Dictator Kim Jong Il has resumed executions!

Dictator Kim Jong-ill has resumed executions in North Korea,

A North Korean factory boss accused of making international phone calls was executed by a firing squad in front of 150,000 people, it emerged today.

(And we thought our long distance rates were steep!!!!)

The manager was gunned down in a sports stadium in South Pyongan province after authorities claimed he'd installed the phones in a basement to reach the outside world, the Good Friends aid agency revealed.

Six people were also crushed to death and 34 others injured in an apparent stampede as they left after the execution.

Olympic Fever!

Since announcing that it would co-host the 2008 Olympics, preparations have proceeded at a progressively protracted pace.

Dear Leader Kim Jong-ill has personally supervised many of the
training routines for mass displays by up to 100,000 people. They are seen holding up colored boards to make various designs and slogans.

North Korea's 100,000-person pixel board. The display shown up above was obviously a tribute to target practice or crowd control.

Here's an unforeseen benefit of totalitarian states.
You can use your absolute authority to require people to form a giant human pixel-board:

The huge backdrops are made from human pixels, 1000's of performers holding sequences of coloured placards. Timed to coincide with China's Olympic Ceremonies, this was communist precision at its best.

Kim Jong-ill is obviously impressed with preliminary results as we can see from the look on his face.













China, meanwhile, has still not publicly commented on North Korea's plans to unilaterally co-host the games.
