Why Kim Jong-Un is Immortal

Via Meme Generator

The new "Outstanding Leader" looks much like his forever alone lasting grandfather Kim Il-Sung and, of course, his eternal "Dear Leader" father Kim Jong-Il. So part of it all is based on natural genetics. But here is the real reason why Kim Jong-Un survived yesterday's assassination attempt and showed the world how he is, in fact, an immortal warrior of the celestial sun:

In a similar style of protest art first seen by Tokyo's Chim↑Pom‬, Japan's famous graphic designer, illustrator and film director Makoto Wada recently exhibited his own anti-nuclear poster. And apparently this has created quite a backlash within Japan's social media networks.

Hong Kong Face Slimmer Demo Video

In this short Hong Kong Face Slimmer Demo Video, Hsiao Mi shows how to use this 2-in-1 face-lift and thin neck roller. This manual roller device is much easier to use than the Japanese mouthpiece face slimmer. The mouthpiece model requires one to get into a bathtub, put the slimmer in their mouth and then repeat all of the Japanese vowels "a i u e o" 『あ い う え お』 over and over for three (3) minutes a day everyday for the rest of one's life.

Nope.

This one is much easier to use.

This hand-held wheel type slimmer doesn't require any talking nor getting into a bathtub as one should just simply roll it around their face for about 10 minutes or so each night. It also costs less and while using it one can relax and watch TV at the same time. Apparently by doing this one can lift up their face and thin out those horrible double chins. Check out how Hsiao Mi starts using it when she says "Look Me":

North Korean Version of "Take on Me"

Unless you've been living in the DPRK, you probably have seen or heard about some kind of strange and funny North Korean videos. Most of the time they feature young kids playing and singing traditional folk tunes or patriotic songs. But now all the way from the Kum Song School in Pyongyang, we have a group of accordion students playing A-Ha's big 80s hit "Take on Me":



This performance is a part of "The Promised Land" project by director and artist Morten Traavik. You can read more about this production at Traavik.info Creative Intelligence Agency and at Barents Spektakel 2012.

UPDATE: Some readers have already written in and Anna from Tokyo wrote: "Didja notice how the phone rang immediately after they finished the song? Probably it was the new Best Kim (aka "The Young-Un" and "Kim Jong Iliberace")

Kim Jong Iliberace


demanding their immediate arrest and incarceration for playing that "foreign devil's music."

We also have an update from the almighty Taro, the lame who says "Japan is always better than Korea! See irrefutable proof":





And, obviously, that is correct as everyone knows that the Japanese are superior to all other humans. But don't forget that Pyongyang North Korea is ‘better’ than Tokyo!

Why, China Why? Because China #3

In our first "Because China" post we featured a bulldozer on top of an old apartment building while demolishing it! And our favorite Japan correspondent Mr T replied "Why China"?--This is the way they built it" and cleverly referenced this photo. And that reply did speak volumes.

But now we have another inexplicable "Because China" photo that once again begs the question "Why China, Why?"

Why, China Why? Because China #3.

Any ideas at all are greatly appreciated.
