Top 10 Crazy Facts About Kim Jong Il
Listverse posted this on their website back in May of 2010, and I thought I'd share it with you since Kim Jong Il passed away yesterday. The first 5 facts are actually "lies" and not "facts" that Kim led his people to believe. The world knows Kim Jong Il was big on brainwashing his people.
The “Fact”: He had a supernatural birth
According to North Korean historical literature, Kim Jong Il was born in a log cabin inside a secret base on Korea’s most sacred mountain, Mt. Paekdu. At the moment of his birth, a bright star lit up the sky, the seasons spontaneously changed from winter to spring, and rainbows appeared. This contradicts way less interesting Western accounts of his birth, which state the dictator was born in a guerilla camp in Russia, while his father was on the run from the Japanese.
9 - Fashion Forward
The “Fact”: He is a fashion trendsetter
According to North Korea’s newspaper Rodong Sinmun, Kim Jong Il’s iconic style has become a global phenomenon. The inspired look of his zipped up khaki tunics with matching pants has been spreading across the world, an obvious testament to his outstanding image and influence. The paper didn’t mention the popularity of the 4 inch platform shoes Kim wears, but his oversized shades definitely seem to be a big hit with the women of Hollywood.
8 - Loved the World Over
The “Fact”: The world loves him
According to state-run media, Kimg Jong Il is the most prominent statesman in the present world, and people in countries the whole planet over celebrate his birthday with films and festivals. In reality, most nations are confused by his erratic foreign policy decisions on important issues such as N. Korea’s nuclear program.
7 - Ratburgers
The “Fact”: He invented the hamburger
Since any American influences have long since been banned in his tiny communist country, Kim Jong Il had no choice but to create some new non-Western food by himself. North Korean newspaper Minju Joson reported that Kim Jong Il invented a new sandwich called “double bread with meat” in an attempt to provide “quality” food to university students. He then built a plant capable of mass hamburger production to feed his students and teachers, despite the fact that the majority of his citizens battle famine on a daily basis.
6 - Golfing Glory
The “Fact”: He is the best natural golfer in history
In 1994, it was reported by Pyongyang media outlets that Kim Jong Il shot 38 under par on a regulation 18-hole golf course – including 5 holes in one! That score is 25 shots better than the best round in history, and is made even more amazing by the fact that it was his first time playing the sport. It’s said Kim Jong Il would routinely sink 3 or 4 holes in one per round of golf, and – lucky for the PGA – he has since given it up.
5 - Addiction
The Fact: If he gets addicted to a drug, everyone else does too
According to a book written by one of Kim Jong Il’s ex-staff members, he was once injured by falling off his horse when it slipped on loose rocks. He was afraid of becoming addicted to the painkillers that his doctors prescribed him, so he had members of his administrative staff injected daily with the same dosages he had to take. He did this so he wouldn’t be the only one hooked on the drug.
4 - In the Movies
The Fact: He once kidnapped a prominent director to film a Godzilla ripoff for him
Shin Sang-ok, a South Korean filmmaker, was kidnapped by Kim Jong Il, sent to prison, and eventually forced to make a film called Pulgasari that was basically a communist propaganda version of Godzilla. After Shin and his wife managed to escape North Korea while location scouting in Austria, Kim Jong Il shelved Pulgasari and all of Shin’s other work. Kim Jong Il has since given specific instruction to his Ministry of Culture and his communist filmmakers: “Make more cartoons.”
3 - Hitler Much?
The Fact: He had disabled and short people deported from his capital
In preparation for the World Festival of Youth and Students in 1989, Kim Jong Il had disabled residents removed from Pyongyang. The government also distributed pamphlets advertising a wonder drug that would increase the height of short people. Those who responded to the pamphlets were sent away to different uninhabited islands along with the disabled in an attempt to rid the next generation of their supposedly substandard genes.
2 - Great Booze
The Fact: At one time was the world’s biggest buyer of Hennessy
For a few years in the early 1990s, it was confirmed by Hennessy that Kim Jong Il was it’s best customer, spending about $600,000 to $850,000 annually on the liquor. He is partial to the Paradis cognac, which can sell for over $700 per bottle. In comparison, the average North Korean makes about $1000 per year.
The Fact: He maintains a city that was built just to be looked at
Kijong-Dong is a propaganda city that was originally built in the 1950s by Kim Jong Il’s father right on the border, this was to display the North’s superiority to the South and also to encourage people to defect. It has no actual residents, but an extensive effort has been put forth to simulate a functioning city, including lights on set timers, and street sweepers to create an illusion of activity. The use of modern telescopes has revealed that the units lack window glass, and some buildings are just concrete shells that don’t even have interior rooms. The city also houses the world’s largest flagpole, complete with a 300lb. North Korean flag.
North Korea’s pint-sized dictator was a master of propaganda and social manipulation, but he also apparently suffered from insecurity, delusion, and severe OCD. Here are 10 “facts” about Kim Jong Il, as reported by the media. The word “facts” is in quotes because the first 5 on the list are examples of propaganda that Kim Jong Il uses to brainwash his citizens into maintaining his almost god-like image. The last 5 are actual facts.
10 - Supernatural

