Kim Jong Un balloons to 300 lbs as nation nears famine

[davidn3600]

Portly North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, whose hostile actions have brought crippling international sanctions to his impoverished nation, has a new message for the Hermit Kingdom’s starving masses: Get ready to eat plant roots.

Kim, whose weight the South Korean government estimates has ballooned to nearly 300 pounds, signaled through state media that the nation could be headed for another famine like the one that killed an estimated 3.5 million people in the 1990s.

“The road to revolution is long and arduous,” an editorial in the state-run Rodong Sinmun newspaper said Monday, according to The Telegraph. “We may have to go on an arduous march, during which we will have to chew the roots of plants once again.”

“Arduous march” in North Korean is code for famine. It’s how state media described the disaster that struck when Kim was a mere teen, which experts say was brought on by the economic mismanagement of his father, Kim Jong Il, loss of foreign aid and natural disasters.

2. Ridiculous

As much as I think the situation there is terrible, I have not seen a picture where he looks anywhere near 300 lbs and this is a right wing rag. I also may not be the best judge of size. I just think there is enough to criticize without falsehoods.

9. Isn't this how dictators meet their fate?

Living large (as in his case) while his people starve?

The writing may be on the wall. I wonder if he can see it?

11. I guess since he doesn't shit, there must be back up in his system.

His generals all look so happy, I wonder if they wipe his ass for him?
