Bumped for parody goodness!
More proof is needed. Send those 'chops in now!

The original post has been bumped below the fold, since this thread is now about mocking Li'l Kim!
North Korea has issued two new photographs seeking to "prove" that Kim Jong-Il is still alive. Surprisingly enough, one of the photographs seems to have been taken without the modern convenience of "shadows:"

The Supreme Commander of the North Korean People's Army (R) talks to officials at a stadium where he watched a soccer match between military teams Mankyongbong and Jebi at an undisclosed location in North Korea in this undated picture released by KCNA November 2, 2008. KCNA did not state expressly the date the picture was taken and the name of the Supreme Commander of the North Korean People's Army, who is usually designated as North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. QUALITY FROM SOURCE. REUTERS/KCNA (NORTH KOREA)

Update: A theory on the shadows, for my friends over at Reddit.

Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website.

In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*It's almost like ... they're in the shade. Weird. It's well known there's no shade in North Korea.

You can see a shadow of Kim Jong-Il's right leg and the bottom of his coat.