Jonny McGovern Releases Another Gay Music Video - Dickmatized
So we have two openly gay rappers who love to make music videos featuring really hot guys. And when I mean hot, I mean hot. I'm sure you remember the music video, "Likin' Big Dicks" by Jonny McGovern that I posted back in August. Definitely NSFW, but extremely hot.
And I'm sure you remember Cazwell, wanting to show us his "Ice Cream Truck," and wanted some "Money Back" for it.
This time Johnny shoots hoops instead of playing soccer. He and his "homo-homies" have a little bit of fun checking out his competition - hotties in low-rise shorts showing off their perfect bodies. What's not to like?

Homophobia Sucks!
I believe I posted this on Facebook a couple of years ago, but I'm not quite sure. In either case, now is a perfect time as any to re-post it. Our friends, family or people you may have seen or read about on the news have all faced homophobia in one form or another. I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson"
If you guessed, Matthew Shepard, you're right.
Feel free to read the rest, they're sad, but very true.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. (yes, this actually happened)
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didnt have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends im a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.
I am the gay male student that had to switch to another high school on my senior year, because I told my teachers that I was gay. One said that I was going to hell the other wanted to cure me.
Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 16 - Whites Only
In this day and age, are people really this stupid? Really? What would drive a landlord of an apartment complex to post a sign titled, "Public Swimming Pool: White Only"?
Ignorance is what I'd say. But not for Michael Gunn, a tenant from the same complex. He wasn't having any of that. He filed discrimination charges within a matter of days, and had this to say...
Source [abc news]
Oh... that's okay Ms. Hein of Cincinnati. "It's a historical sign". LOL , she said this after she was asked about the sign.“We invited my daughter, who is African-American, to visit and swim in the pool for the Memorial Day weekend,” Gunn wrote in his complaint. “The owner, Jamie Hein, accused my daughter of making the pool ‘cloudy’ because she used chemicals in her hair. Days later, she posted a sign on the gate to the pool which reads, ‘Public Swimming Pool, White Only.’”
"I'm not a bad person, I don't have any problem with race at all. It's a historical sign."
“I’ve never said anything to that child,” Hein said. “If I have to stick up for my white rights, I have to stick up for my white rights. It goes both ways.”Oh yeah, she's not racist, she's just sticking up for her white rights.

Laugh of the Day: Guess [NSFW]
Okay, it's time for your laugh of the day, and this will definitely make you laugh. Be aware this is NSFW, because of a few vulgar words, but it's absolutely hilarious. I know I really shouldn't say anything to offend the ladies, but you know this shit happens. You know you tell your husbands or boyfriends to "guess" what's new or different about them, and the husband has to guess at it until he tells you, or he'll be facing some serious consequences. Am I right, or am I wrong? OMG, this is hilarious!

Must Watch: United States Air Force Tells United States Army, "I'm Sexy and I Know It"
This video was made by Six Star Productions for the upcoming Army game. It was deemed by wing staff as "too inappropriate to play for the cadet wing", but I didn't think so :-)This is a tribute to banned spirit videos everywhere....
Members of the US Air Force do a fabulous job dancing, working out, taking off their clothes, but most importantly, lip-synching to LMAO's, "Sexy and I Know It.". Well...
Scratch that. Taking off their clothes was the most important. LOL.
