Kim Jong Il Jokes
I was looking around and stumbled across these jokes a while ago and didn't understand a lot of them but now that the class is complete, comprehension is a little more complete. See what you guys think.
It is interesting that almost all of these jokes contain the stereotypes of Kim Jong il that we were discussing in class - that he is a madman, child like, a sexual deviant and basically just out of touch with the world. Obviously since they are jokes they are not meant to be taken seriously at all, but it seems like there is a disconnect with trying to tie Kim Jong Il to an actual human being rather than this "thing" that he is seen as.
