ffiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrurururururursssssttt
also, no way could this be real.
but my favorite is how his first time bowling he bowled a 300.
and his first time golfing he hit like 39 below par with 5 holes in one. oh kim jong.
who does he think he is, Chuck Norris? (sorry, I couldn’t resist)
Chuck Norris would kick his ass someday. He once scored 301 in bowling.
Also, the IMDB has its own list of 100 Worst Movies Ever Made. Last time I checked, the lowest was 1.6/10 stars. However, the Jonas Brothers Concert: The 3D Experience has 1.3/10 stars. It’s so bad it doesn’t even show on the list. Like the aforementioned case, Chuck is the champion in bowling and everyone knows that, but because he’s so good, they give the price to the 2nd place, and this will be done forever.
A few questions friend.
1. If it is not on the list, how do you know it had 1.3 stars?
2. Why would they not put it on the list?
3. Who are the Jonas Brothers?
Thank you in advance.
Ps. Prize* fail.
1) The movie would still have an imdb page where you can see the rating. However,…
2)…it might not make it onto the bottom 100 list because it didn’t have enough people who rated it. For example, if 10 people rated a movie an average of 9.2, it still wouldn’t be on the top 250, even though the #1 movie has a 9.2, because a movie needs to have a lot more ratings. They do that so they know they are getting a good idea of what people think. If it has too few ratings, it’s total rating can be majorly affected by the entire crew of the movie giving it a 10.
3) Don’t ask, don’t tell.
It’s called a weighted average.
North Korea is Best Korea
Fail, that is not a weighted average.
The answer to that is that it is not considered a movie. Being a live concert performance, it is counted as a documentary. You can find its place here: http://www.imdb.com/chart/documentary
It is the lowest rated documentary film.
I have the feeling that it got 14,840 of the 14,848 low ratings after you posted this ;D
Ya but he did it without a ball or pins.
in three games, cause he sucks
For those who would like the original source (and yes, it’s fake)
http://www.cracked.com/article_15141_pages-ripped-from-north-korean-text-book.html
BOOYAH it’s from cracked! I shoulda known the instant I started reading it XD I knew the style sounded familiar.
I have a feeling if it was real it would PROBABLY BE IN KOREAN.
Have you ever heard of this new thing? It’s called translation!!
If by transaltion you mean “online transaltors” you should know there isn’t a single translator that delivers such a grammatically correct translation. So it’s obviously written by someone who could obviously have written what ever the funk he wants.
That’s not really my point. This wasn’t in Korean, and that is what gormster was on about. If this was in Korean, I’m quite sure it would read differently.
I don’t think a korean textbook would need to be in anything but korean.
You know, books and texts considered “interesting” were translated long before the internets were brought to us by a magical poop fairy called Al Gore.
Because Every single book on the earth is obviously translated in other languages using an Online Translator, right? I mean real people translating books is obviously impossible. Also no one could understand other languages before the discovery of the Internet and Yahoo/Google Translator, amirite?
I’m not saying you’re stupid by the way. Just saying your argument is retarded.
But, of course, it’s obviously a fake.
I’m a real translator.
Then again, maybe I’m machine. You’ll never know. Muhahahaha!
Beep?
Most depressing part about this fail? Not faked.
It doesn’t mention the double rainbow or star that magically appeared, and most translations use a swallow, rather than a hummingbird.
But not faked.
It’s 100% fake.
Google “Foreign languages publishing house, Pyongyang, DPRK.” It’s their foreign language publisher. I’m not sure if this specific book is for sale, there, but you can find plenty of references that state the same information contained here. Yes–North Korea honestly teaches this to school children and, yes, they print it in English, too (you can buy most of the books for forty cents).
No, it’s fake. I actually did a search on the aforementioned page and found nothing this ridiculous. Granted he had a lot of BS to say about himself, but nothing this crazy.
It’s untrue but NK’s official histories do say that, so it hasn’t been faked by the textbook authors.
