Kim Jong Il's Weirdo Son

So Kim Jong Il, North Korea's leader and the worlds favorite despot, died over the weekend. And now his son gets to take over, but he's lookin' like a softie.

Real frightening
From Huffington Post:
TOKYO — With the abrupt death of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, the fate of his isolated, nuclear-armed regime has dropped into the hands of his youngest son, Kim Jong-un, who is such an unknown that the world did not even know for sure what he looked like until last year. 

But the biggest enigma may be whether the younger Mr. Kim will be able to hold onto power in this last bastion of hard-line Communism, much less prevent its impoverished economy from collapsing.
For now, the reclusive regime is acting true to form, offering few clues as to what, if any, changes the death of the dictator could bring. 

It does, however, appear to be offering the first glimmers of an answer to one question that has long dogged North Korea watchers: whether the powerful military and other parts of the nation’s small, privileged ruling elite would go along with the Kim family’s ambitions to extend its dynastic rule to a third generation. 

Within hours of the announcement on Monday of his father’s death, North Korea’s ruling Workers Party released a statement calling on the nation to unite “under the leadership of our comrade Kim Jong-un.”

Wikipedia tells me this dude is 27? The fuck? He looks about 14. Which is pretty fucking scary if you ask me. Looks like a child, probably is used to having kids put to death when they make fun of him. Not a good combination.

Add to that running a country that sucks balls, the only reason their military is strong is because the only way to get fed in North Korea is to join the army. You think they'll follow that goofball into a world war? Doubtful.

All the same, a dude with an inferiority complex and a baby face with a huge army and missiles and shit at his fingertips, fucking sweet. I mean at least his pops was just a crazy movie buff who ran his mouth.
