North Koreans poured into the streets on Monday to mourn the death of iron leader Kim Jong-il as state media hailed his untested son as the "Great Successor" of the reclusive state whose atomic weapons ambitions are a major threat to the region.
Sadly, Kim the Middle died in his bed. Reportedly, Kim Jong-Un's nickname, "Great Successor", can also be translated as "Hung from Lamp Post."
Kim Jong-Un announced that each family will get a grain of rice to celebrate the happy occasion of the new leader taking charge of the pile of dung that the elder and middle Kims bequeathed the last Kim.
We shall see if the North Korean armed forces and security apparatus can hold together with The Un in charge.
