Kim Jong Il Staring at Stuff

Kim Jong Il was a man who had three main interests, in this order: sunglasses, oppressing his own people, staring at stuff. Yep, the late Kimbo had a fondness for looking at stuff, and not priceless works of art in museums. No, Kimmy was more into looking at stuff like produce, dead fish, roofing tiles (yea, we don't get it either). In fact, much like Mr. Rogers, one of Kim's favorite pastimes was taking field trips to factories and grocery stores simply to stare at sh*t. Here are some of Kim Kim's favorite things to stare at.

I bet you Saddam Hussein never visited a bubble gum factory.

Kim marvels at the array of fish.

Kim stares at a chemistry used for making rock candy... or poisons.

"Those different color than the others." Good job, Kim!

This be about your size, eh, my imperial lord?

Kim once visited an aquarium and spent nearly a week there.

They told him that jar of jam was from America, and then had a good laugh about it.

Preserved apples, truly fascinating.

Kim monitors soldiers taking the "Don't ask questions or think for yourself" exam.

"Remember, Kim, it may look like cotton candy, but don't put it in your mouth."

"Perfect for storing the ashes of your vanquished foes."

Okay, we admit, that is pretty baller.
