Kim Jong-Un "Climbs" North Korea's Highest Mountain

[JI7]

Kim Jong-Un has climbed the highest mountain in North Korea, state-run media claims.

Photos of the country's leader show him standing on a snowy mountaintop, with the sun behind him.

"Climbing Mount Paektu provides precious mental pabulum more powerful than any kind of nuclear weapon," the Rodong newspaper quoted him as saying to troops.

Recently it has been claimed that Kim could drive by the time he was three years old.

The regime also says that Kim Jong-Il, who ruled until his death in 2011, scored 11 holes-in-one the first time he ever played golf.

Earlier this year, Michael Kirby, who led a UN commission of inquiry into North Korean human rights violations, claimed to the BBC World Service that some families were even forced to use the ashes of relatives as fertiliser to help grow crops.

1. I don't typically advocate violence, but when I first saw the picture my first thought was, "Why

didn't someone just push him off this cliff?"

But I think they are so brainwashed that it would be out of the question.

6. WHAT!!! You don't believe he climbed up that mountain?????? In those shoes and coat???

[Nay]

10. Indeed. What does it say about the human race that monsters like this even

exist? I shudder to think that his genes exist.

4. He would make such a perfect pairing with The Little Chimp.

The ultimate triumphs of imbecile nepotism and the lucky sperm lottery.

8. He is so awesome

[bluedigger]

9. "mental pabulum"?

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

[JI7]

11. the article includes this line after it

"The Oxford English Dictionary defines "pabulum" as "bland or insipid intellectual matter, entertainment"."

it's like a real life comedy show almost.

17. Something lost in the translation from the Korean?

That jumped out at me, too.

12. Scaled that mountain in street clothes too.

Hell of a man.

NK's answer to Davy Crockett.

"Kilt him a bar when he was only three."

14. He didn't climb that mountain!

Everyone KNOWS ASIANS CAN FLY!!!

16. Actually, it wasn't too hard. He took the Chuck Norris route.

The mountain, realizing the awesome wonderfullness of Li'l Chubs, bowed down to let him waddle over to its summit before standing up again to elevate him on its shoulders. In appreciation, Dear Leader then farted a rainbow for the assembled multitudes, who roared with appreciation before freezing to death.

18. Amazing what you can achieve with

a photograph, fake snow and a wind machine. Done at the Pyongyang Sears maybe?

19. I smell an internet meme coming on. If that photo isn't begging to be photoshopped-

nothing is.

And what is with the non-existant railing?