I don’t know about this specific text… but man, you should check articles on NK propaganda, you’ll be surprised to see this kind of stuff exists outside old USSR -_-
I’d be suprised to see this kind of stuff exists inside old USSR -_-
In USSR, suprised exists inside of you!
in soviet russia, politicians foretell the birth of humminbirds!
Nothing like this was ever promoted in the USSR.
Gay!
I dunno. That “For use in school” sounds pretty legit.
You don’t say…
Actually this is what the people of North Korea are told quite earnestly of Kim Jong Il, among other things. (I’m serious).
Kid..
I did your mom fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist
…wow is that how their doing it these days?
Their what is doing it?
Patriotic AND revolutionary.
But where do the bees fit in?
Of course!!!!! How could I forget that!?
What? Wait, WHAT?
And I thought AMERICAN textbooks were biased; North Korea’s just freaky.
American text-books are biased toward what exactly?
Go see what Texan history textbooks are saying about slavery, more specifically the new name for it. “Trade Triangle” wut??
Washington never said that tobacco was America’s greatest cash-crop, it was cannabis, but the “rightists” thought that would promote drug use.
Its always been called a trade triangle (note ‘a’, not ‘the’ as there are several). Slavery was a part of it.
propaganda fail. obviously faked though- i don’t think even the north koreans are stupid enough to make this up
You might want to re-word that.
Why wouldn’t they? It’s in English, their people can’t read it anyway.
@Arthur Eld. It is a translation of the original Korean. North-Korean children are taught this nonsense and they have to learn it by heart. And they learn really young that they’d better not question this obvious propaganda because the consequensens would be dire.
Peter, Arthur is being sarcastic.
Well how’s anyone supposed to know that! He didn’t use ~these guys~
Arthur’s sarcasm transcends the need for tildes.
Is that what the tildes are used for?? I thought they were just fancy…
*runs away and dies of embarrassment*
Eh, we use them here to denote sarcasm, since it doesn’t always translate all that well into print. I don’t think they get used for that anywhere else, really.
They can legitimately be used to mean approximately… “It costs ~20 pounds”…
I’ll pay you 10.
Chuck Norris gets it for free.
Tildes are actually used in other places on the internet to denote sarcasm. It’s not that uncommon on forums and is very common on some lj communties.
In most languages the tilde is a diacritical mark, like the one over Ñ in piñata. In some Eastern languages a very similar character called the swung dash (⁓) is used as a punctuation mark with various meanings. It can denote a range (34⁓67) it can mean “and greater” (60⁓ meaning 60 and up) and it can mean “up to” (⁓4 up to 4). In Japanese it can also be used to separate a title from it’s subtitle, the way we use a colon (The Honduras⁓Exploring the Islands).
Correction, the Japanese use a wave dash, not a swung dash, however, due to an error when importing the Japanese typeset into Unicode, the wave dash character was flipped upside down. So the tilde is used instead, it’s close enough not to cause problems.
Touchè.
Don’t be so sure. Political propaganda in those countries tend to become this way.
I know as I’ve read “historical” books in communist countries.
Ya but you’re a monkey.
ya but you rhyme with barf
~because your name is sooooo much better~
At least it’s honest.
There is that.
*haz-mat suited squeeze*
I love you
Political propaganda is a lot like fundamentalist religious zealotry – Per Poe’s Law, it’s pretty much impossible to distinguish between a parody and the real thing
Like the Ruhnama in Turkmenistan?
I lmao when i saw a film about it.
Actually this book is probably real, those bastards feed some right bullocks to their people, and these poor people HAVE to believe it. Another example is that they are told that their countries economic system works and people outside of north korea look for food in bins and eat out of cat tins.
Disgraceful.
Bullocks … much harder to swallow than bollocks but probably tastier
Have you tried to swallow bollocks before? You sound experienced..
they have to swallow the bollocks because they have nothing else to eat
I also tend to agree, it’s not fake ………. ever heard of Joseph Goebbels??? have we learn something???
