I just read that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has been named Marshal of the Army. I suppose that they gave Kim Il-sung Jr. Jr. that position because of his many years of military experience playing Call of Duty and Halo. Just like his father, he has learned that it is ronery at the top. On a tangential note, I predict that he will be very, very angry on November 21st when the re-make of Red Dawn is released without his permission.
