Kim Jong-Il Launches Designer Women’s Sunglasses Line


PYONGYANG, North Korea – North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il announced Tuesday the launch of a new women’s sunglasses line for the U.S., European and Asian markets. Kim, who came up with the designs himself, says the line was inspired by his lifelong idol, Jackie Kennedy Onassis.

“I’ve always respected Jackie’s flair for style,” Kim told reporters. “In a way, launching this line is my tribute to her and everything she’s done for women’s fashion.”

Kim, known for sporting shades from high-end designers like Prada and Christian Dior, says he really wanted a design he could call his own. “This is my legacy,” he said. “This is what I’m going to be remembered for.”
