Normally I'd make a joke but instead I think I'll just go ponder the notion that the rest of us are probably lucky that the people in OUR countries who feel that those sorts of punishments are right and exactly what we all deserve don't have the power that Kim-Jong has.
Bibles! Imagine, people doing porn AND having faith. It's preposterous!

I find it hard to get upset and annoyed at the little things in life, because I constantly remind myself that with things like this, and a good 1/3rd of the planet not having access to clean water (something I just turn a tap for), my level of living and existence is so far beyond that of others who themselves are doing the best they can and staying positive.
It's a shame that in 2013, this is the world we live in.
