North Korea trys its hand at graphic design
Posted by Neocon in North Korea, fauxtographyWhen I originally made this post, I couldn’t have dreamed how right I was.
In a bid to end speculation that Kim Jong Il had suffered a stroke, North Korean officials released a new picture of the “Dear Leader” in apparently good health. But is the image genuine?
A Times Online reader with an eye for detail has pointed out that there is something shady about the shadows in the picture.
A close inspection of the photograph published yesterday by the Korean Central News Agency suggests that the shadow cast by Mr Kim is very different to those cast by the soldiers standing alongside him.
I’d still really like to know who is running that country right now, and how they’re going to test Barack Obama once he gets into office. That isn’t a criticism of the Messiah, I’m willing to give him a chance on it, but I hope to hell that his team is paying attention.
It’s always been a mistake to trust and/or attempt to verify with the North Koreans. John Bolton, whose wisdom knows not the bounds of mere mortal facial hair, wrote an open letter to Barry earlier this week that is worth a read. Plus any excuse to repost my old parodies is always going to be taken.
