According to the North Koreans allegations that Kim Jong Il was sick were simply falsifications and that "Western media has reported falsehoods before". They deny sickness despite the leader's absence from many important ceremonies, like a parade commemorating the country's founding 60 years ago. South Korean intelligence reported that he had collapsed and stressed the fact he wasn't dead. North Korean news made no hint to the health of Kim, as it is taboo to refer to his health since he's revered as a demi-god.

Everything is always western media lying isn't it? I guess they can't take the fact that people eventually die. It'd be interesting to see what happens when he goes. I'd like to see what his replacement would do.
