Weekend at Bernie's, North Korean Version?
Weekend at Bernie's, North Korean Version?
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il is going to be seen in the media in the weeks to come as the country tries to prove that the long-running dictator is, in fact, still alive. Rumors circulated last month that Kim had suffered a stroke and was doing badly. But like that nearly dead guy in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the North Korean government seems determined to have Kim rise up and shout "I'm not dead yet!"
Some movie producer is probably at work right now to mine the comic gold inherent in this scenario. It could be a North Korean version of "Weekend at Bernie's," with government bureaucrats propping up Kim in various public places and waving his arm to make him seem alive and in charge.
Kim (or his corpse, or an actor resembling Kim) attended a soccer match last week, the first public appearance for Kim in a month and a half.
The North Korean media said on Saturday that the maximum leader has "inspected a women's military unit," according to Reuters (more comic gold!), and images of that visit were shown on the communist nation's TV.
I wonder which actor will get to play Kim?

Lil' Kim Jong-il ... kickin' it old school!
Cool... but personally I prefer Panjabi MC for my cross-cultural genre mongering.
*cough* Generalissimo Francisco Franco *cough*
This is slightly before my time, but not by much. Generalissimo Francisco Franco, the fascist leader of Spain, died many months before the Spanish government even admitted he was dead. In fact, Saturday Night Live (1st season) used to devote time during Weekend Update to report about it.

Franco
Yeah, I vaguely remember him from when I was a kid... he seemed like a real relic from an earlier era. Hard to believe that Spain was a dictatorship so recently.
If McCain gets elected and were to pass on, I wonder how long it could be kept a secret?
Sarah Palin probably has a spot to dump the body already
Sarah Palin is dangerously ambitious and will stop at nothing to wear the mantle of POTUS. I do not believe her ego
or consciencewould allow her to play charades with the "Is he or isn't he dead" inquiring minds of the American people.DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
McCain/Palin
Jim, you'll get a chuckle out of this...
