Kim Jong Il Picks Un-Successor

North Korea is an enigma wrapped in a mystery veiled in secrecy, mostly thanks to the efforts of their megelomaniacal dictator, Kim Jong Il and his father before him. Aside from his notable collection of stellar shades, Kim Jong Il is best known for his prowess as the most tyranical dictator on the planet, a title one imagines he gladly represents. As the good dictator is in the twilight of his fear-inducing career, he has been vetting his youngest son, Kim Jong Eun to take over his reign of terror when he is gone. The Eun one has been made general of the vast, yet technologically devoid North Korean army, and will likely be appointed leader/dictator/secretary of terror once his pops finally kicks the bucket. The good people at NMA put together this humorous animation so the world can better understand the vetting process in North Korea - looks like they don't think much of the "great leader" either...

PS If you still aren't convinced North Korea is the strangest place on the planet, check the VBS Documentary on North Korea. It's sad yet humorous, and might be the most comprehensive journalism done on the subject - even CNN defers to Vice's Shane Smith in matters of Kim Jong Il's renegade nation. No, seriously...