Actually, having read some other North Korean propaganda, this seems about on-par.
they are planning to bring the moon back to their country? hmm, yea i think they’re quite stupid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZIgda01k6o
dude, google “the onion”
Fake Fail Fail
Fake Fail Win surely?
So ronery…
F*#% you Hans Brick!
Uhhh, I consider this a win.
it’s a TOTAL win. no other baby can walk at birth. Kim Jong Il strolled out of his mom at 3 MONTHS GESTATION, when the fetus is THREE INCHES.
For the love of God, why didn’t someone just step on him then!?
Their foot probably would have just melted off as soon as it touched the pure awesome that is Kim.
that amount of awesomeness usually generates that much heat
I know, right? sigh… America used to be so sexy
Failblog is just trollin’
The sad thing is that this fake isn’t even that much more ridiculous than real U.S. textbooks.
Ungrateful little peasant. Your mind is rubbish. You can’t even discern liberal propaganda rhetoric from facts. Obviously, the teachers’ union has more sway over your tiny little mind than schoolbooks do.
Hey, there’s always Texas, where kids are taught the *truth*: that Thomas Jefferson was a proud advocate for a branch of Christianity that didn’t exist yet and that he, Ben Franklin and Tom Paine all planned our Proud Evangelical Theocracy.
Hey, I live in Texas and I never even heard that. Just sayin’.
Google “texas board of education textbooks 2010″
grats on spreading MORE blatant lies.
Because there are ~never~ mistakes in schoolbooks.
I get it its sarcasm!!
stupid little redneck. your mind is all fat. you can’t even work out that unions are a good thing. obviously fox news has much more sway over your inbred little mind than common sense does.
dont just pick on the texan… its just one side of the same coin
Are you by chance the reincarnated form of Joseph McCarthy?
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE
Stop being so ignorant. Think before you post a message.
No, ignorant is simply lacking knowledge. What you meant to say was stop being so stupid.
excuse me but what is it stupid about saying this pic is fake? BECAUSE IT’S FAKE, not to say stupid as well for someone to believe somebody would notice, therefore you’re the ignorant : )
Sure sure, whatever. But do so MANY need to say that it’s fake?
And with that many ‘A’s?
because there are too many idiots commenting how funny it is, when it’s not even real, so there is no point! but yeah like you say, whatever, believe any funny crap you see in this website and lol about it, I only lol about the ones that matter.
So you won’t laugh at something, no matter how funny it is, if it’s fake.
You don’t… watch comedies often do you?
This is someone who probably LOVES “America’s Funniest Home Videos”, particularly the base/basket/foot/soccer ball to the groin clips.
yes I do! at least in this website, where people are supposed to upload FAILS that are actually true, that’s why I don’t laugh at this and call it fake, because someone with a lot of free time and need for attention put together his pic and a fairytale to try making people believe it’s true and make fun of it.
Most of come here for more than the pics. We come here for the camaraderie, to catch up with each other and just have fun.
Sad, that that has escaped you.
Uh.. no most people come to this site for the lolz, sorry.
chill out a little, kami…. no one is trying to make you believe anything here, some say is fake? Im ok with it, some say is not a fake, im ok with it too……….. it’s call freedom, you do know that little word, don’t you?
What about this makes people so adamant that it’s fake? I did some relief work in that area of the world, and in some areas young children really are taught this kind of crap. I don’t know about this particular lot of crapspackle, but things like his coming being foretold by magical animals, and miracles he’s performed, how he’s an absolute paragon of a human, etc. are taught all the time. Keep in mind you’re dealing with a culture still steeped in superstition and poorly educated, taught to believe their leader is a god, and so who could possibly stand up to the mighty North Korea? Aren’t we great?! Crap? Sad? Yes.
The fail isn’t overly funny. However you, on the other hand, are a scream. Thanks!
