#1 He looks like he eats well ...

Looks like he at a lot of those "bread with minced beef" sandwiches that his father invented.

Except this guy is so smart, he probably got the idea to add pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and a special sauce. And switched it up to a sesame seed bun.

#2 Yet another source from North Hamgyong Province said the federation of famished farmers passed out material praising Kim Jong-un's skills at actually being able to defecate. Later, speaking in ancient Aramaic, Jong-un declared that Mohammad was "a clown, and a tremendous asshole."

#3 With all his family's isolation, in-fighting and the contempt from his older siblings, I'll be surprised if he doesn't turn out to be some sort of 'genius' psychopath. Probably a good defense mechanism for survival, but bad for the folks around him.

From the few photos I've seen of him, he has those 'soulless' eyes and deadpan expression that we've come to recognize when we meet a person without conscience.

You got there before me. Is our MSM any more factual than the NK state media?

#6 Propaganda Machine Hails Kim Jong-un as 'Genius'

Here we call it the Main Stream Media (MSM) praising the genius of their anointed leader. It appears the accredited ruling elite aren't much different from one socialist system to another.

#8 Hey RsJ did young-in really say

In ancient Aramaic, no less, which I suspect none of the Radio Free Asia reporters on the Korea beat would recognize, let alone understand. I think dear Johnnie ibn Ralph was indulging in a bit of creative sarcasm.
