Breaking news is that he has died of "Mental and Physical over work".
As normal play nicely in these threads to post funeral then start the mud slinging in separate threads to the death notice.
Wow, that is unexpected.
Would be curious how North Korea develops now.
I was watching that Kong-li vs. Hulk Hogan video from the other thread I saw this. This is a ridiculously strange and surprising turn of events
Who's in charge now?
According to at least one source (http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/evanosnos/2011/12/kim-jong-il-is-dead.html): "For now, the throne has passed, as it did to him, to his chosen, untested successor: his third son, Kim Jong-un, who is in his twenties and woke today with ultimate responsibility for twenty-five million people who deserve better."
-edit-
A little more detail from the hermit kingdom (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5izIlSjdJ6OnbxnvsA8REol_H-PpA?docId=e4eb9efdbd884d2fbff01ada250d87de):
North Korea on Monday urged its 24 million people to rally behind 20-something heir-apparent Kim Jong Un as the nation mourned the death of supreme leader Kim Jong Il. [...] The North's official Korean Central News Agency said the country, people and military "must faithfully revere respectable comrade Kim Jong Un."
"At the leadership of comrade Kim Jong Un, we have to change sadness to strength and courage and overcome today's difficulties," it said.
I also heard that Jong-Il's son-in-law might make a move to become Chairman of the national defense commission.
Wow, that is unexpected.

Not really the man had looked worse and worse for almost 3 years now.

I imagine this is how people felt when Stalin died, though.
This is not really a good time for a belligerant, isolationist, country to have a leadership crisis, what with everything else the World Powers have to worry about.
Lil' Kim...we hardly knew ya.
Enjoy the creepiness.

I see no tears brrr
Saw an interview with a blind NK woman, what she missed most was that she could no longer see the great leader. Anyway I hope things wil become better for the North Koreans.

Yeah, I hope they will overthrow their crazy commie government and can reunite with SK. I think that is the only way things will get better for them.

For all the suffering he inflicted on his people, it seems to have been done more out of lunacy than outright badness.
And he must have had a tough time of it in his last few years, personally speaking.
He was still just a human being.
So, RIP.
Except all the zombies from Lemur's video would hate you for liberating them.
That's the really creepy thing.
It's mass lunacy, the masses worshipping a lunatic.
It's sad but Lemur's video made me laugh several times, because most horror movies with zombies and ghosts would struggle to reach that level of creepiness.
All these people are deluded beyond, well, I don't know beyond what but it's really bad.
It doesn't really matter whether their great leader was deluded as well, I hope his son may improve matters but chances are slim and it doesn't seem like an easy task.
Frontline did a very gutsy show on a doctor who did mass cataract surgeries in NK. The thing that creeped me out was how everyone felt compelled to thank the Dear Leader for their vision, although he had nothing to do with it.
Video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoHsicn7duU&t=3m53s).
How much of that is genuine? How much is rational self-preservation? Do they even know the difference?
-edit-
On a lighter note, we give lots of credit to KJI for being a despot, madman and torturer. But do we give him his dues as a filmmaker? I think not. Clips from his monster movie, Pulgasari.

-edit of the edit-
And as long as I'm piling up links and videos, here's a graphic, gruesome account (with video) of the Dear Leader's initiative: Selling citizens to Siberian labor camps (http://edition.cnn.com/2011/12/15/world/asia/north-korean-labor-camps-in-siberia/index.html). You say Gulag, I say winter wonderland!
The fact that they are brainwashed to the point of not realizing there is anything better is just utterly, utterly creepy.
That is what it looks like but I doubt they don't know something is wrong, they just can't do anything about it.
I doubt it is so peachy, given the flood of refugees which would occur if the border patrols let their guard down for a brief moment.

I mourn with such a great intensity that these people would be shamed for themselves if they saw me mourning the loss of our great overlord.
Madman, dictator, filmmaker, and most of all? Golfer (http://espn.go.com/espn/page2/index?id=7369649).
The greatest golfer in history is gone.
North Korean dictator/superstar golfer Kim Jong-Il has died at 69 -- a fitting age, because 69 is under par on every regulation golf course.
Kim shot 38 under, including 11 holes-in-one, at the 7,700-yard championship course at Pyongyang in the VERY FIRST golf round of his life, according to North Korean state media. This was in 1994, when Kim was 52 years old. Even more impressive, Kim stood just 5-foot-3, yet he was able to overpower a course as long as any ever played in major championship history. Who knows how good Kim could have been if he had taken up the sport earlier? Who knows how many times he bested 38 under in the 17 years since his first round?
What we do know is that no matter how many more majors Tiger Woods does or doesn't win, the debate of Tiger vs. Jack is really an argument about who is the second-best golfer in history.

The day of this Horrible Event I felt a Great Emptiness before I even learned the news of the Supreme Leader's passing. Later that night, I saw a New Bright Star appear in the sky as the Great One ascended into the heavens.
Nevermind, it was just a drone shooting a rocket into Pakistan.
