Kim Jong Un elected Supreme Leader by a landslide - Polidicks

[url]http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/nkorea-single-vote-cast-kim-jong-22842301?[/url] [quote]With no one else on the ballot, state media reported Monday that supreme leader Kim Jong Un was not only elected to the highest legislative body in North Korea, he won with the unanimous approval of his district, which had 100 percent turnout.[/quote] I love that even though he was the only person on the ballot, he still stuffed the boxes... insecure, much?

It was a close race until a few days before the election, when Un pointed out that there was no one else to vote for, and with that, the election was done

This is some government satire level shit right here

The North Korean government is a joke. Sometimes I still can't believe that shit like this still happens in 2014.

I honestly voted for Psy

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;44187581]North Korea shall always be stuck in 1984.[/QUOTE] Got your numbers mixed up. It's 1489.

And here's to a great second term!

[QUOTE]Voters in the election have no choice who to vote for — there is only one candidate's name on the ballot for each district. Instead, they have the choice of voting yes or no, and according to official accounts virtually all choose yes. [/QUOTE] I would think this is satire but...

[QUOTE=Winner;44187617]more like 1954[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Revenge282;44187588]Got your numbers mixed up. It's 1489.[/QUOTE] I think you people missed the reference.

this is like a monty python sketch

[QUOTE=Papytendo;44187592]And here's to a great second term![/QUOTE] I have high hopes for this term, very high hopes. Maybe he'll finally get shot by someone who, ahem, [I]disagrees[/I] with his policies within his own populace. Ooh, or maybe being the fattest man in his entire nation will finally catch up with him, when his over-strained heart finally detonates from lugging all that lard around. If we really cross our fingers, one of their model rockets- er, I mean [I]missiles[/I], might land directly on his house and toast him. Truly, this is a going to be a term of great opportunities.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;44187707]They even have separate voting booths for yes and no. Guess which one is never used.[/QUOTE] No "Ask Again Later" booth? For shame.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;44187707]They even have separate voting booths for yes and no. Guess which one is never used.[/QUOTE] The floor of the no booth is a trapdoor that leads to one of their prison camps.

Congrats Kim Jong Un!!

Really was a close race until the other canditate got hit in an accident mortar strike. How tragic.

I was hanging on the edge of my seat, waiting to hear the results of the heavily contested North Korean elections. 100%! David Cameron could only dream of such loyalty from the public!

When I read the title, I thought it was going to be a article from The Onion.

even if the elections were fair, he'd win by a landslide still because he has already succeeded in brainwashing the people he is a demi-god so more like 99.32% of the votes. At least he didn't win with 125% of the votes like putin

North Korea is like 1984 if 1984 were written by Douglas Adams.

I got my hopes up for a second, I read that Kim Jong was un-elected.

election was obviously rigged.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;44188711]Kim Il Sung was regarded as a (demi) god, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un not so much.[/QUOTE] Il and Un are still pretty godlike. I mean we're talking perfect golf/bowling games, never shits or pisses, omniscience etc.

[QUOTE=ief014;44188812]election was obviously rigged.[/QUOTE] Clearly these election results did not show their undying zeal of the DPRK peoples. Turnout should have been 105%, this election was clearly the workings of counterrevolutionaries.

[QUOTE=ief014;44188812]election was obviously rigged.[/QUOTE] That's hard to believe, why would they lie?

[QUOTE=usaokay;44191750]Why do they have elections when everybody in the world know who is going to win[/QUOTE] [B]Democratic[/B] People's Republic of Korea :v:
