genius powers on deciding what to wear.

When you think about it, it's true. Take TOWIE for example, you just know they spend a lot of time deciding what to wear, leaving them to be retarded for the rest of the day.

Did you read the article?

An edited Reuters article said:

An unnamed South Korean official was quoted by Yonhap news agency as sayinghe did not believe the launch was linked to the announcement of Kim's death.

"This is something that the military has continued to follow, and we believe it is not related to the death of Chairman Kim Jong-il," Yonhap quoted the official as saying.

The launch probably came in the morning, before the North's state media announced at noon the death of Kim from a heart attack on Saturday.

The North periodically test-fires short-range missiles into the waters off its coasts as part of routine training or timed to sensitive political developments.

I think we all felt the same when Brown resigned though.

Can't view the link at work, is it from Blazin Saddles?

I remember the BBC doing the same with the UK populace when McBrown left number 10
