Kim Jong-Il wears 4.5 inch heels. Matching handbags?

SEOUL (Reuters) -

North Korea's Kim Jong-il has grown in stature, thanks to a pair of platform shoes that increased the Dear Leader's height by about 12 cm (5 inches), a leading South Korean daily reported on Wednesday.

The Dong-a Ilbo published a recently obtained photograph of a smiling Kim that shows him wearing a pair of platform shoes with heels about 10 cm-12 cm (4-5 inches) high.

Kim's actual height is a tightly guarded secret and Pyongyang seldom releases photographs that show his shoes. Kim is estimated to stand between 155 cm and 165 cm tall in his stockinged feet.

The photo published on Wednesday was taken in 2002 during a meeting with Russian President
Vladimir Putin. A North Korea analyst said that Kim liked to boost his height with platform shoes during his rare meetings with world leaders.

"Platform shoes are an essential item for Kim Jong-il who fears being ignored when he meets outside leaders and Westerners", said Sohn Kwang-joo, chief editor of the Daily NK, a Web site that follows North Korean news.

"What would North Koreans think if their leader was such a short man? That's why Kim feels he deserves to wear platform shoes, even if they kill his ankles," he said.

Sicko. Thats what he is, a sicko. who the phuck cares wether a person is tall or not?

 

True. I've always been more concerned with length.

 

Why, it's not like you're ever gonna get to use your lenght.

I'm more concerned about how people make use of their uranium recources.

 

How about now?

 

I saw a show on him on the Biography channel and it said that he wears platform shows and has big haircuts in an attempt to gain height and appear similar in stature to his father.

 

How abusive. STOP the shoe abuse.

 

I say go for it.

 

Wow, you're desperate..

 

So desperate he can only pull jokes a 14-year-old would laugh at.
