Although no one has seen him for more than a month, the North Korean Pinocchios who write Kim Jong-un’s news releases say their pudgy little excuse for a demi-god is actually just fine. In fact, they say, he’s back at work. According to the state fiction writers in Pyongyang, his portliness has been busy providing “field guidance” (lol) at a new apartment complex. This would mean that, at the very least, Kim was not pursuing familiar public duties like hand-picking members of a women’s swimming team or getting a bunch of weepy hugs from overwrought North Korean soldier ladies (inset). Man, this guy works hard. It remains to be seen of course if he’s really emerged from his indispose or whether the North Korean propaganda stooges are into an especially good jar of media-weed or maybe a bottle or two of Barolo from the supreme lover boy’s wine cellar. Good for the gout.
