Comments on Kim Jong Il - the Great Media Man
Groan... if only they handled Olympics publicity here with the same retro-kitsch style, they would kill many, many birds with the same stone!
ha ha ha, that's great! i love songunblog!
the almighty Kim...
What an embarrassing reminder for Chinese people ...
You idiot, Kim Jong Il is Korean, not Chinese!
It is the first time that I see a president who cares about a newspaper layout and a visual grid system.
Made no mistake here, sam.
Kim Jong Il is Korean, but you would know what I mean if you find the similarity btw him and the Great Helmsman of China(dressing style, gesture, body language). In many ways, NK is a miniature China, only 40 years ago.

Based on my guess of his actual age when he was filmed, he was not yet the president, but surely he knew daddy would let him be, so better learn something to get ready.
