YES, it 4am on a Friday morning and you know what that means! Time for a round of 'Who's your Favourite Dictator?' I've included a small sample, but there's loads I've surely missed so please feel free to add more and elaborate on why they have a place in your heart. Adolf Hitler – Germany: Because it takes a certain class of evil cunt to get his own Moopy smiley. Just ask :sup:. Josef Stalin – USSR: Because you know you would (pre-Purges). Kim Il Sung – North Korea: Because there's not many dictators who can pull off being Eternal President FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE. Also, nice teefs. Kim Jong Il – North Korea: Because he had good hair and was great at looking at things. Iconic puppet. Kim Jong Un – North Korea: Because he has good hair and is great at looking at things. Mao Zedong – China: Because he never let that high hairline stop him from killing more people than Hitler. Now where's his fucking smiley? Benito Mussolini – Italy: Because the man knew how to strike a pose. Mobuto Sese Seko – Zaire: Because if you're going to go on Concorde-flown shopping trip to Paris while stealing every penny you can from your country, you do it in a leopard-print hat. Robert Mugabe – Zimbabwe: Because this bitch has the balls to have that facial hair and not give a shit. May still pose a threat to Makosi Musambasi . Bashar al-Assad – Syria: Because he could give you an eye exam or shoot you in the street. Either/or! Fidel Castro – Cuba: Because he's the dictator all the other dictators think is cool. Apart from Gaddafi. Idi Amin – Uganda: Because African dictators have had to raise their game ever since. Forest Whitaker. U Thein Sein – Myanmar: Because Myanmar is a much sexier name than Burma. Hugo Chavez – Venezuela: Because he was crazy. Crazy like a fox. Muammar Gaddafi – Libya: Because the man was a legendary style icon. Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov – Turkmenistan: Because he has a name that can make Eileen spontaneously orgasm and was the dentist of his predecessor. King Abdullah – Saudi Arabia: Because you can get away with any shit if you're that rich. Islam Karimov – Uzbekistan: Because although he's a bit shit, he is grooming his daughter to take over after him and become the world's only Dictatress . Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo – Equatorial Guinea: Because he's been doing this shit longer than any other current dictator AND he survived a coup lead by Thatcher's son. Bow down bitches. Omar al-Bashir – Sudan: Because when hes not bombing civilians and refugees he looks great in sunglasses and has a winning smile . François 'Papa-Doc' Duvalier – Haiti: Because not many dictators have the necessary panache to declare themselves voodoo gods. Comrade Alexander Lukashenko – Belarus: Because he's a NOTED (according to me) Eurovision fan with an ear for a tune and an eye for a good show. Slobodan Milosevic – Serbia: Because he had a hot accent. Probably. Saddam Hussein – Iraq: Because it's hard not to feel a little bit sorry for him now .
I don't really understand ironic appreciation of dictators. I suppose it's the luxury of living in the West.
If Mariah Carey staged a coup in Burkina Faso, and it can only be a matter of time, you'd be all over it.
Why would Mariah try to take over some HOLE in the WALL like Burkina Faso? Supreme Ruler of the COSMOS daaaahling is the only title befitting the legendary Ms Carey.
I find the Kim dynasty fascinating and have been into North Korea for far longer than everyone else started banging on about it THANK YOU VERY MUCH
OMG, I haven't entered this thread before now but last night I ENTIRELY dreamt that I was on a ferry which kept accidentally dipping under the water and getting me wet (it's a recurring dream- I wish I knew what it meant ) with Mariah Carey and was shielding her from said wet and as a result, when we arrived on the ISLE OF WIGHT (which had been transposed into some sort of opulent EGYPTIAN KINGDOM), it turned out she was a mad ruler who could turn people to stone with a blink and that she was going to spare me as I shielded her from said water and I spent the rest of the dream trying desperately to work out some way of OVERTHROWING HER The weirdest thing is, NONE of that is made up
Stalin, because I want to go back in time and change him while he's still in his poetry and fetching scarves stage. Even tho u killed half my family, yr still the one 4 me <3
I don't find any of the dictators as iconic as murderers - especially female mass killers. None of these can rock oversized 80s glasses like Ro' West.
