Kim Jong-un, current leader of North Korea, reacts after fireworks was released during the unveiling ceremony of bronze statues of North Korea founder Kim Il-sung and late leader Kim Jong-il in Pyongyang in this photo taken by Kyodo April 13, 2012. North Korea said its much hyped long-range rocket launch failed on Friday, in a very rare and embarrassing public admission of failure by the hermit state and a blow for its new young leader who faces international outrage over the attempt.

I can read behind the smiles of the North Koreans. They're thinking "uggghhhhh we have to schlep it to yet another big ol' gathering and watch the fat guy point at stuff, I'd rather stay home and watch Green Acres."
Just two more large status to tip over later by the very same folks that have to grovel in public, so many art works with these two dastardly dorks on them also for bon fire, it's so amazing that these dictators never get it they become in love with themselves and allow the military to have their way as long as the lobsters and pizza keep comming.
@Bimmersnob,
unfortunately, these people have been so brainwashed they really don't think that way. In fact they see their leaders as god like.
I realize many of them have been brainwashed, but in reality I think a lot of that is beginning to wane. One thing reporters have pointed out is that at the end of festivities like this, and Kim Jong-Il's funeral, everyone quickly turned off the waterworks and went home.
