Jang Song-thaek is Jang Song-DEAD!

In what is widely viewed as the most assertive political move of his sophomore political career, Kim Jong-un, has executed his second-in-command uncle (and right-hand man in the picture above) after dismissing him from his post at the party earlier in the week for "committ[ing] criminal acts baffling the imagination and they did tremendous harm to our party and revolution."

Moral of the story: Remember those kids in in high school who were obsessed with "The Matrix", and looked like they hadn't been outside in weeks? You know? The goth ones you always made a point of being nice (or at very least indifferent) to as they were always wearing trench coats, and looked like they could go postal at any minute? The ones with "hit lists"? -The same principle applies in North Korea, only in North Korean the kids you've got to watch out for wear Meineke jumpsuits and have lunch lady hair.
