Kim Jong-un or Dennis Rodman...no. no definitely Kim Jong-un. Never mind...just read.

So my girl Renée posted a status today wondering if anyone else found Kim Jong-un bone-chillingly frightening. I never thought about it but yes, yes he is (in a spoiled brat " My weapons of mass destruction are bigger than your weapons of mass destruction" kind of way). Unless you see a political cartoon of him dancing Gangnam Style that you can't get out of your head which makes you laugh (http://www.latimes.com/opinion/topoftheticket/la-na-tt-pudgy-punk-20130402-story.html). Speaking of funny when I did a google search the little bio that pops up of him gave me 5 other people that others had also searched. Kim Jong-il (dead father...check), Kim Il-sung (equally dead grandfather...check), Ri Sol-ju (not dead spouse...check), Kim Jong-nam (brother who also happens to not be dead....check), Dennis Rodman (tattooed basketball playing American....ch..huh?) Apparently because of his recent trip to N.Korea Rodman is now an unofficial ambassador of peace between the US and NK (in his head).

First of all his picture nestled amongst the Asians kind of cracked me up. It reminded me of Sesame Street's "One of these things is not like the others....one of these things doesn't belong..." Second of all I had to then Google Rodman and his trip to NK. I really enjoyed reading his thoughts on the Supreme Leader. “Kim’s not talking about war. Have you seen him talk about going to war? He wants to talk peace — he is serious about that…If he wanted to start a war he would have done it already.”

Really Dennis? Really? Back in January didn't North Korea issue a statement saying that the US was a "sworn enemy of the Korean people" and just a few days after you got back from your vacation of rubbing elbows with Kim Jong-un his government declared they were in 'a state of war' with South Korea. I read somewhere a fan (cough cough) said that Rodman was a real life Forrest Gump who will bumble his way through history. Couldn't agree more.....


Oh and can someone please explain to me why Kim Jong-un's nickname appears to be longer than his actual name? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a nickname?
