Kim Jong-Il’s clone makes public appearance

Kim Jong-Il demonstrates the sound of one hand clapping.

Kim Jong-Il demonstrates the sound of one hand clapping.

Adding to the ongoing story of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il’s wherabouts and/or viability, North Korea released a handful of images to various press outlets purportedly showing Kim (or one of his cyborg clone impersonators) addressing troops. Kim Jong-Il has suffered a slate of health problems of late (possibly up to two strokes in the last few months, by my count) and its’ anybody’s guess as to whether or not these photos exaggerate Kim’s mobility – or his lack of morbidity.

From the AP:

The state-run Korean Central News Agency first reported the military visit late Sunday, saying Kim praised the airmen for their diligence and urged them to remain disciplined in the face of enemy “aggression.” Neither report specified when Kim made the visit or where the military unit is located.

South Korean and U.S. officials say Kim suffered a stroke in August, but North Korea denies the 66-year-old leader — who has not publicly named a successor — was ever ill.
