You know your dictatorship is flagrantly obvious when Reuters calls your parliament "rubber-stamp."
In this Korea Central News Agency photo released by Korea News Service in Tokyo, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, center, attends a parliament session, Wednesday, April 11, 2007, in Pyongyang, North Korea. North Korea replaced its prime minister Wednesday during a session of its rubber-stamp parliament, the country's state media reported. Pak Pong Ju was relieved of the premiership and replaced by Kim Yong Il, the official Korean Central News Agency reported, without giving any reasons for the shuffle. The move comes amid intense diplomacy aimed at getting North Korea to meet a Saturday deadline to shut down its main nuclear reactor under a February disarmament agreement in exchange for aid and political concessions.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Is it just me or does even the statue looks like a diminutive little troll?
Have you seen the possible statue a Polish village wants to erect? They want to rename their square from "Freedom Square" to "Ronald Reagan Freedom Square" & have a statue of the late, great president facing the former Soviet Union.
Yeah, I'd throw some $$$ their way for that!
