Kim Jong-il's Women are more melodramatic than Mexican Soap Operas

Just when you thought Mexican's had the lock on over-dramatic melodrama in soap operas,  here comes the North Korean women in Kim Jong-il's funeral. 

Believe it or not, it's rather entertaining witnessing these women's attempts at trying to not burst out in laughter while pretending to cry.  It's like watching a massive casting call for the North Korean version of Sofie's Choice.

Anyway, enjoy.

Merry Christmans from Terry Gilliam in 1968!

For those who don't know, Terry Gilliam was an American ex-repatriate in the 60's while doing the animations for Monty Python.  Here is one such video.

Happy Holidays,
