A dramatic picture captures the last moments of Kim Jong-un as he's led away to be shot for crimes against humanity by North Korean officers, in a surprise military coup earlier today:

OK, sorry - here's the real caption:
Closely escorted, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visits the Command of Large Combined Unit 671 of the Korean People's Army in this undated picture released by the North's KCNA in Pyongyang, on January 22, 2012.
From an In Focus gallery Kim Jong Un Looking at Things. No, not an original name.
Keen followers of this site - of whom there are many - will have seen some of these already.
Very 'cordial' relationship with Sweet Yung Thang, there on his right, from the looks of that hand holding...;)

Why on earth would any totalitarian leader allow such a photo to be released? Lots of possible interpretations, but the only ones I can think of are negative.
And something I've always wondered ... what's with the heavily padded unis NK soldiers wear? Is it to keep warm or to make their emaciated bodies look more robust?

Another tyrant is nabbed, albeit it long overdue:
