Here’s North Korean midget Kim Jong Il playing “Know Your Cuts of Meat.”
What is going on here? These are propaganda photos of the North Korean leader put out by his news agency. Apparently he goes around to these factories or whatever a few times a year for photo ops, to show how good everything’s going. (Are the North Koreans still eating human corpses to stay alive?)
What makes the Dear Leader smile? Baby shoes! Or maybe they are shoes for him. So colorful!
And here’s Lil’ Kim supervising the unpaid bloggers at the Huffington Post. “Ashton said what? Remove his blog at once!”
Tons of these pictures are collected at Boston.com’s The Big Picture.

This looks shopped, I can tell by some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my time.
Hipsters ’round the world are now trying to figure out how to get their hands on some of those North Korea sneakers.
Those trays of fetuses look delicious.
I’m roneryyyy…. so ronery….
Kim is Michael Jackson without the talent.
Is Lil Kim the only person in the country allowed to wear sunglasses.
North Korea’s news agency is doing it wrong; Kim should be holding a current newspaper if you really want to prove he’s still alive and healthy.
[re=530585]Mr Blifil[/re]: Nah, it’s Korean. Weez talkin’ Fillet Of Snoopy here.
Dog, dog, goose.
Look at the bounty! Three cheers for juche!!
JESUS CHRIST! Those are some of the uglies she-males I’ve ever seen. GAH!
[re=530591]gurukalehuru[/re]: No, Lil Kim is allowed to wear the only pair of sunglasses in North Korea.
Little known True Fact.
The Kimster lost all that weight while on the colorful shoe diet.
[re=530591]gurukalehuru[/re]: [re=530588]Birdcrash[/re]: Kim Jong Il is the Corey Hart of North Korea.
Needs moar Ari Fleischer. That guy’d get Kim some good publicity. Look what he’s doing for Tiger!
I thought politicians acted interested in the jobs of regular jack-offs just to win elections. Turns out, they genuinely like gawking at freshly-made consumer goods, just for kicks.
At least they ice the human body parts in North Korea. In other parts of the world, they have to be eaten straight out of the salt barrels.
[re=530583]frailamerica[/re]: “Just one word: Plastics”
Mr. Kim once again showing how juicy juche is!
Boy howdy, after reading that article “The Good Cook” in the New Yorker, basically a mother’s eye view of the slo-mo starvation of the people in North Korea, I don’t make fun of Lil Kim anymore. He’s a criminal of the first order, and ought to be brought to The Hague (even though I disapprove of their definite article.)
The woman at the big ass CRT looks worried that Lil Kim will notice she has Minesweeper minimized.
Are these stills from the next Bond movie?
Pic #1 Dialogue
Lil Kim: “Is this it?”
Official 1: “Yes Dear Leader, this is it. That’s all the meat in North Korea unless you count the Soylent…”
Official 2: “Shut up. Soylent Green is just soy and lentils. No people, we swear!”
Pic #2: This year’s production quota of “long pig” Leather footwear.
[re=530591]gurukalehuru[/re]:
Look, if YOU could be the only one in the country allowed to wear sunglasses, would that be cool, or what?
[re=530603]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: He lost it on the “Sole Food Diet”, a shitty North Korean knock-off of the popular South Korean “Seoul Food Diet”.
He seems to delight in brightly colored objects, like the shoes and that red bucket at the Kangdong Light Electrical Appliance Factory.
[re=530613]Come here a minute[/re]: Are you kidding? Minesweeping is probably the MOST useful thing she could be practicing on that thing. Now solitare…that’s another story. That’ll get you lined up in front of the firing squad.
[re=530604]Extemporanus[/re]: He wanted to show a tribute to the memory of Corey Haim, and no one had the heart to tell him he had mixed up his 80s American celebrities (mostly because correcting him would mean being electrocuted, to the death).
Lil Kim’s hat is quite simply baller.
The only other person who wears a muff on his head with more penache is John Edwards.
Just imagine the Leader buck naked giving some pregnant blonde head. Doesn’t it make him human?
[re=530587]Golfing OJ[/re]: I probably shouldn’t be laughing like a jackass at this, still, five minutes later, but…
Looking at stuff DOES make them better! And North Korea isn’t in a recession, so suck it Western non-lookers.
[re=530625]JMP[/re]: North and south Corey? Uh…
[re=530625]JMP[/re]: Worse than that: 1980s Canadian celebrities.
On the bright side, now that the avg North Korean is six inches shorter than his southern counterpart, the tunnels under the DMZ don’t have to be nearly as tall.
They seem February 18 to have an inordinate June 1956 fondness for inserting July 18th dates randomly into the caption texts February 12th.
That reminds me to never eat at Arby’s.
[re=530636]snideinplainsight[/re]: I’ve always wanted to visit the October 7 Pig Farm myself.
3rd pic: Look Comrade Kim, we’ve finally managed to decipher the West’s sinister computer language “Basic.”
[re=530612]snideinplainsight[/re]: [re=530618]ManchuCandidate[/re]: I was thinking the same thing:
“Fearless leader, here is our entire agricultural, industrial, and technological output for 2009: 50 chickens, 45 pairs of shoes and 2 computer monitors. The five-year plan is a success!!!!”
[re=530627]nappyduggs[/re]: Oh Nappy.
There are simply not enough pictures of that adorable Kim Jong Il on “I Can Has Cheezburger”:
http://cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=3295227904
Looking at those pictures of North Korean offices and factories, I’m struck by the thought I’ve not seen anything so cold, lifeless, and out of touch with reality since the last time I looked at a photo of Dick Cheney.
[re=530648]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: That is actually quite an accomplishment given that the computers do not appear to have keyboards.
[re=530633]the problem child[/re]: But Canada’s part of America (as they’re quick to remind us US-ers whenever we use “American” to refer to USians only).
What’s with the shades? Is he a member of the Roy Orbison fan club or something?
WARNING: Do not attempt to comment in Korean or Ken Jong Il will eat your comment.
Elwood: It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.
Donald Duck hat and ’80s monitors. So futurama for N. Korea.
My favorite has to be the flour-processing combine, no wait the Fishery Enterprise, fer reals this time the Foodstuff Factory (“is this some quality urine or what??”).
Anyway, there’s some much more interesting pictures (IMO) under Holi 2010.
Needs more incredibly brightly tinted footwear.
For Sale: Baby shoes, Never used.
[re=530648]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: BASIC? Heck, they’re still working on FORTRAN. On CGA monitors.
I thought everyone was starving over there eating nothing but rice husks and the occasional dog. Is there dog on those trays?
Is the guy in the back taking Kim’s order? (I would like dog haunches rare, please. And bring my tea with the meal if you want a tip.)
If Kim Jong Il’s insane regime didn’t exist, it would be necessary for the NYT and the Republican Party to invent it, to spread the memes that “socialism = mass starvation”. If there were no North Korea, we’d have to look at Cuba, where people are poor, but generally cruisy with their cigars and rum and vodka and cheap oil from Venezuela and free health care and nice weather when there are no hurricanes.
[re=530663]King of the Dipshits[/re]: They don’t need keyboards. The app they’re running just uses the mouse. There’s a large red button that activates an electroshock to the user. The operator that pushes the button the most times becomes the People’s Hero For the Day, and gets 2 oz. fish and a bowl of rice. It’s called “Survivor – Protein Edition”.
[re=530769]doloras[/re]: When I was in Cuba around 12 years ago, the weather made Houston in August look positively brisk. Inside my squalid little hotel room, it seemed even hotter though I had the AC cranked to the rattling max. Trying pointlessly to find the button for 11, I noticed the label on the side of the unit: Hecho en CCCP.
I didn’t expect much from it after that.
On those trays are the entire food production of No. Korea.
And it all goes into Kim’s fridge.
Photo #17
fifth fish from the bottom is a Mola Mola or Ocean Sunfish. About which has been written:
‘They have no value as food fish; the flesh is soft and insipid, and this
and the gut are frequently infested with worm cysts’.
Yum!!
Given what we know of Kim, I’m surprised that he doesn’t have a knock-off Paul Schaeffer follow him around to constantly play theme music.
[re=530613]Come here a minute[/re]: Minesweeper is probably the only game that’s allowed.
[re=530945]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: Mainly cuz Kim got pwned on “Farmville”
Sadly, My boyfriend and I broke up a month ago. yeah.. i’m young ,beautiful,lonely and still hurting.i need someone to love ….Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site- I EAT POOP , a nice and free place for Older Men, or Older Women to eat poop and Younger Men, to- interact with each other. is it wrong?
I thought the first picture was the Young Republicans at a steak night.
Pic #3: “Soylent Kimchi is people!”
[re=530659]King of the Dipshits[/re]: I was thinking he could be on the front page of LATFMD (Look at This Fucking Megalomaniacal Dictator.com).
Ret’s see…is it frank steak? Blisket?
I got a really cool hat and my homies agree they look good in black.
Ten bucks says that the shrubs out in front of the factory were painted green.
[re=531080]ivenson[/re]: Definitely not rack of ramb..
[re=531112]That Evening Sun[/re]: Yes, with read-based paint. How ilonic!
“You made this many chop out of Hans Brix!?”
Everybody around Lil Kim looks nervous. Pencil me in as a friend, Dear Leader. At least until i can get the hell out of your god-forsaken wasteland.
And it’s funny that it’s military guys showing him the trays of meat. Hmmmm.
Speaking of which, I see the NK military adopted the wacky Russian military caps — the ones that, if you turn a certain way, you can pick up signals from satellites. Handy, that.
[re=531088]guangho[/re]: “. . . Fool.”
Let’s stop now before Coolio gets upset again with Weird Al.
Reminds of the skit on the Daily Show where they did a “North Korean” version of the show:
“And now, your moment of food.”
