North Korean army minister 'executed with mortar round' A North Korean army minister was executed with a mortar round for reportedly drinking and carousing during the official mourning period after Kim Jong-il's death.
Kim Chol, vice minister of the army, was taken into custody earlier this year on the orders of Kim Jong-un, who assumed the leadership after the death of his father in December. On the orders of Kim Jong-un to leave "no trace of him behind, down to his hair," according to South Korean media, Kim Chol was forced to stand on a spot that had been zeroed in for a mortar round and "obliterated." The execution of Kim Chol is just one example of a purge of members of the North Korean military or party who threatened the fledgling regime of Kim Jong-un. So far this year, 14 senior officials have fallen victim to the purges,
"When Kim Jong-un became North Korean leader following the mourning period for his father in late December, high-ranking military officers started disappearing," a source told the Chosun Ilbo newspaper. "From information compiled over the last month, we have concluded that dozens of military officers were purged." It also appears that Mr Kim ordered his loyal officials to use the excuse of misbehaviour during the mourning period for his father to remove any potential opponents.

I was going to work in a gangnam style reference to the title, but decided that it was tacky.

There's definitely an offset with attractiveness on the scale of Clinton-Lewinsky. Except the female is the attractive one. I'd hit it.

The exectioner then walked away from the explosion while wearing sunglasses, shook his finger at the audience and said something about "Gangnam Style."

You'd think being head of your own regime, you could get more than a folding chair at an outdoor function?

"Can the -un get a cushion up in here?!?"

I have read that the l'il lady has not been seen in a few weeks. There is speculation that she may have had an "accident".

I imagine a video wouldn't be as interesting(?) as is sounds though. It would just be a guy standing there one second - then BAM! - gone in the next.

Just go rent "Faces of Death" you sicko.

I did.
