Jag har alltid undrat om det är utav ren rädsla eller utav solidaritet man tror på personlighetskulten som cirkulerar Kim Jong-il.
Exempelvis tros Kim Jong-il vara världens bästa försäljare samt att hans födelsedag firas runt om i världen.
Citat:
According to state media, Kim was regarded as the world’s greatest statesman. Government channels claimed his birthday was celebrated across the globe and nations screened films and held festivals in his honour.
KJ-il tros också uppfunnit hamburgaren men har istället döpt om det till "dubbelbröd med kött"
Citat:
American-style fast food was not welcome in Kim’s North Korea, but the newspaper Minju Joson once reported that the leader had invented his own hamburger-like sandwich called “double bread with meat”.
The culinary innovation was devised to appease poor students in need of healthy food and mass produced by a manufacturing plant Kim had built specifically for the sandwich.

I hoppas att Nordkorea en dag faller så att vi kan få dessa påståenden bevisade eller motbevisade.
