het hele volk wordt geleerd/gebrainwashed om op elkaar te letten, en dat niemand te vertrouwen is, dus iedereen daar doet zn best om een goede noord koreaanse burger te zijn, want als je een fout maakt dan kan je buurman je aangeven en verdwijnt je hele familie in strafkampen
Gebeurd hier ook: Burgernet, 0800 NSBR om je buren aan te geven voor wat dan ook, zeg je de magische woorden: Wapens, Terrorisme, Weed en Kinderporno en de voordeur word in getrapt. Maar goed het is hier dan ook weer net wat anders, betere pr enzo.
OT: Die kerel was echt batshit insane, de website Cracked.com heeft meerdere atrikelen aan hem gewijd. Daarvan kan je hier onder enkele quotes lezen:
zes wereldleiders en hun geheime hobbies
Considering we once wrote an entire article about the wacky things Kim Jong Il does, you could probably guess who was going to be at this spot. And we didn't even mention the (true) fact that among his movie collection you find lots of both James Bond and Daffy Duck, or the fact that he imports over $700,000 of Congac a year.
But it's his love for basketball that puts him on this list. Kim Jong Il's favorite player is, of course, Michael Jordan, and that makes sense. They've basically been in a media blackout since the mid-90s, they're probably just now getting Space Jam.
He's such a fan of Jordan's, in fact, that he owns a VHS recording of every single game he played with the Bulls. He's even invited Michael to North Korea for a meeting and a friendly game or two but. Perhaps not approving of North Korea's controversial "Kidnap Everybody Kim Jong Il Thinks is Amusing" policy, Jordan declined. When Secretary of State Madeleine Albright visited North Korea in 2000, she gave him a basketball signed by Mr. Jordan. A nice gesture, to be sure. For anybody else, that gets put right on the mantle. For Kim Jong Il, that ball gets displayed in the Museum of International Understanding, which he built.
For the ball.
Kim is so obsessed with basketball that he wants to turn North Korea into a national basketball powerhouse, and is constantly bringing in coaches to give seminars on the fundamentals of basketball, and he's had regulation basketball courts built at every one of his palaces.
But that's all pretty tame, it's just missing that trademark Kim Jong twist... and here it is: It's not the basketball you're thinking of; Kim "invented" the game we're talking about. The main difference between the basketball you know and Kim's version is the scoring system: Three points for a dunk, four points for a three pointer that touches nothing but the net, negative one point for missing a free throw, and eight points for a shot in the last three seconds.
zes redenen waarom Noord Korea de leukste dictatuur is

They Made Their Own Godzilla Movie... at Gunpoint
The Problem:
Sometime in the late 70s, a young, scrappy Kim Jong-il was kicking around his palace, totally bummed out. "Why doesn't everyone on Earth love our glorious state?" he must have wondered. "Why doesn't everyone want to be a part of it?" As he surveyed the dirt poor, militarily controlled North Korea, he must have deduced that it was because of a lack of film.
A film buff himself, Kim Jong-il has actually authored a text-book on the subject, a title that is required reading for all film students who are actually CIA agents. Thus, Kim decided that he was just going to have to create great North Korean cinema himself. . .
The Ridiculous Solution:
. . .By kidnapping a famous director and his recently estranged actress wife from South Korea, and forcing them to make, amongst other things, the communist version of Godzilla.
Shin Sang-ok and Choi Eun-Hee were initially jailed by North Korea for four-years prior to being asked to make movies by Kim Jong-il, who explained that he had been delayed because "things were busy at the office." We imagine that this was because of all the other kidnapped people who were ahead of them in line.
Pulgasari, presumably made because Godzilla was not kitschy enough, is the charming story of a monster originally created "for the people" who eventually turns on them after being corrupted by greed and capitalism. Which seems bizarre, until you remember that the people who made this were mostly being fed grass.
It was not released until 1998, when a Japanese critic, most likely snickering, encouraged North Korea to release it, claiming that it could be a source of income, as well as a chance to screen an unheralded work.
Wait, it Gets Worse...
Ironically, the reported story of Shin and Choi would have made a fucking unbelievable film. They were kidnapped, tried to escape, failed, were placed in solitary for years, thought the other to be dead, discovered the other was alive after being brought to the most Idi Amin-esque dinner party ever, were then forced to make films and then fell back in love, before finally making a dramatic escape (including a taxi chase!) in Vienna.

Kim referred to Coca-Cola as the "cesspool water of American capitalism" and told his people that he invented the hamburger. He even built a hamburger factory, saying "I've made up my mind to feed quality bread and french fries to university students, professors and researchers even if we are in (economic) hardship." Go back and read that sentence again.
And according to North Korean news sources, Kim is the greatest golfer in the history of existence. He routinely finishes 38 under par, and he averages four or five holes-in-ones per game. He is rumored to spend $350,000 a year on brandy. He claims to have been born in a log cabin, his birth marked by the appearance of a double rainbow.
He is said to travel with a pack of beautiful women he refers to as his "Pleasure Squad." One witness says he's a huge fan of James Bond films but thinks they are documentaries.
