I don't know if you should be going down this road dude; I mean, the K's get kind of defensive any time I mention the North. The sense of humour is different here; irony isn't a big thing at all.

On the other hand, if you're happy enough to go with it, you could mention something about Kim being a movie critic, presenting the NK Oscars, that kind of thing. Did you know that he kidnapped the Asian Steven Spielberg a few years back, in order to make a movie?

This really won't go over well. Make fun of 2MB instead.

- 20 years in a leadership role.
- Directed foreign operations.

Seriously, don't do this.

It;s already done and it's gone over just fine.

Man people are sensitive...

I'm looking for refinements and ways to make it better.

If you're sure it went over fine, go with it!

If anything, I would do a few minutes research and substitute some of the joke qualifications with his real ones, which are funny enough.

Like the other poster mentioned, there is the time he kidnapped a famous S Korean director (Shin Sang-ok) AND his ex-wife, actress Choi Eun-hee.

So, you could do something like this

FILM PRODUCER, 1976- Present

As well as producing hundreds of brilliant films, one or two of which have won minor awards at Communism's finest film festivals (back before the tragic fall of the iron curtain), Kim Jong Il as also managed to recruit the finest of cinematic talent from the Korean Pensinsula...

Thanks, Kaypea. That's a good idea.

I'm also thinking for the skills section I will be including 'ability to walk in platform shoes.'

[Kaypea]

Yes, he has that runway walk!

He also modernized hairstyles in North Korea with his disco Stu bouffant. Maybe we can say that the man-perm is the DPRK's main contribution to life on the peninsula.

And, he was a fashion designer, too. He revamped the DPRK uniform.

And, he encouraged girls and women to wear more make-up, so I guess you could put aesthetician or Commander of Fierceness on the list. I'm reading a book on the man right now...
