Geez, Kim Jong-Il looks like he's about to keel over

[liberalpragmatist]

This is an image from North Korean state media:



Here's an earlier image for comparison:



And his official portrait:



And he's only 67.

1. What happened?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

3. The hair -

without product, well, that look just does not work for him.

SERIES, though, he's looking bad. Sick. Cancer, maybe?

[givemebackmycountry]

5. He had a stroke last year -

When he kicks the bucket, things will get REAL interesting in Lil' Kim's world.

I think they are plum out of "Dear Leader" stock are they not?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

12. Oh, I think it'll probably be a lot like

Iraq once we're out of there. A total power-grab crapshoot.

And not pretty, in either place.

I like that - "Lil' Kim."

:toast:

2. Really? Wow, I would not have thought that was the same man

I would have thought it was a parent of his, that's how much older and frail he looks

[cobalt1999]

4. I guess the rumors that he has been sick are true.

That's not a healthy looking 67 year old.

[OhioChick]

6. Wow.....He does look rather frail and sickly. n/t

[Vogon_Glory]

7. He doesn't look healthy, does he? n/t

[Historic NY]

8. So if he doesn't make 68 what do we end up with?

[Wiley50]

9. I think Kim Jong is Very ILL

That man is getting eaten up with cancer

stroke, my ass

[Tangerine LaBamba]

14. Agreed ...........

He's wasting.

Could be AIDS, too. I mean, I wonder what medical care is like in N. Korea, and there's no word that he's traveled anywhere for treatment, right? I mean, if a member of the Saudi Royal Family burps, they're at the Mayo Clinic in hours. This guy, it's gonna be interesting ...........................

10. He looks like something that teaches young men to lift rocks with their minds.

In the middle of a swamp.

[Canuckistanian]

11. Looks like he's been rode hard and put away wet

Or maybe he's on the Richard Simmons "Deal A Meal" diet and went too far.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. He's decomposing. Soon he'll be reduced to this ......

[JI7]

15. he looks like shit ,hopefully he is gone soon, but then again

i heard his son is a bigger asshole than he is.

[tekisui]

16. And, no one knows who his successor will be, or how they will be named

It will likely be his son, but no one is certain.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

17. Looks to be

cancer all right.
