Yes, if it's true - and there's a strong chance it is - it's appalling. If it's true, I think it's reasonable to assume that the allegations of the porn film are untrue: they'll have been executed for being politically unsound, or just because Kim decided to end an ongoing affair, or something like that. While their being executed for something that they probably didn't do, and which isn't a crime in most places, is appalling, I think the worst thing is something that's common across North Korea - their families being imprisoned because of one family member being found guilty of a crime. It's an extraordinarily unfair way to treat a society.

World media all over the map on Kim's condition, from cold dead to expected to make a public appearance soon, and many points in between. He did miss today's annual celebration of the founding of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army. But U.S., Russian, and Chinese officials discounting reports of his ill health, and other typical signs of leadership transition are absent.
South Korea still adamant that Kim is alive and well, and likely staying near Wonsan where he has a luxury compound. Other sources remain quite varied. So, what is TMZ's 'false positive' rate on its many celebrity death announcements?
