Chinese websites are censoring a phrase meaning "Kim Fatty the Third", a nickname widely used to disparage the North Korean leader, after officials from his country reportedly conveyed their displeasure in a meeting with Chinese counterparts. Searches for the Chinese words "Jin San Pang" on the search engine Baidu and microblogging platform Weibo returned no results this week.
The nickname pokes fun at Kim Jong-un's girth and his status as the third generation of the Kim family to rule the world's only hereditary communist dynasty. It's especially popular among young, irreverent Chinese who tend to look down on their country's would-be ally. [...] North Korean officials, fearing that Kim would find out about the nickname, lodged a formal request with China recently to prohibit names disparaging Kim from appearing in the media, according to Hong Kong newspaper reports.

I used to enjoy http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/ [tumblr.com] until it dawned on me that every "ordinary citizen" that this fat sack of shit stood next to looked borderline emaciated. It got a little bittersweet after that.

Wrong link. This one: http://kimjongunlookingatthings.tumblr.com/ [tumblr.com]
Also, a feature request: Can those with good karma not have a delay between posting? I should have checked my link first, granted, but I had a pre-coffee moment.

Not really: Kim Jong Un deserves some torture-and-execution shaming, but not fat shaming particularly.

Agreed. Anyone who feeds people to packs of ravenous dogs deserves a little more than fat shaming.

"Fatty, Fatty, Two-By-Four, can't get through the kitchen door"
It's funny, but the problem with fat shaming is that it works simultaneously on all fat people. When a fat person (myself) hears somebody else being fat shamed, all I can hear is myself being fat shamed. So, no I don't think he deserves it.
Yeah, that family fucking sucks. However, he was not always overweight I believe. Once he assumed power, there was an actual program to make him fatter, in addition to smoking of cigarettes. All related to the image of the Great Leader.
I remember hearing about him having gout and trying to walk around, not to mention having other health problems. The Great Leader's health though is secondary to the propaganda they need to promote. That involves being fat, to promote the idea of wealth, and as for the smoking I've got nothing. That's just stupid period.
He's not just fat though. He is a murderer. Fat shaming him actually serves to make him look weaker, and perhaps less dangerous. The facts though, show the last thing you need to be worried about is his weight. It is if he decides to kill you by firing anti-aircraft guns at you from across a stadium.
Either that, or he honey dicks you. Honey dicks you real good.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
