Never before have I seen a website that manages to be at once comical and macabre, interesting and insipid at least, not until now. The blog Kim Jong-il Looking at Things is exactly that a series of photos, updated every other day, of the dear leader gazing innocuously at random things ranging from fish at a market to toys in a store. This series of seemingly random photos gives an insightful look into Kim's cult of power. Comparing older photos to more recent ones, we notice that Kim has become weaker, frailer and less cognizant over the years. Thus, by delving beneath the surface of the leader's propaganda, we can discover a world that is not quite right.
