Hot on the web this week via Tumblr is this collection of images of Kim Jong Il looking at things.

More from msnbc’s Elizabeth Chuck:

Overwhelmed by the latest data dump released by whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks? Not to worry! As always, the Internet has highlighted the items of utmost importance for your convenience.

Among other frank details that the Obama administration says could potentially endanger lives, the leaked memos reveal China’s frustration with North Korea. Beijing would be open to a Korean peninsula unified under South Korean rule, the cables imply. For North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, there’s no way that speculation can come as welcome news.

In reaction to this diplomatic crisis in the making, the blogosphere did what it does best: It passed around a hard-hitting, informative blog called kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. There are photos of Kim Jong Il looking at produce. There are photos of Kim Jong Il looking at shoes. There’s even a photo of Kim Jong Il looking at a PowerPoint.

Clearly, if anything could help you dissect the WikiLeaks situation, this blog would be it.

      But assassination isn't illegal in China.

      Perhaps the Party in China will recognize that Kim is an impediment to profits and do us and them a favor by "taking him out."

      Then they can take over "our" war in Afghanistan and win it for us as well.

      Since China was the country who won the Vietnam war, they already know how to fight and win wars of insurgency.

      We are outsourcing everything else to China. How about outsourciing Afghanistan?
