Kim Jong Ill

First of all, Kim Jong Ill sounds quite funny. You know, he was ill and then he was dead. Wait, Kim Jong Il sounds like 'Kim Jong's Ill', doesn't it? Oh, everyone's done that already. And then there comes the bit where people saying 'FFS with the Kim Jong Ill jokes you bastards' starts popping up, and that raises a smile at first. But soon that becomes as irritating as the 'Kim Jong Ill' things. Perhaps even more irritating. And you start to think: Well, those Kim Jong Ill people are just waking up to the joke, and maybe it was quite funny the first time you read it. I told you I was Kim Jong Ill, you know. And then you think: but surely some of these people are just feigning naivety and saying the Kim Jong Ill joke, knowing it's been done a million times already, as a laugh? And then, what does that do to the "FFS with the Kim Jong Ill jokes you unfunny bastards" thing? Does that make it funny again? At what point does it stop or start being funny? And then you think, well, I suppose it's reached the point where the joke itself, and the jokes about it not being funny, have reached the point where neither is funny, and both are unwelcome. So what do you do? Do you just leave the world altogether, because you fear that someone you admire, or respect, is going to say "Kim Jong ILL MATE, MUHAHAHAHA!" and you're going to have to stand there and mutter how pleasant it all is to yourself? How do you survive? Or maybe it doesn't matter at all. Maybe it's all right to just let it happen.

Kim Jong Ill, haha.
