Something is going on in North Korea, but nobody knows exactly what. Portraits of Kim Jong-il have been taken down from some (but not all) public places. The official Nork news agency denies that any have been taken down, though this is contradicted by several reports.
His favorite mistress just died, and he is said to be in mourning. Offical television and radio braodcasts from North Korea appear to be toning down the honorifics they use when uttering his sacred name.
Some speculate that Kim is deliberately downplaying the cult of his own personality, in an effort to begin reforming. Others speculate that this may be a sign of unrest, probably within the North Korean military, the only possible meaningful source of opposition innthat land completely dominated by the two-generation Kim Dynasty. So far, the official website of North Korea shows no change in the side-by-side alingnment of the two generations.
Meanwhile Roger L. Simon jests that Team America: World Police's mockery of Kim had something to do with these moves. On the other hand, considering that Kim is such a devoted fan of films that he built his own movie studio and kidnapped South Korea's leading director and his actress wife to teach him the business, maybe Roger is not completely off-base.

First Hussein. Now Kim.
Oh, behave.
I think it would be great if N. Korea imploded peacefully(mostly) just like the East Europeans did. That would be 3 countries knocked off under Bush + Libya giving it up.
Eeeeeeeuw!
