The Big Picture run by the Boston Globe should be one of your favourite photo slideshow links. Their latest is pretty awesome. It's thirty-one state-approved pictures of dictator Kim Jong Il of North Korea.

Seen individually each photo is pretty jaw droppingly boring. See Kim Jong Il looking at pork. See him look at iron bars. See him look at fish. But see it this way, just quickly skim through the whole thing. It's a mind-knumbing blur. If he wasn't a corrupt dictator who has kept his people in the dark ages under his iron grip for decades while living the high life I might even feel sorry for what looks like an endless series of visits to drab events.

Scratch that. He deserves to rot.

Take a look, please!
