Probably fake, but if true, he didnt last long. I expect the missiles to start flying tonight.

It's fake. Seen him in Copper's last night. He's still around.

Biggins

I'd be inclined to think its real when its hits any major more reliable news agencies like Reuters, etc...

Till then? Naa... pass!

mattjack

Soooo.....what do we do now ? just wait and see what happens ?

ronnie3585

Insert Kim Jong Pun.

rednik

Un is not amused.

ejmaztec

He probably rolled away and they're still trying to catch up with him.

Yep, nothing on Reuters or AP about this.

We will only know Kim Jong-Un's fate for sure when a new picture of him looking at things emerges.

I love how Reuters said the rumour is gathering pace because US outlets have reported on it. And themselves. Heh.

Good.

A nice little photo of him pointing at the hole in his head would clinch it for me.

I liked this part

Twitter is also reporting that ‘Jonas Brothers are the best band,’” Matt Binder wrote.

Cant be surprised by this, they have a reputation to protect.

The first rule of a coup is to promise the people everything and then turn around and be even worse than the last chap so if it's true the North Koreans are even more fooked than they were.:(

More internment camps, death camps and famine and poverty more than likely on the way.

Don't like him or the regime.

Our Dear Leader who art in China.
Hallowed be thy name,
Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in N. Korea
Give us this day our ration of bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
and those who trespass in N. Korea
lead us not into temptation of consumer electronics
but deliver us from capitalism.

Amen.

Well they killed his Daddy, so it makes sense that he is next.

If there was a coup the coupists would have taken over the TV and Twitter, so obviously it didn't happen.

If it's a coup it's likely to have been carried out by DPRK officials unhappy with the direction that Kim Jong Un wanted to take the country. It's a step backwards if this is true.

The internet would take a while, since North Korea has none except some severely restricted encyclopedia websites for students and some email. Nothing else, it's not like China where it's just censored. Only Pyongang has telephone lines and electricity.

Someone over on Politics.ie said it was on the cnn newsfeed, also reports saying that P.L.A have entered North Korea.