The picture is not fake. It is indeed a photo of Kim Jong Il. Retouched a bit maybe, but it is him.
That picture might be a bit old too.
Nope. It was posted on Failblog just today.
*snerk*
Hey Avis, maybe you did this crap and uploaded it and that’s why you’re so concerned about people saying it’s fake, I can see you debate in every comment here that says it’s fake, that’s soooo pathetic man xD
Ouch, I could FEEL the burning coming off of that one.
Want some aloe for that one, Avis?
What, that? Pshaw, that is nothing!
Sorry Avis, but this is nothing ø.
*raises an eyebrow*
*snork*
Kid, you are really not the brightest star in the firmament. More along the lines of nebulous gas. Perhaps you should give it a rest.
I have, to this date, never submitted anything to FailBlog. But by all means, feel free to send in your most recent family photo.
oh god…I hope that comment was sarcasm or something otherwise i’m dealing with a bunch of idiots, yeah you know whatever screw you guys!
Sorry, but you are not my type.
And that’s illegal where I hail from. Age restrictions and whatnot.
Heh. I love it when you guys use humo(u)r on the humo(u)r impaired. I can hear the *whooooosh!*-es from here.
It creates a nice breeze on these humid summer nights.
I’ve always been a fan of breezes.
#Then funnier than a clowning man
My joke, was lost on you
And resulting breeze, it kicked up
Some summer wind#
i excuse you, but as stupid as it seems, it is not a fake, they actually teach this to people in schools there
I want a magical hummingbird, and I want it now!
That’s what you think now. Wait ’till you have one – it won’t stop talking bullsh!t.
…at a zillion miles an hour. Those magical hummingbirds are on a permanent sugar rush.
I don’t want a pet that’s constantly sticking its tongue out at me, either. Besides, that flapping sounds like a vuvuzela.
Hummingbirds remind me of my grandpa. I’ll take the Admiral’s bird, please.
Okay, so how do hummingbirds remind you of your grandpa?
We used to sit out on his front porch and watch the hummingbirds come to the feeder. He would tell us that he had named them all and could tell them all apart. Of course we believed him. He always had stories about their adventures etc.
Awwwww, that sounds sweet!!
we get hummingbirds at the feeder every year, and i name them and can tell them apart. i don’t know if they are the same year to year though. don’t let the amazment fade with the years, your grandfather sounds like he knew what he was talking about
For some reason, this comment cheered me up.
Wait…the Admiral is giving Ms B the bird??
*snork*
Humina humina!
Yes, Veruca, dear. Whatever you wish is yours, darling.
How did you beat me to this?
Speedy fingers and a lightning quick wit?
That would do it!
Channeling your inner Veruca?
♫Can’t fight the Seether…♪
Apparently you must, being a magical raven and all.
Nicely played!
*bites a hummingbird*
*offers it to NS as a gift*
It would be very interesting to read the entire textbook. Anybody know where I can find it? Also, this looks ‘shopped, although I fervently believe it isn’t.
Its a win for trolling N.Korea
OH…no Im pretty sure that might be correct… check out http://www.uriminzokkiri.com/newspaper/english/main.php its the official propaganda page for north korea, man its a riot
The biography of Kim Jong Il is pure class.
Kim Jong Il was unusual in his abilities of observing, discerning and analyzing things.
“In his young days, with sincere and careful observation, he learned why hens hold their beaks up after pecking at water and why there are no black flowers. One year, on the night of August 15 by the lunar calendar, he was watching the moon. Someone told him that according to a legend, on the moon there is a cinnamon tree under which a rabbit is pounding something in a mortar. Remembering that a plane seems to grow smaller as it flies higher, and eventually disappears, Kim Jong Il refuted the legend by saying that a rabbit on the far-way moon cannot be seen.”
nope
sources: cracked magazine
Kim Jong Il can slam a revolving door.
Kim Jong Il doesn’t believe in the table of elements. He only believes in the element of suprise.
