I found some of the Kim Jong-il stories funny like the one where he made the hole in one his first time golfing. I think he had over hole in ones.
From the Herald Sun:
In 1994, Pyongyang media reported that Kim Jong-il shot an amazing 11 holes-in-one to achieve an unprecedented 38-under-par game on a regulation 18-hole golf course - on his first try at golf.
Reports say each of his 17 bodyguards verified the record-breaking feat.

Of course they verified the record breaking feat. Had they told the truth, Kim Jong-Il would have had them killed.
Look at it this way, if Rodgers had Allstate instead of State Farm, he'd be protected from mayhem like this

I think it's actually true. I mean why would he lie about something like that?
I have faith in people and if Kim Jung-Il says he had 11 hole in ones then I'm taking him at his word.
But I bet he's regretting being a leader of a Communist nation though with golf skills like that. If Tiger Woods can get that amount of women imagine how many Kim Jong-Il would get being way better than him. Although he probably would've had to change his first name. Kim is kind of a girl's name.

At the risk of hijacking this thread I'm interested in the reasoning.
It's probably best to read one of the books on him, but basically while he did kill a lot of people, he also was pretty damn progressive. He pretty much revolutionized cultural communication between east and west, abolished torture, gave inhabitants of his lands universal religious freedom, etc.
He did do some horrible things, no doubt. He just gets a rep as one of the worst people ever to grace Earth and it isn't deserved imo.
It overstates the influence of the Mongols quite a bit, but "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" is a pretty solid book to read.

The biggest fear is that the transition of power to his son was not completed and Kim Jong-un, at 27, is very inexperienced as a politician which could lead to a power struggle in North Korea. These could be very unstable times unfortunately.
This could be the catalyst for the Mayans predicting the world will end on Dec 21st 2012 (j/k). Just one year to go. Enjoy while it lasts everyone but couldn't they wait until next season is over. It would be a terrible shame for Green Bay to go to 13-0 again and then the world abruptly ends. But at least the 72 Dolphins would be happy. ;)
