North Korea’s Dear Leader likes to look at things.

From the BBC news profile:

Kim Jong-il (undated image, released by Korean Central News Agency in August 2008)
Sunglasses and military outfits are Kim Jong-il’s trademark
The little that is known about Kim Jong-il, North Korea’s leader, conjures up a caricature of a diminutive playboy, a comic picture at odds with his brutal regime.
Diplomats and escaped dissidents talk of a vain, paranoid, cognac-guzzling hypochondriac.
He is said to wear platform shoes and favour a bouffant hairstyle in order to appear taller than his 1.57m (5ft 3in).
But analysts are undecided whether his eccentricities mask the cunning mind of a master manipulator or betray an irrational madman.
Mr Kim may well encourage the myth-making surrounding him precisely in order to keep the Western world guessing. North Korea has little to bargain with, and ignorance breeds fear.
