callippo Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 it's probably just about 3 dudes in Seoul that went to the mall printed out a few t-shirts and walked around town wearing them for a couple of hours.

JFKvsNixon Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Its not news yet and probably fake but there seems to be a lot of talk cropping up about this. http://gawker.com/5884033/ http://news.yahoo.com/twitter-weibo-light-kim-jong-un-death-rumors-170718049.html http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/10/idUS232818209920120210 http://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2012/02/10/kim-jong-un-dead-thats-the-rumor/ From one of your links. Official Internet Rule: Any (Chinese) Twitter post that begins with "according to reliable sources" is almost certainly fake. The Chinese micro blogging site, Weibo was one of the sources that started the rumour was quoted as saying: According to reliable sources, North Korean leader [Kim Jong-Un was killed] in Beijing in February 10 2012, at 2 o'clock and 45 minutes. Unknown persons broke into his residence shot and were subsequently shot and killed by the bodyguard. So this rumour looks to be based upon nothing more than idle internet gossip.
