He was born from a volcano and must inevitably returned from whence he came.

 

[teh_pwn]

Hopefully the implications are positive - that North Korea will relatively peacefully reunite with South Korea over the next decade.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

This is really big.

 

[Tobor]

Was he Ill?

No, he was Il.

 

[BillRiccio]

Thanks GAF your my leading news source. Some shit is gonna hit the fan now i reckon.

 

[Lonestar]

Now What? /TreatWilliams

 

[MIMIC]

I saw a blurb about it a few seconds ago on CNN. I only caught the taill end of it; they were just showing his picture and went on to the next story

EDIT: OK. CNN breaking.

According to South Korea media, he is dead. North Korean TV is simply displaying a picture of Kim Jong Il.

 

[Mully]

I found out OBL and now KJL were dead on GAF.

Believe.

 

[I H8 Memes]

As predicted by Homefront. And you people called the plot far fetched.

 

[Zaptruder]

So... whoever managed to get some Kim Jong Il autographed memorabilia through the website is about to make a killing.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...r-leader-dictator-dead-at-70-yonhap-says.html

Kim Jong Il, the second-generation North Korean dictator who defied global condemnation to build nuclear weapons while his people starved, has died, Yonhap News reported. He was 70.

The news came in a radio broadcast at noon local time, Yonhap reported, citing North Korea’s official media. Kim probably had a stroke in August 2008 and may have also contracted pancreatic cancer, according to South Korean news reports.

 

[SyNapSe]

2012 has prematurely begun. Bang your wives and hide your chitlins because the end is nigh!

 

[Jeels]

GAF broke it before CNN and Fox.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Where is that Gaffer that was defending him and North Korea? Is he ok with this news?

 

[Haunted]

Pretty sure his third son will assume leadership now. His other two sons reportedly fell out of favour with Kim Jong Il over the last 10 years , from what I recall.


He probably died some time ago, I'm sure the government wasn't itching to get the news out ASAP.

 

[Relix]

Now the batshit idiot son is gonna have all the power right?

 

[Captain Tuttle]

I didn't even know he was ill

 

[leadbelly]

He was born from a volcano and must inevitably returned from whence he came.

This is malicious lies! He came down from heaven.

It says so right here.

Homefront 2 viral marketing.

Oh shit you're right, maybe there's still time to order a photograph.

 

[manipulate]

Holy crap. He lined up his youngest son to succeed him didn't he?

 

[Marvie_3]

Holy shit

 

[WedgeX]

Wild.

Most of the dictators of my youth are gone.

 

[Medalion]

RIP it up

 

[bengraven]

Please God let his son bring sanity to the country.

 

[pxleyes]

Rest in hell, Kim Jong Il. 

 

[esquire]

Why am I hearing about this on GAF first? So weird.

 

[Lionheart1337]

;_;

 

[ahoyhoy]

This is really big.

Not nearly as big as Il's dick. I heard it could reach all the way to Seoul from the DMZ*.

[Kuro Madoushi]

It just hit BBC. It's real.

Shit is about to get real. Somebody better tell the South Korean military to get their asses on highest alert RIGHT NOW.

I hope you're joking...

Apparently there are some Koreans panicking, but I don't think it means the cease fire is over.

 

[NYR]

RIP

I don't care, death is unfortunate in any sense

Um. Not really. A part of life as much as birth.

 

[The Technomancer]

Huh...I did not expect this

 

[manipulate]

Oh and, just for kicks.

 

[Kitschkraft]

Why am I hearing about this on GAF first? So weird.

Ha, I read about it in the wrestling thread first.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Holy crap. He lined up his youngest son to succeed him didn't he?

Yeah his other sons are not as insane as he liked them to be.

 

[Dany]

Will this change anything?

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Holy shit. I wonder what's going to happen now...

 

[freenudemacusers]

Heard it first on GAF.

Same.

Holy shit.

 

[jokkir]

Whoa o__o

2011 has been a crazy year.

Laughing. So. Damn. Hard.

The image in my head is unbeatable.

 

[aznpxdd]

Golfham.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I saw this on 2ch a few minutes before this thread, but damn, GAF is fast. It took quite a while longer for the various big news sites to post the information.

 

[woolley]

RIP great leader.
You made North Korea, Best Korea.
*tear

 

[Jikagi]

Wow, that was surprising.

 

[bobbytkc]

What exciting times we live in. I wonder what changes, if any, will happen in North Korea?

 

[ggnoobIGN]

Inevitable...

no fucking shit.

 

[SmithnCo]

I thought he was immortal. HAVE I BEEN LIED TO, BEST KOREA?

 

[DSN2K]
