Kim Jong Il's Body to Be Permanently Displayed
2012-01-13
[ABC News] North Korea says late leader Kim Jong Il's body will be permanently laid in state in a memorial palace in the capital. Kim's body will be displayed at Pyongyang's Kumsusan Memorial Palace, where his father and North Korea founder Kim Il Sung's embalmed body has been lying since his death in 1994.

#15  Gack...This doesn't quite pass the "smell test". Prolly a faulty seal or gasket. How quaint.

Courvoisier? Truffles perhaps?

#9  What happens to places like that when a regime fails? Didn't Planet Hollywood go bust? There can't be much of a market for Kim corpses. I can see Georgetown University creating a shrine for Lenin's corpse, but who would want Dear Leader? He's not like a mechanical windmill that you could use for miniature golf.

#1  Permanently displaying your father's body is a really weird family custom.