If you type in “Kim Jong Il” on google, it comes up saying “Google won’t search for Kim Jong Il because it knows you do not find Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Il finds you. Suggestions: 1. Run, before he finds you. 2. Try a different person.”
Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Kim Jong Il pajamas.
If at first you don’t succeed… you’re not Kim Jong Il.
Kim Jong Il can lick both elbows. at the same time
They once made a Kim Jong Il toilet paper but there was a problem; it wouldn’t take crap from anybody.
Kim Jong Il had the idea to bottle and sell his urine. We call this beverage Red Bull.
Kim Jong Il sleeps with a pillow under his gun
It’s from Cracked. Click the link in my name for more info.
Sorry; try this.
At least you’re at the right place.
Real or Fake, how is this any different from what Christianity?
…WAT?
flamebait FAIL
Time, just time.
Give North koreans two thousand years more and voila, you get Christianity 2
you’re making my day petruza…… as stated above, how come this is a fake, and the other tale about a man being his own father resurrects the dead (sorry ZA) transmutes matery and walks on water…… and i have nothing but respect for all religions, is just a logical argument, any takers?
*ejem, sir, we are taking a great amount of crap for this one*
Kim Jong Il counted to infinity – twice.
There is no theory of evolution! Just a list of animals Kim Jong Il allows to live.
Chuck Norris actually responded to the meme. He said,
“It’s funny. It’s cute. But here’s what I really think about the theory of evolution: it’s not real. It is not the way we got here. In fact, the life you see on this planet is really just a list of creatures God has allowed to live. We are not creations of random chance. We are not accidents. There is a God, a Creator, who made you and me. We were made in His image, which separates us from all other creatures.
By the way, without Him, I don’t have any power. But with Him, the Bible tells me, I really can do all things — and so can you.”
This propaganda piece takes away from the awsomeness of Chuck Norris if it is real.
I’d like to see Chuck respond to that!
Dude, Chuck is a Christian. . .
He’s quoting Philippians 4:13 (New King James Version), “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Well, I feel hmiliated now…
NORTH KOREA IS BEST KOREA
of course!! its all clear now ty korean textbooks!!
it’s probably a fake. a north korean “history book” written in english?
There are translations…
Better than Kia-Ora?
Actually, as far as I know, from watching various documentary on North Korea, this story is not far from the official myth of creation of their leader. There are some crazy accounts of how his mother received the blessing of god, virgin birth, and a lot of stories involving cranes ect.
That man and that state are clearly insane.
Oh but the magical son of himself who walks over the water, THAT’s possible.
Touché
actually, i may not share your point, but i admit you have a good point there
Fake, and clearly written by an American. Hummingbirds are American birds, not native to Asia.
Surely people can find enough genuine craziness about N Korea without posting some spoof page? The real “fail” is whoever thought this was genuine.
You are an insult to both birds and dragons.
It is an insult to all life and may end up being an insult to unlife as well.
The hummingbird thing ( actually ‘swallow’ ) is on wikipedia, so go delete it or else Wikipedia would be WRONG!!!!
Kim Jong Il can divide by zero.
repeatedly!!!!!
like with red white and blue all over?
red and white sound normal, for blue you may want to see a doctor
blue is just a sign of pregnancy…
or a waffle
or a smurf going nasty
Or a period, if tampon commercials are to be believed.
When did red and white ever sound normal?
Hi. I’m a palindrome too.
just search blue waffle.
Sry, all doctors have left the country.
What about Canadian ones with their maple leaves? *snork*
I thought canadians had beavers. *tee hee*
More like red, white and blew all over.
Amiright? Enh?
LOL More Kim Jong please! haha
Souds like The Bible
Kim Jong-il’s father based his cult on Christianity. His uncle was a church leader, so he studied christianity and pretty much mutated it to make him “god” and Kim Jong-il the equivalent to Jesus Christ. Look at these:
http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/907680-web-crazy-facts-about-kim-jong-il/
I’ve worked on North Corea at school. Fake biographies like this are actually written by North Corea’s governement, to make Kim Jong II seem like a god. He’s the dictator there. His father, altho dead, is also officially the leader.
