One Dictator Minus - Kim Jong Il on The Hungry Beast

Kim Jong Il is dead. He was is as dead as a door-nail*. Watch The Hungry Beast video channel's summary of his character with an animation-sequence that makes the Aussie accent a notch more understandable. I made a transcription and a glossary for you, these can be read below. Peace! 

Meet Kim Jong Il, supreme leader of North Korea, the world's most captive nation. The slave-state, where famine is the norm, 49 million people are trapped in their homes every night without electricity. An old-school dictator, the reclusive Kim mixes repression with myth-making and delusions of grandeur. North Korean children are taught that his birth was heralded by a spontaneous double-rainbow, a new star and a giant talking iceberg. Apparently many also believe that he controls the weather. But, that is not Kim's only magic. According to state textbooks Kim does not produce urine or feces. His official biography insists that Kim Jong Il is the world's greatest golfer routinely scoring 3 or 4 holes-in-one every time he plays.

Kim Jong Il is also prime to dictatorial whim. It is claimed that in 1989 Kim cleansed the entire capital, Pyongyang of short people. He also imprisoned family members of convicts, believing the stain of criminality persists for 3 generations.

North Koreans live in poverty with 68% of the country's population living on food rations and one in three children malnourished. Meanwhile flight- phobic Kim reportedly air-lifts lobsters into his armored train when he travels. Kim also likes a drink: Hennessy Cognac say that in 1993 and 1994 the dictator was the company's biggest single client.

But Kim Jong Il is not impervious to his people's needs. In 2006 he announced the plan to import and breed giant rabbits to feed the poor. He then discovered that they produced less food than they consumed, but Kim still bought 12.

When not starving or imprisoning people Kim loves to create. His biography says he's composed 6 operas   and stages elaborate musicals. He's also a movie-buff, author of 'On The Art of Cinema'. And in 1978 Kim had a South Korean film director Shin Seng Ok and his wife  kidnapped. They were held captive for 8 years and forced to make propaganda movies, all of which credit Kim as executive producer. Best known is Pulgasari, which is basically Godzilla, as capitalism and made out of rice. Kim Jong Il, dictator, myth-maker and jailer. It would all be funny, if it wasn't so sad…
