Kim Jong Il, the little dictator of North Korea, died while on a train December 17. Our planet may not ever be the same.
Sure, any and all dictators may have their private quirks. Muammar Gaddafi had a scrapbook filled to the brim with photos of Condoleeza Rice. Saddam Hussein most likely bred poodles and dyed them pink. And I'm sure Mahmud Ahmadinejad loves to don women's underwear and parade around in front of an audience of Barbie dolls.
But no other dictator was as openly fabulous as Kimmy boy. He loved sequens, movies and Elizabeth Taylor. Hell, he even kidnapped a director and his actor wife to make a North Korean version of Godzilla. True story.
And he didn't try and hide his love for all that glitters. He made sure the world knew he was a connoisseur of the finer things. Yes, he had a fabulous lifestyle at the cost of a nation's freedom. But isn't that the ultimate luxury? That an entire country might suffer in order for one man to have everything?
Fabulous.
It is rumored he loved to dress as Elvis in his free time. Unfortunately, I can't find any real pictures of that. But even rumors aren't founded on nothing at all. I mean, look at J. Edgar Hoover. I bet that red dress really is out there somewhere.
Sadly, with the passing of Kim, the world will no doubt lose a portion of hilarity. Hopefully his son can fill his wacky shoes. Rest in pieces, Kim Jong Il.
