Kim Il Jong: The Photoshopped Photo

I never have the patience to examine photos for fakeness.  Thank God others do.

North Korea release a photo of its dear leader, Kim Il Jong, to show the world that rumors of his illness or death are unsubstantiated.  The BBC, among others, saw the photo and cried "Photoshop!"

Yeah.  It looks like they're right.  Which only means that the dude really is ill or dead.

Hmmmm….
