    Kim Jong-il's Body Will Lie In State Forever

    Kim Jong-il's Body Will Lie In State Forever

    North Korea announced today that Kim Jong-il's body will be put on permanent display in Kumsusan Memorial Palace, lying beside the body of his father, for all to see. After his death in 1994, North Korean founder Kim Il-sung's body was embalmed by the same Russian experts responsible for maintaining Vladimir Lenin's corpse in its pristine condition and it has been on display in a glass coffin in Kumsusan ever since. Kim Jong-il's body was placed in a similar coffin until his funeral on December 28, but has not been seen since as the Russian specialist were reportedly being flown in to preserve the body. The new regime also announced that bronze statues and "towers of eternal life" will be built in nearly every North Korea city to honor the "Dear Leader" and that his birthday on February 16 will be officially designated as the "the Day of the Lodestar," a term often used to describe the younger Kim. So be sure to pay him a visit on your next trip to Pyongyang.

      they can build statues to this jerk in every town and city. Why not feed your people with the money you will spend.

      I think they should pickle Kim and put him in a big glass jar so all his loyal subjects can pray to him.

        They could put him in a U-Haul ox cart and drag him all over the country so everybody could see the dead guy.

        you guys got enough to worry about with all your spicks and other undesirables.

        You can't go there. That's their method of maintaining power. Complete isolation. It's not really communism, it's more like a theo-oligarchy, with one of the Kim family as the deity. If they were ordinary Americans, the Kims would be hoarders or conspiracy theorists.

      Ah, yes. Forever immortalize the ones who enslaved and impoverished a nation and isolated them from the world...(rolling eyes)

      Yo...Kimmy....how about feeding your people instead. They can't eat bronze statues and towers.

      Russia the land of cold brutal winters and permafrost. Korea, the land of humid summers, and all kinds of bugs. Can you imagine the expense to keep a corpse on display in that country?

      I also find it interesting in the communist countries where worship of God is greatly done away with, they need to turn their leaders into "little gods" to be preserved forever.

      Will he be in "Carbonite"?
    • Joe Schmoe  •  Hobbs, New Mexico  •  4 mths ago
      Good choice. He's not good enough for the worms to recycle.
    • Bill  •  San Francisco, California  •  4 mths ago
      Dear Leader's rotting corpse will sure get smelly on a warm summer day
    • Milton  •  4 mths ago
