Kim Jong-Il Uses Body Doubles For Just About Everything, Including Photos Of "Himself"

Good crazy:

North Korea's reclusive leader Kim Jong-Il has at least two nearly identical doubles to stand in for him at public appearances due to fears over his safety, South Korean intelligence officials said. "They are the spitting image of Kim — the same age, same height and with the same bouffant hairstyle and pot belly," an official told the Yonhap News Agency. "As far as I know, at least two Kim Jong-Il look-alikes fill in for him for some lower profile official events to reduce the chances of Kim being exposed to terrorist attempts," said the official at the National Intelligence Service.

The look-alikes had plastic surgery and were trained to speak and act like the reclusive leader at public functions such as "on-spot guidance tours," the official said.

Attempts to assassinate Kim Il-Jong are thus complicated by a veritable army of identical look-alikes, sometimes called "Kim clones," other times simply called... "Asians."

I keed, I keed.