Where?
Wut?
Somehow I don’t think Sophie passed that class…
… or school in general.
I did what your teacher might have (SHOULD HAVE) done – I gave you an ‘F’. Fortunately for you, Bloggy got the munchies and ate it.
Just thought you should know that.
No offence Sophie, but given that you can’t even spell ‘Korea’, you’ll forgive me if I don’t find your claim very plausible or your school very good. Like dragonbird said, this is obviously fake and accepted only by people who are too uneducated and lazy to actually learn about the issues and problems that surround the DPRK and western foreign policy.
I’ve seen the word Korea spelled as “Corea” in Korea (south).
because ……. you do know that not all countries are spelled in English……… shame on them!!! Corea is much more common way of spell it outside usa, this my fellow failbloggers, is and actual translation of a north korea school textbook, i don’t want you to believe it, or me for that matter, but the fact that you don’t believe in something doesn’t make it fake, does it?
This isn’t how Kim Jong Il was born, he roundhouse kicked his way out of his mother’s Patriotic and Revolutionary Uterus, thus inventing the C-section.
Kim Jong Il doesn’t have blood, he is filled with magma.
Kim Jong Il can kill two stones with one magical hummingbird.
Check about 18:40 for the birth story of Kim Jong Il as (according to this documentary) is told to the North Korean people. Despite what AC says below, it actually is common for these wild stories to be written by the NK government, specifically their Propaganda Department. While they seem crazy and obviously false to us, they are widely believed in NK, as they have no access to the outside world.
It’s amazing, really.
So like… what documentary?
If you see “birth” translated “nascency”, it’s genuine.
I have seen a few documentary about North-Korea, and this is one of the stories they actually believe there. There are much more stories like this about Kim Jong Il. They think about him the same way as most of you think about your God.
I love how not only does it praise his birth in fanatical ways but also how the mention of the doctors fleeing the country explain away all the educated that disappeared overnight because of this repressive regime.
WIN.
“You’re holding it wrong!”
The North Koreans are taught some pretty ridiculous stuff, but come on, all the doctors fleeing?!
It’s FAKE but also frightening in the way it shows how many westerners will actually believe that it can be real.
So, this history book was written by the same group that is trying to re-write the history books for our great nation’s state of Texas, then?
WOOOOOOWW fake but funny!!!!
My uncle taught english in SOUTH Korea.
Yeah cuz South Korea and North Korea are the ~same thing~ right?
You’re uncle teaching english in south korea doesn’t mean you’d know anything about education in north korea.
Question: I know it’s summer break and all and I know these 5 year old trolls have to steal onto mommy’s computer to try to pretend their lives have meaning, but do they ALL have to claim that everything is fake? Can’t they just appoint one or two morons to handle the task for the rest of them?
*smashes open own skull with headstone*
*feasts on his own braaaaiiiiinnnzzzz*
Do you think they could decide which one of them would get the honor? I myself don’t really think they could.
What would the rest of them do with all the free time though? They’d probably study literature and pier reviewed scientific publications – and become smart. Then there’d be a whole load of smart efficient morons. Don’t you see the dangers?
Pier reviewed? I didn’t know docks had opinions.
Ha! You kidding me? Docks have so many opinions right now. It’s not even funny how much opinions they have. Oh man! ‘Cause…
…Fine. I made a mistake. It’s really late here though so I’m not sorry.
S’okay, I’m just busting your chops.
Is it National Garf Day and nobody told me?
Better get into character quick!
this is actually real. hard to believe but still this is being taught in North Korean schools.
This is a Win, because it’s a fake.
I thought David Barton only wrote American textbooks.
fake and gay
Does Failblog recognize sarcasm and humour when it sees them? This is clearly a Failblog fail.
