where in the world is kim jong-il?


So get this. Yesterday's New York edition of the Metro printed a silly little feature on Worth1000.com's recent Where is Kim Jong-il Photoshop contest. Funny, since the North Korean dictator hasn't been seen in quite some time, leading many to speculate on his whereabouts, the state of his health, and whether or not he's even alive.

The only the problem with the Metro piece is, they refer to Kim as "the South Korean leader"—not once, but twice. Ouch. There is a difference. A huge difference. I suppose it would be asking too much to hire some editors who know a thing or two about world affairs. View the blunder here. And check out all the entries from the Photoshop contest here. (Thanks, Eugene.)
