Titles for Kim Jong-Il
Leafing through the February 2005 issue of Harper's Magazine, I found a list of titles that North Korean state television claims are given to Kim Jong-Il, the president and supreme dictator by "prominent leaders from 160 nations around the world."
Normally, I don't copy lists verbatim from publications. I had to make an exception for this one. Curious?

- Greatest Saint Who Rules With Extensive Magnanimity
- Lode Star of the Twenty-First Century
- Best Leader Who Realized Human Wisdom
- Leader with Extraordinary Personality (Yeah, just watch Team America: World Police. -- V.)
- Eternal Bosom of Hot Love (Putting the dick in dictator? --V.)
- Master of Literature, Arts and Architecture
- World's Best Leader with Versatile Talents
- Humankind's Greatest Musical Genius (Beethoven's Ninth? Kim Jong-Il's Tenth? --V.)
- Master of the Computer Who Surprised the World (What next? Ilux? --V.)
- Man with Encyclopedic Knowledge
- Guardian Deity of the Planet
- Heaven-Sent Hero (Peace Be Upon Him --V.)
- Power Incarnate With Endless Creativity (Yeah, endlessly creating nucular weapons --V.)
- Greatest Man Who Ever Lived
