Watching this guy barreling down a waterslide while drinking whiskey with a pack of cigarettes at hand and a crystal ashtray while wearing a full suit with your family at your side is funny as fuck. Kim sure knows how to put on absurd state events.

Imagine how nervous you'd be at the top of that slide thinking, I hope I do this right so he doesn't kill my family.

You can think of it as a chance to start a diet too.

For folks in the western wold this may seem strange, but it probably makes sense if the intent is lure Chinese vacationers.

Betcha they don't insist on 10 years' worth of social media history, like the 'beacon' of the free world does!

Anyone got that quote about Trump wanting to build resorts in North Korea?

Kim should do some trolling and open a Trump Hotel.
