North Korea ‘uses doubles to hide death of Kim’

Now, the expert claims, the actors are brought on stage whenever required to persuade the masses that Kim is alive. ...

We must call their bluff and send in Tiger Woods to prove who is the dear leader once and for all!

I’ve heard this a few times now from what I would consider fairly reliable sources.
Karl Rove pulling strings for the CIA perhaps?

What’s the big deal? I’m a double. I was a loser before. Thought I’d trade up. I’m not doing much better, but it’s okay.

That was obviously(?) a joke.
Or an attempt at one...
I hope if we had a puppet gov’t in there,
we’d take better care of the people.

Wouldn’t having substitutes make it riskier for getting assassinated by one’s inner circle?

Actually no, he came to the US and has been volunteering
as an Obama foreign policy advisor and bowling instructor.

Pete Steele of Type O Negative wrote a song called “Halloween in Heaven”.

Here is the interesting part of the lyrics:

Bonham on drums, Entwistle on bass as guest morticians
Bon Scott on vox, Rhoads just for kicks, on guitar Hendrix
Lennon sits in with his friend George but where is Morrison?

I am [proudly] one of those “cranks” who believes he is NOT dead.
