UPDATE: Well that was deflating. Apparently Kim Jong-un just officially named himself “supreme leader”. We thought that was already his title, but whatever. Anyway, keep the suggestions coming along. What SHOULD he have announced?
Quick! Get your comments in now! You only have 19 minutes left! Now just 18!
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is set to make a major announcement at midday, Pyongyang time, which is 1pm here on the Australian east coast.
The betting in The Punch office is that he’ll be banging on about something to do do with either:
a) his wife
b) bombs, possibly directed at South Korea
c) He is set to enter Eurovision
d) North Korea has won all of the gold medals at the London Olympics
e) North Korea has a new jersey sponsor (don’t laugh, AFL clubs make “special announcements” all the time to tell the enthralled media stuff like this)
f) all of the above
Now you’ve only got 16 minutes. What do YOU think is going in North Korea?
