WHAT SHALL WE CALL YOU TODAY, DEAR LEADER?
The Sun of the 21st Century, the Eternal Sun, the Guardian Deity of the Planet, the Sun of Socialism, and the Ever-Victorious General.

These are just a few of many titles and phrases used to refer to North Korea's enigmatic leader, Kim Jong-Il.

The North's state-run Korean Central Broadcasting Station says a total of 1,200 titles and phrases have been created and used to refer to Kim. "Prominent leaders from 160 nation across the world have used at least 1,200 tiles to honor our Great General (Kim Jong-Il)," it said in a recent report.
Given the painting that accompanies this piece, I wonder if "Neo" is among the 1,200 titles.

UPDATE: Flying Yangban provides insight into the "true nature" of the Dear Leader/Eternal Sun/looks good in black Neo dude.
