The internet has been flooded with photos of thousands of North Koreans gathering to mourn the passing of their dear leader Kim Jong Il. But is that really why all these people are crying? Turns out, no, it’s not.

Dictator Kim Jong Il fell victim to a death hoax this week, but have no fear the midget despot is doing just fine. To quell speculation, he tweeted a holiday photo of himself alive and well. Also, in an official statement, Kim Jong Il expressed his sympathy to the family of rocker Jon Bon Jovi, who was reportedly found in a coma in a New Jersey hotel and not breathing.

Ever vigilant to protect that which he has misappropriated, The Incredible Infringement Man, who made his debut in MAD #438, is preparing to do battle and crush a thieving upstart superhero. As The Incredible Infringement Man once said, “With great power comes truth, justice and the American way!"
