Is Kim Jong-il a ghost?

» by in: Korea (North)

Either that or the photo is the product of some very poor work with photoshop. Note the lack of shadows.

I’ll leave it to readers to judge the photo’s authenticity. Those lamposts also seem out of place.

    Kim Jong Il is obviously in fighting shape; he's able to lift that that tiny little man right up in the air by the nostril.

    Verdict: Not Photoshopped

    It was taken in the shade with a flash.

    There is a shadow of the Dear Leader on the small wall under his jacket and in front of his legs that is consistent with a diffused flash mounted on top of the camera.

    Besides any Photoshoper who gave him the nose-picking pose would wind up in a camp.