Of course we don’t know sarcasm nor humour. Such crudities are never tolerated here.
Ooh! Crudities?? I didn’t know we were having appetizers with our drinks!
Oh good! I came here to veg awhile.
There certainly are a lot of dips around tonight.
Feel chipper myself.
Maybe we should have some cheese with our whine? (I know just the bottle.)
I can haz cheezburgundy?
Hello there! Summer has finally arrived. (I can hardly wait for the “STAY ON TOPIC” twits to show up.) It’s 90°!! I was at the beach today and saw a lot of people walking around looking like candy canes. Blinding white and blazing red.
Just found out that I’m sun burned too. The nurses are going to kill me Monday.
Isn’t that sorta against their code of ethics?
I would say: WIN WIN WIN!!
Wow its like everyday, NKorea seems more like what would happen if 4chan was ever allowed to run a country. Sorta like that 4zuela E-republic incident.
patriotic and revolutionary?
O RLY?
And why is a Korean textbook page written in English?
Not that I doubt that the regime is brainwashing it’s people with that junk, but it seems odd that this is in English…
*headdeskheaddeskheaddesk*
Not only is the bio fake, it’s plagerized – this is Obama’s bio.
*crickets*
That’s not how Kim Jong Il was born. That is how I was born, except it didn’t happen in Korea. It happened on the moon Triton orbiting Neptune.
Justin Bieber wrote this in continuation for his “I hate North Korea” movement.
Sorry people: this is 100% fake.
While there are some crazy stories about Kim Jong Il being taught in North Korea, this is not one of them.
It comes from cracked.com.
http://www.cracked.com/article_15141_pages-ripped-from-north-korean-text-book.html
See the entire thing, and you’ll know it’s fake.
Why there are so many people here insisting this is real, I have no idea.
Do not want to tap that. Sounds dry and curdled.
I have seen documentaries about North Korea (I know that’s nothing special) but even if it’s fake, this is the kind of stuff they tell the citizens.
Guess it’s the same as those text books written about that other fella, the one who died then came back to life – and who’s mother was a virgin
I’m not so sure all of this is false. Just take one look at that guy and tell me he wasn’t born six months premature.
You’re right, that part could be true
He is, The Most Interesting Man in the World…
Failblog megafail.
Come on… What are the people with clues on vacation?
I thought he was born this way
http://www.good.is/post/the-two-births-of-kim-jong-il-myth-vs-fact/
LOL Epic as hell! Kim Jong The Illest
In his picture, he looks so ronery.
Somebody should film Kim Jong Il´s biography (according to propagandistic sources like this), that would definetly be a great comedy!
Yeah, directed by the same guy who directed Kung Fu Hustle.
LOL Epic as hell! Kim Jong The Illest
whatever i just love to visit this site bcoz everyday i laugh after visiting the site
Wow, you learn something new every day!
The Highest mountain ever is where His Highness’ mother had a Paektu.
Can we send some mountaineers over to plant a flag there?
Or do we need excavators?
I cannot think that anyone in the world could mistake II (the second) with IL (Capital I and low L)…
North Korea never calls themselves ‘North Korea’, just Korea. They sometimes say ‘south Korea’ (notice without the capital letters). Its always the DPRK.
Dunno what is worst… That this is actually school books or that these people are indoctrinated enough to believe it?
they’re indoctrinated to believe stuff that was made up for cracked.com? weird
mindwashing at it’s best
Hmmm… 6 months premature. Explains why he’s so short.
LOL i was thinking the same thing
I’m not an enthousiast of North Korean doctrin (big litotes) but I’d like to insist on the fact that when we, on this side of The Great Pond, read what’s written by some US celebrities about how species came to life, we’re often wondering whether it could be a fake. But you now it’s real, alas.
Whence I’m voting for “it isn’t”.
