North Korea Freezes Over!
What other explanation could there possibly be for Kim Jong Il to be photographed while wearing a heavy winter coat in June?
It’s stuff like this that makes North Korea such a delight for everyone who lives somewhere else.
Gizmodo had a photoshop contest staring Kim Jong Il, the respondents were much more creative and talented.

Given the lushness of the trees in the background and the ability of a winter coat to give the illusion of a solid frame to even the frailest of decrepit dictators, I don’t think it’s entirely unlikely that it was taken in June.
Old people get chilly easily. Heck, I even saw a late 40-something Navy chief wearing a coat outside today.
Mike: Thanks for the link.
