It is estimated that between two and three million North Koreans succumbed to starvation in Kim's first decade in power – a tenth of the population.

He definitely won't be as bad. He studied in Switzerland, speaks English, German and French. North Korea won't become a democracy anytime soon, sure, but he probably won't be the freaky asshole his father was.

If it were not for Kim Jong-Il, we would not have had the awesome Team American movie.

I trhink his rule was worth it just for inspiring that hilarious movie.

"So ronery" and "Hans Brix you're breaking my barrs"
