When Kim Jong-un ordered the execution of his uncle Chang Song-thaek last week, the state news agency put out a press release that included statements like the following:

“Despicable human scum Jang, who was worse than a dog, perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery in betrayal of such profound trust and warmest paternal love shown by the party and the leader for him.”

And:

“…he behaved so arrogantly and insolently as unwillingly standing up from his seat and half-heartedly clapping, touching off towering resentment of our service personnel and people.”

I don’t want to make light of the fact that a man was executed, but it’s interesting to see how much effort the authors of the press release (which you can read in full here) go out of their way to throw the most extreme insults Jang’s way.

So not only was Jang put to death by his own nephew, but on top of all that, he has to also go through an international character assassination that makes Satan look like an angel when compared with you.

DAAAAAMN! Talk about thrice-cursed.
