Kim Jong Un fed his uncle to 120 starving dogs

Forget the hangman's noose, the firing squad or lethal injection: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un executed his uncle and a handful of the man's aides by feeding them to a horde of 120 starving dogs, according to a shocking account.

Jang Song Thaek, the former No. 2 official in the secretive regime, was stripped naked and tossed into a cage along with his five closest aides.

"Then 120 hounds, starved for three days, were allowed to prey on them until they were completely eaten up. This is called 'quan jue', or execution by dogs," according to the Straits Times of Singapore. The daily relied on a description of the execution in a Hong Kong newspaper that serves as the official mouthpiece of China's government.

"The entire process lasted for an hour, with Mr. Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader in North Korea, supervising it along with 300 senior officials," the Straits Times said in a piece published Dec. 24, 2013, but only now getting traction in the United States. Two American national security officials contacted for comment said they had not heard that account, which first appeared in the Wen Wei Po newspaper on Dec. 12, 2013.

While China acts as North Korea's patron, relations between the two have been strained. The United States wants Beijing to take a more active role in pressuring Kim's Stalinist regime in Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons. The Straits Times suggested that China's government leaked the account of the December execution to signal its anger at Kim's government.

The United States has labored to get a grip on what kind of leader Kim Jong Un will be, amid worries in Washington that he is more reckless than his father, Kim Jong Il, whom he succeeded as supreme leader in December 2011.

As Voltare remarked on the execution of Admiral Byng: "pour encourager les autres".

Or maybe not.

The convenience store next to my school must be getting paid kickbacks by the local dental union because they're giving out free cotton candy there.

I don't get the playlists at my local coffee shop. They followed up Linkin Park's Numb with Party Rock by LFMAO. Talk about mood whiplash.

Good to know you've taken advantage of your 4 year immersion in Korea.

There is something supremely repulsive about South Korea's plastic surgery fetish.

If you started out looking like those kids wouldn't you want some help too?  I think the broad looks pretty good.

Timmy, 4 years in country and that's all you have is not very good.  Pick up a basic grammar and learn how to conjugate.  Focus on the verb ha da, since 75% of Korean speech involves it.

She doesn't, once you realize that there is nothing natural about her look, and that her face is copied and pasted on hundreds of women each day.
