HUSKER 37 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Umm..Why is there a GIANT at Kim Jong Il's funeral? A sharp-eyed user of the social news site Reddit spotted this giant among the bystanders during Kim Jong-Il's funeral procession. Is this a genetically-modified superwarrior, or just a famous North Korean basketball player? At first glance I thought this picture of yesterday's insane funeral procession must have been photoshopped, either by a mischievous Reddit user or North Korea itself. After all, North Korea was just caught erasing an unsightly camera crew from another picture of the procession. Maybe the propaganda people were bored and wanted to freak everyone out with a fake giant. But when I looked up the original photo released by the Associated Press, there the guy is towering over the crowd. He's real. Reddit users speculate that the man is 7' 9" North Korean celebrity giant Ri Myung Hung. Once named the tallest man in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records, Ri is North Korea's only internationally famous basketball player. He tried to play in the NBA in the late '90s, but was prohibited by the State Department, probably because they knew he'd destroy all our comparatively miniature American basketball players. Here's a short about him.This seems more reasonable than my first guess: a short North Korean standing on another short North Korean's shoulders under a big trenchcoat. Link to comment
husker_hurdler Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Watching the video from the funeral last week and in 1994 was irrie similar. NBC made the assunption that the hsysterical crying was staged. Link to comment

Excel Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 That guy is super tall, which is weird because I watched this doc on N. Korea last week and they showed these soccer games between North Korean defectors living in Seoul and native South Koreans. The South Koreans were l something like 3-4 inches taller due to diet alone...I guess he's tall for other reasons though. Link to comment
