I just remember a lot of pictures of him looking rather pot-bellied. It probably wasn't the most tasteful remark but you have to wonder about chubby dictators who rule starving countries.

I have no problem whatsoever with untasteful remarks about, among all people, Kim Jong Il. I was only quite surprised how skinny he looked. I also had different memories. Maybe it’s that ugly coat?