This just totally reminded me off Team America where Kim Jong Ill sings “Im sooo Ronrey” This just made my day! total LOL in my book
For use in SCHOOLS???
You just haven’t met the right partner.
A similar thing was said of the Buddha. He took 7 steps and uttered 7 words right after his birth. I wonder if Kim made his own myth up or whether he has staff for that.
This is the exact same story i was told about my Birth.
Wow. I got a kick not only out of the post but also many of the comments.
STUPID FAKE STUPID FAKES
It doesn’t sound any less ridiculous than the bible, which somehow half of America seems to believe in. At least we don’t teach it in our history classes, though.
YET
1. why would this be in english
2. kill yourselves, all of you
One Question comes to mind, why is this printed in English?
DUDE! I wanna read the rest from that text book!
Fake.
So that’s why their health care is nonexistent?
North Korea = Fail
Soooo…. NK has no doctors? I find that hard to believe, if this is actually true. I thought that bit was the punchline to an attempt at satire, myself.
…LMGTFMyself…. no, North Korea has apparently had a lot of doctors, for a long time. Not that they’ve always had enough medical supplies to do their job, or in fact been paid enough to feed themselves even, but there has been a lot of doctors trying to treat people. So I find this propaganda rather… suss. Even taking into account the ridiculousness of history being written by the victors.
In this case it’s written by the stereotypical “school lunch-lady”, missing the hair-net and apron.
…
At this point, nuking the whole country would be a supreme act of mercy
Everyone that has said this is real, is functionally retarded.

and it’s a fail..
It is hard to fake NorK propaganda because the real thing sets the standard. They seriously issued pictures with the Great Leader instructing ducks on how to lay eggs, with the illustration showing the birds lined up to listen to him.
The West is full of people who think it is all a joke and that they are being clever and superior by laughing at reactionary capitalist warmongers. The problem is that there is this little thing called reality and in reality the North Korean regime is every bit as insane and dangerous as the worst possible story that people say about it. People who tear down the West and promote 3rd World tyranny, whether Korean, Cuban, Venezuelan, Iranian, Gazan or Iraqi are as ignorant and destructive as the idiot in Die hard II who thought that he could negotiate with the terrorists.
What an impressive grasp of reality you show here sir….
Pointing to these countries in a bunch, while they are really all in VERY different situations on all levels (political, economic, historical, military, diplomatic, etc..), (Gaza being a countryless region) reminds me of that almost funny “Axis of Evil” story.
Just for my info, would you actually be able to point at these countries or places on a globe?
The “3d World tyranny” thing was already funny, but the Die hard reference really settled the case for me…
Kim Jong is God’s response to Chuck Norris. If Chuck Norris ever met Kim Jong, the universe would implode.
sounds almost like a chuck norris story.
“North-Korean children are taught this nonsense and they have to learn it by heart. And they learn really young that they’d better not question this obvious propaganda because the consequensens would be dire.”
Thank god American children are not told similar stories, say about someone whose birth was prophesied in books with names like Isaiah and Micah, who was born from a virgin (take that medical community) and who rose from the dead (take that, scientists).
Ah, those wild and crazy North Koreans, so unlike America with its 48% of the population who believe in ghosts, and its 60% who believe in the literal truth of Noah’s Ark.
This comment rocks on so many levels.
I like very much, don’t forget the Americans abducted by aliens.
well i liked it.
i want a sequel !!!
This is fake. it was on cracked.com like last year. but north korean textbooks DO say that kim shot down a helicopter-with a handgun.
Obviously fake. North Korea isnt teaching their kids in English…
The sad thing is…after working in Korea I could sort of see this being put in a text book.
And in 2010 Best Korea will be blessed again with Justin Bieber.
No wonder he’s so ronery.
Helpful information. Lucky me I found your website accidentally, and I am shocked why this coincidence did not took place earlier! I bookmarked it.
Magnificent issues altogether, you just received a logo new reader. What would you suggest about your put up that you just made some days in the past? Any certain?
