How obliging of Kim Jong-Il to do this. The potential cost of any necessary future PR campaign against him is depreciating fast. If the markets offered "North Korea futures", this sure wouldn't be driving the price up.
I suppose Kim will top this feat by climbing some battlements near the DMZ and shouting "Your mother was a hampster, and your father smelled of elderberries!" toward Seoul.
Keep up the good work, Kim! All the world loves a blustery tin-pot dictator to pick on.
The world does indeed love dictators. As long as they are anti US and anti Western values.
