You can see the original article by using the above link.
Now, to business. So, how crazy can the north korean government get. Now the mausoleum where Kim Jong Il's body lies has been opened to public, and made an tourist attraction... they seem to try gaining some more attention abroad, maybe making some better fame this time.

I don't see how this is a big deal. If you know about N. Korean culture then you would know Kim Jong-Il was viewed as a god. And just like any other society, you build public monuments for your gods.

Yeah well... Of course, could well be that he is adored a lot. But again, it could be the other way. The thing is, you can't know.
What i'm wondering is, when do you think they are gonna open the country, if they are going to,you can't stay isolated forever

Probably soon when the UN has to step in and kick their ass over all this nuclear stuff.

he was view as a god cause people of n korea were conditioned that way.
I remember a documentary about the people there,
so so many poor people there and a house must have a pic of the man inside of their house.
