Kim Jong-Il fulfills lifelong wish to become a bronze statue

Just in time to honor his 70th birthday (on Valentines Day by some accounts), a clearly representative sample of the North Korean population was at hand to unveil a new bronze statue immortalizing the dear leader upon his trusty steed.  He appears riding alongside his father, Kim Il-Sung, sporting a far less receding hair line than recent memory suggests.

Have a look for yourself and imagine the majestic ride that KJI and his father are now sharing in Juche heaven with knapsacks filled to the brim with choco-pies.
