The Great Leaders Golf Skills Are Very Great!

Post by Gil Hamilton »

38 Under Par and 5 Holes in One
Playing through

With Phil Mickelson out of contention, it appears that the title of Best Golfer Never to Win a Major now belongs to North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il.

"Pyongyang media say (he) enjoys golf, having shot multiple holes-in-one during his first try at the game," WorldTribune.com reported. "He reportedly aced five holes and finished 38 under par on the golf course.

"The 'Great Leader' routinely shoots three or four holes-in-one per round, the government-controlled media reported."

I...I don't even see the point. Are they going to be reporting on his van Halenesque guitar skills next, or his incredible culinary aptitude?

Remember that Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs plays a game of golf with a Scotsman? On one hole, Bugs takes something like 90 shots to get to the hole, and after spending a minute counting up all the strokes he proudly proclaims "TWO!" That was the first thing that came to mind when i read this. :lol:

Has their government-controlled media already brought up Kim Jong Il's six-octave vocal range, ability to run a three-minute mile, and breath that's always minty fresh, or are they saving it until after the break the story about his 14-inch penis?

Nobody outside of the starving ignorant masses of Korea could possibly believe any of this crap, and the peasants probably don't even know what golf is. The only thing possibly intelligent reason I can think of is if these mind-numbingly idiotic statements are deliberately attempts to make outside powers who have such things as "enough weapons to melt all of North Korea" and "a population that isn't starving" and "money" underestimate him and leave him alone.

But that's too long and complicated an explanation. Kim Jong Il's just a world-class Narcissist with the power to give himself all the idoltry that he could ever want.

Hey, it's a figure of speech. Kinda like "I wonder what would've happened if The South had won the War Between the States?" Fun to think about, but only fucking retards in a place named for a cardinal direction actually believe it...

They've probably "invented" some form of fusion reactor for the job.

Bad choice, the only weapons comrade Kim has that should be of any concern can reach considerable further then 100 miles. Though I wouldn't put it past him toe send assassins against targets anywhere in the world if he so fancied your death.
