:eek::eek::eek:

"The account describes how Jang Song-thaek and five of his aides were stripped naked and fed to 120 hungry hounds, who had been starved for three days. The whole process lasted an hour, and as they were eaten hundreds of officials watched."

120 starving dogs, eh? I wonder if they cooked the dogs and ate them afterwards?

I would file this under, 'don't believe everything you read'. That little heeded story has been circulating for a month.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Dynasticism can get pretty crazy. This fellow seems to be trying for Nero-level.


I'm glad George W. doesn't have a son....

It may be fake, but it is also entirely plausible.

Big news in North Korea - Dog bites man. I guess it's payback for many dogs being wokked.

Hear, Hear!

Ever been to Korea, Pat?

I got a huge chuckle when I was with a group of Americans as we walked past a butcher shop in Pusan. See, they skin the dogs up to the neck, then hang them in the display window. I guess certain breeds taste better? German Shepherds seem to be a favorite.

Anyhow, you can imagine the reaction. It was a HOOT!:p

Dennis Rodman should inquire about this. I hear he has K.J.U.'s number.

Sending messages has gone to the dogs.

Dennis Rodman, self appointed U.S. Ambassador to North Korea.:rolleyes:
Christ, what an idiot.

I'd actually love to be a fly on the wall at one of his meetings with Lil' Kim Jong. Two self important morons attempting intellectual conversation regarding their respective peoples, who think they're both assholes.

That's got to be awesome.

I think the comparison in one of the comments - of the alleged executions and the Roman spectacles - was a good one. If I recall my high school ancient history class correctly, Roman Emperors considered them selves deities (whether anyone else did or not). I have read other articles where NK citizens were punished severely for laying down a cup of tea on a newspaper photo of Daddy Kim. If the ruler has been bred to believe that he is a higher class of being than the lowly citizens, then he has no qualms about ordering a means of execution that amuses him. Of course, to us, It is Baby Kim who appears to be a lesser type of being.

Regards,
