Pyongyang, December 23 (KCNA) -- Fresh fish associated with leader Kim Jong Il's deep concern began to be supplied to the Pyongyang citizens seized with grief at his demise.

Great Comrade Kim Jong Un took a special measure to transport fresh fish to Pyongyang in time and supply them to the citizens.

Both salespersons and inhabitants were deeply moved by Kim Jong Il's deep care for the citizens.

Ku Ok Sun, a 62-year-old woman, told KCNA:

"I did not know that leader Kim Jong Il had paid deep concern to the fish supply to the Pyongyang citizens until his last days when he was staying in train.

This fish makes me sorely miss him.

I will get over the grief at his demise and do something to relieve respected Comrade Kim Jong Un of his heavy burdens."

A saleswoman, Kim Ran Hui (26), said, "I am deeply moved by leader Kim Jong Il's deep concern for the fish supply to Pyongyang citizens."

An inhabitant, Kim Suk Yong (32), said:

"When receiving these pollacks and herrings, I was sorely missing leader Kim Jong Il. I feel my heart rent because he passed away during his uninterrupted field guidance tour for the happiness of our people. I will not give way simply to sorrow. I will never forget his deep care for our people. I will try to contribute to the building of a thriving nation, remaining faithful to respected Comrade Kim Jong Un."

That dead fish is probably smarter than Kim Jong-Il for a matter of fact.

@123Jaxjax They are probably crying because they are scared of the system. If they run around happy they may be picked up by police.

@Suppeelsker xD...well, I graduated about a year ago, and I don't need my biology-knowledge anymore, so I probably forgot. Plus I'm German, which means I learned everything in german, so I'm not really used to the english terms.

And I'm not trying to convert anyone, don't worry. ;)

@oOPrettywinxOo I thought an A-student would know that :P I'm more of a B-student, lol. Yeah, yeah, people should believe in whatever they want, as long as they don't try to convert me or other pagans ;D

[oOPrettywinxOo]

@Suppeelsker Yes. Okay. Is that really relevant here? I'm not even that religious, I'm Christian, yes, and I do belive in God but I don't go to Church every sunday or whatever. Actually, I had Biology as one of the two major subjects for my HS-graduation-exams. And I was an A-student. I just don't remember everything in my life. The point in what I said is...we shouldn't fight over Religion. Opinions on Religion differ.

It's important to agree to disagree.

@oOPrettywinxOo Donkeys and horses can prodce offspring capable of living too, that does not mean that they belong to the same "race" (they are different species). They can't get fertile offspring though. I guess biology isn't that easy for religious people :P

Poor peaple! Are they all genuinely crazy, or just utterly brainwashed? The entire country seems like a kindergarden, with clueless toddlers of all ages bowing to top bully Kim.

Scary and pathetic.

Do other North Koreans get fish too for this occasion? There are millions of North Koreans suffering from famine and 2 million plus North Koreans have already died from starvation.
