Life imitates The Onion: KCNA says Kim Jong Un appears in public

So says … KCNA, which also reported the discovery of a unicorn lair in 2012, and a series of supernatural events after Kim Jong Il’s death in 2011.

Personally, I’m still skeptical. If Kim Jong Un is really as healthy as they want us to believe he is, why don’t they just do what Kim Jong Il did and release some oil paintings to prove it?

Update: Well, damn. Now I want to see him holding up the newspaper. Preferably, with both hands.

Update: At the WaPo, Anna Fifield summarizes:

The reports should put an end to rumors that Kim has been overthrown or is under house arrest, but will do little end speculation about this health.

  2. If you shaved His Porcine Highness’ head, wouldn’t he be a dead ringer for Mini-Me?

    Maybe we could get him a job in the next Austin Powers movie. gr

  4. The season-less Oahu climate has my bearings off, but the grass and mountains in the outdoor picture look more like early spring than early autumn.

  5. Thanks for posting this article. I think it is very revealing.

    When, o when, will his minions enter the 21st century and get handheld digital recorders to record the gems that fall from his cheese covered lips?

    Judging from the article’s pictures, he looks as portly as ever. I see no evidence of weight loss which one might expect from a nearly 40 day illness.

    Also, I wish he’d make up his mind which leg he is favoring. Previous videos show Kim limping and favoring his right leg. In another video showing him walking up steps, he appeared to manage the steps OK with the right leg but then favored the right leg when he reached the top step. In the last picture in this article, he appears to be favoring the left left judging by the cane in his left hand.

    Is all this a ruse?

  6. Are we sure these pictures are even recent? The regime isn’t exactly known to be trustworthy.
