For three generations now, the dynastic Kims who have ruled North Korea for more than six decades have been a rich source for parodies. Before Kim Jong Il died in December 2011, his trademark pompadour hairdo attracted its share of attention. Kim Jong Il and his favorite parka in 2009. And just recently, The Onion not only named his son Kim Jong Un the "sexiest man alive" but did so with such conviction that China's People's Daily Online picked up the story and added its own tribute, a comprehensive photo gallery. So we approached this latest story with some caution. To mark the first anniversary of Kim Jong Il's death, the official Korean Central News Agency produced this three-minute paean to Kim's favorite parka, a puffy, off-white number that he wore when making field inspections of troops and factories and farms.
