Photos of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il always amuse me. He always seems to be shown actively participating in his country’s industrial factories with one of his trusty advisors carefully pointing to or gesturing towards an item as if to say “Look at this here. We make this in our country. We are Koreans and we make great things and our people are happy!”.
