First Ghaddafy, then Enrico, now this.
All the old Bad Guys are dying off, and we have nobody to replace them. There is no longer another side to defect to. I guess this is victory feels like.

We still have Commander Chubby Cheeks in North Korea.
That the problem with sole proprietorship, once the owner goes, so goes the business. This is just further proof that America™ corporations are a superior business model.

All that's left is that Kim Jung Un guy.
Everyone else is gone. :cry:
Odd that this happened the same day that Big Tex burned down. WHAT DOES IT AL MEAN? :lol:
Don't worry, we'll manufacture some more enemies.

IT'S NOT THE SAME! :cry:
We'll always have Uday.
For the record -- and I can understand the confusion here -- but Kim Jr. is not actually a member of the Ancient Bad Guys club. Like other 3rd or 4th Generation Communist Leaders, he did not actually fight in the Revolution, so he does not understand what is at stake, and lacks the grit and stamina required to maintain the iron fist. You can't replace Castro or Stalin or Mao with Mini-Kim just because he has a fancy uniform.

They won't be full of commie stink, I know. And goodness knows we spend fifty years cultivating the last setm so we'll feel a little hollow for a while. But America will get over it. We'll go on to bigger, better enemies!

Well, we've had one consistent set since the 40s.
Which would be us.

I love that one video of his, though.

Each incarnation of Kim is shorter, chubbier, and more FABULOUS than the last.
Eventually, North Korea will be led by Teddy Ruxpin.
Thats actually a hysterical image.
Kim Il Sung --> Kim Jong Il --> Kim Jong Un --> Kim Kardashian
:lulz: :lulz: :lulz:
My favorite thing about Kim Jong Un isn't that he's snappy dresser, it's that he can really bust a move.

While this is correct from the standpoint of Jong-Un not having gone through the revolution and not having been forged in those fires, I'd point out that he understands what's going on and the stakes rather well. Dude has reportedly undergone plastic surgery to make himself look more like his grandfather, Kim Il-Sun.
Which, leaving aside all the squicky feeling that makes one want to look exactly like granddad, makes perfect sense. Il-Sun is pretty much worshipped as a god, what better way to shore up your legitimacy than to make yourself into a living god. We're gonna get plenty of lulz out of that boy.

Too bad he's not going for Jong Il's troll hair.
You can't have everything, twid.
I know wont stop me from hoping though.
Fidel Castro Alive? Former Cuban President Reportedly Appears In Public (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/21/fidel-castro-alive-dead_n_1997570.html?utm_hp_ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false)

HAVANA -- HAVANA (AP) – Former Venezuelan Vice President Elias Jaua said Sunday that he met with aging revolutionary icon Fidel Castro for five hours and showed The Associated Press photos of the encounter, quashing persistent rumors that the former Cuban leader was on his deathbed or had suffered a massive stroke.
Jaua also confirmed that the 86-year-old retired Cuban president personally accompanied him to the Hotel Nacional after their meeting Saturday, in which they talked about politics, history, culture and tourism.
"He had the courtesy of bringing me to the hotel," Jaua said Sunday, adding that Castro looked "very well."
Jaua showed a photograph of himself seated in a minibus along with the former Cuban leader, Castro's wife, Dalia Soto del Valle, a hotel executive and several other people. The photo shows Jaua and Castro smiling broadly, and the former Cuban leader is wearing a checked shirt and cowboy hat.
The public appearance was Castro's first in months. A top Hotel Nacional executive told the AP earlier Sunday how Castro had dropped off the Venezuelan guest, then stayed on to chat with hotel staff.
"Fidel Castro was here yesterday, he brought a guest and spoke to workers and hotel leaders for 30 minutes," commercial director Yamila Fuster said. Fuster was not present, but hotel director Antonio Martinez is seated next to Castro in the photo shown by Jaua.
Castro's health has been the subject of intense speculation for years, but the rumors gained force in recent days after he failed to publicly congratulate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a top ally, on his Oct. 7 electoral victory. The former Cuban leader has not appeared since March, when he was shown greeting visiting Pope Benedict XVI, and he has also ceased writing his once-constant opinion pieces, the last of which appeared in June.
Twitter and other social media sites have been abuzz with claims of Castro's demise. Late last week, a Venezuelan doctor purported to have information that Castro had suffered a stroke, but the same doctor has previously claimed knowledge that turned out to be false.
Sunday's news from the Hotel Nacional appeared to be Cuba's attempt to hit back against what it says are false and malicious rumors. A letter attributed to Castro was published Thursday by Cuban state media. In it, he congratulated graduates of a medical school on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.
Two close family members of Castro have also recently denied he is in grave condition. Juanita Castro, the former leader's sister, told the AP in Miami that reports of her brother's condition are "pure rumors" and "absurd."
Son Alex Castro told a reporter for a weekly Cuban newspaper that his father "is well, going about his daily life."
Castro stepped down in 2006 following a severe illness, handing power to his brother Raul.
I'll believe it when I see pictures, but hey.
