OHAI GUIZ, I heard you were leaving everybody blogs on The Murray Report so I thought I would leave you one since you were leaving everyone else one

Kim Jong-il has been declared a fashion icon. 

It’s not uncommon to view movie stars, basketball players, and models as fashion icons, especially considering that they can easily afford to look their very best.

It is, however, quite unusual to bestow the title of ‘fashion icon’ to an authority figure, let alone the world’s most brutal and nonconformist dictator. Yet according to the North Korean government, Kim Jong-il is exactly that—a fashion icon.

A report released Wednesday, April 8, through North Korea’s communist-party newspaper Rodong Sinmun claimed that Kim Jong-il’s sense of style—including a zippered tunic, matching trousers, and, of course, the infamous sunglasses—is a “global fashion trend.” (Telegraph)

Their exact statement was, “The Great General, who is always wearing the modest suit while working, leaves a deep impression on people’s mind. That is because his image as a great man is so outstanding.” (Newser)

Plus according to the report, an unidentified French fashion expert who backs their statement said, “[The] Kim Jong-il mode, which is now spreading expeditiously worldwide, is something unprecedented in the world’s history.” He basically made it sound as if the entire world’s fashion sense hovers around Jong-il’s unique albeit rather lackluster style.

The report goes on to declare, “People around the world are attracted to and following not only the jacket our Great Leader is wearing, but also his attitude, facial expressions, hand gestures, and even his handwriting.” (ABC News)

The report ends by proclaiming that Kim Jong-il’s zippered jacket is “the most valuable and noble item” in the world.

Facebook founder comes under fire over conversation transcript

A leaked instant messenger transcript obtained from Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of social networking site Facebook, has been causing a stir among the 400 million users who actively use the site. In the transcript, Zuckerberg mocks users who joined his growing website community.

The leak comes after the user community and social media analysts have questioned the company's stance on privacy, which is becoming an increasingly frustrating issue as they try to gain more users.



Business Insider broke the story, publishing the transcript of the conversation causing the controversy. Here is a snipped of the transcript that Murray Report has obtained.

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuck: Just ask.

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don't know why.

Zuck: They "trust me"

Zuck: Dumb f***s.

Facebook has not denied the transcript's authenticity, and replied by saying that "the privacy and security of our users' information is paramount to us here at Facebook".

The Sydney Morning Herald's Stephen Hucheon commented that the leak underscores Mr Zuckerberg's position as the internet's 'favorite whipping boy', and that in January, Zuckerberg had told an audience that privacy was 'no longer a social norm'.

At the heart of complaints, Hucheon claims, is that the default setting for privacy on Facebook has changed, and that users are mostly unaware of how to change them. At present, all profiles are immediately set to a fairly public setting by default.

The New York Times calculated that Facebook's privacy policy is now longer than the constitution, and the company has reportedly called a privacy 'overview meeting' on Friday to discuss these matters.
