North Korea Decrees No One Else Can Be Named Kim Jong-un -- ABC News
North Korea has decreed that no one else can have a name that is similar to the name of their dictator Kim Jong-un, and those that have the name Jong-un must get a new name.
Jong-un is a common Korean name for both men and women.
A document dated Jan. 5, 2011 -- a few months after Kim was publicly named as the next heir to his father Kim Jong-il -- recently came to light detailing the Kim's sole claim to the name.
The document instructed officials of the Workers’ party and public security agencies to make sure that people already named Jong-un voluntarily adopt new names, according to South Korea’s national broadcaster KBS.

Somebodies not clapping (behind Kim's left shoulder), he better have special juice or it's the mortar round dance for him.
You know James .... I am willing to bet that someone probably told this officer that he was not clapping .... and he better watch out.
Reminds me of the story I heard of Stalin's applause light he had installed for his Soviet Plenum speeches.
James .... one of the stories that I remember from my father is his description on how they had to sing songs praising Stalin in his school (in Kiev) for all the food that he was giving to them during the height of the Ukraine famine (Stalin was actually giving nothing but taking everything).
During the Russian October crisis of 1993, I was with my uncle (I was acting as his aide) and I had the opportunity to sit at Stalin's desk in his old office in the Kremlin (apparently it is still there untouched) .... I cannot even describe in words the feelings that I had just sitting there at his desk .... the evil imprint in that room is indescribable.
Ah, I can believe it. One of the few reasons I hope for a afterlife is for there to be just punishment for such as him, though what would be appropriate for him is hard to imagine.
