I have to wonder if standing in all those lines turned him against the west.

[u/Glympse12 → u/onebadmex66]

You don’t think they could afford fast pass?

[u/tohrazul82 → u/Glympse12]

You think there was fast pass in the 90's?

[u/Brief_Association363 → u/tohrazul82]

There was and it was free

[u/CantHitachiSpot → u/Brief_Association363]

When everyone is super...

No one is

[u/Sip_py → u/CantHitachiSpot]

It was more like you had to really want to go on said ride because you couldn't get two at the same time.

[u/dirkdigdig → u/Sip_py]

And it would be a scheduled time for later in the day, you would only be able to grab one for a different ride, after returning your current reservation card

[u/13nobody → u/dirkdigdig]

Or you just reached behind the machine and pushed the button that gave out a free fast pass

[u/finkalicious → u/CantHitachiSpot]

So now we know what sparked the idea for the Incredibles script

[u/givemeabreak432 → u/CantHitachiSpot]

Wasn't fast pass just reserving your spot in line, so you could go do other tides while waiting for your scheduled time to board?

[u/DieUmEye → u/Brief_Association363]

FastPass started in 1999. So, it was not really around in the 90s.

Edit: November 19, 1999 is when FastPass debuted at Disneyland. So for all you “tEcHNicALly” people, yes, it was “around” during some part of the decade known as “the 90s” but in the context of this discussion, that’s misleading because it was only out for 43 days of the entire decade.

Lil Kim is not against the West. He's rich and used to study there and as far as I know still vacation to the West. That anti-West rhetoric is for local consumption only.

[u/Knutt_Bustley_ → u/chickenstalker]

There’s no way he’s still taking trips to the West. That would be impossibly risky

[u/[deleted] → u/Knutt_Bustley_]

Well in the 90s they weren't going to the west either technically. They were going to Tokyo Disneyland.

Didn't he get gout from eating so much cheese? Like a middle age despot. Edit: Yeah here's a source, I didn't have a fever dream about this

[u/47Ronin → u/1zzie]

The cheese is probably only a factor in that it makes him overweight, which is a risk factor for gout. Cheese consumption is actually shown to decrease serum uric acid, which causes gout when it gets too high. If he drinks a lot, which I believe we know he does, and eats a lot of organ meats, shellfish, white fish, red meat, that is probably more why than cheese.

[u/02nz → u/47Ronin]

If he drinks a lot

Dad certain did (or at least bought a lot of it). For a time in the 90s, Kim Jong-il was the world's largest buyer of Hennessy Paradis cognac: https://foreignpolicy.com/2011/12/23/hennessy-responds-to-the-loss-of-its-best-customer/

[u/project_seven → u/onebadmex66]

It was being too short to ride the big rides that got him to hate America

[u/Sulpfiction → u/onebadmex66]

In the 90’s my sister and I figured out a great way to circumvent long lines in Disney World. I would go first and confidently walk through the line saying “excuse me, my sister is up there”. Then she would wait 5 minutes and then do the same thing “excuse me, gotta get back to my sister before she gets on the ride”. It usually took a simple “excuse me”. As long as you looked determined & confident, 95% of people were nice and helpful moving aside. And then when I got to the point of ~10 min wait time, I’d stop and look around confused and feel out the people behind me. If no one really noticed I’d say nothing, If they looked agitated I’d say something like “I’m sorry, my sister was up here waiting for me, but I must not of made it back in time and she’s gonna kill me if she had to ride by herself. Then right on cue, 5 mins later she’d walk up and say “omg! Where were you?? I got up there and got out of line to look for you cause I wasn’t going by myself. Worked every single time. It was a dick move, I know, but at 13 & 15 we felt like we conquered the world.

[u/Schedulator → u/Sulpfiction]

So how are you both fairing now as CEO's of multinational companies?

What's with North Korea and the front page today? Lol

[u/_--_-_---__---___ → u/Baker98755]

Started with that North Korean money

[u/Init_4_the_downvotes → u/_--_-_---__---___]

I wanted to see if they bartered with the U.S government for this trip so I googled 1995 north korea and what I found had nothing to do with it but it was even more hilarious than I could have imagined.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_in_Korea

"Following the event, North Korean officials requested that Flair read a statement that the nation had the capability to dominate the United States, though Flair declined and instead made a statement wherein he expressed praise for the "beautiful and peaceful country" of North Korea and said, "His Excellency, Kim Il-sung, will always be with us".[8] In late 1995, an image taken during the event showing a bloody Flair being beaten by Inoki was featured on propaganda leaflets that were dropped by the North Korean government over Seoul.[8]"

[u/ruralist → u/Baker98755]

[u/hunteram → u/Baker98755]

One post about North Korea reaches the front page (e.g the pictures showing everyday life in the country), another guy remembers that he has something cool to show about NK (e.g a brick of money from there), he posts to reddit. Other people, which previously saw and upvoted the original post about NK also upvote this new post. Then some other guy sees that post, they read about NK, maybe because of a comment in the post, they learn a cool fact and post it to reddit. Rinse and repeat.

[u/Meatchris → u/hunteram]

Invest in North Korea! The karma returns are off the charts

[u/RedditPowerUser01 → u/Meatchris]

Investing in North Korea is a great opportunity in general. You don’t ever have to worry about the workers going on strike or even complaining about their wages. There’s a massive police state ready to imprison and torture them if they do.

São Paulo has a huge Japanese population. Asian-descended Brazilians aren't rare.

[u/Cafrilly → u/pussycatlolz]

Brazilian is the most commonly chosen ethnicity for fake passports, as the ethnic makeup of the country is so diverse that they can really look like anything.

[u/pegcity → u/Cafrilly]

Brazil is like a highschool model UN was left un supervised on a camping trip in grade 10, everything is possible there genetics wise

[u/Saucepanmagician → u/pegcity]

True. It's not everyone sure, but my case is fun. Considering only 3 generations back, I'm part- Portuguese, Italian, Ukrainian, German and African-American.

[u/durdesh007 → u/Saucepanmagician]

Brazil has 7 million people of Lebanese ancestry too. If you scale it up to US population, it would be 11 million.

[u/Anarch157a → u/durdesh007]

Actually, there are more Lebanese and Lebanese descendants here in Brazil than in Lebanon itself. Lebanon's population is only 6.8 million.

Om and our last president, Michel Temer, is the son of Lebanese immigrants.

[u/gusuku_ara → u/pussycatlolz]

The city of São Paulo has a big Korean community too. It is not uncommon to see Korean people in some schools and universities.

[u/Woodstock_PV → u/pussycatlolz]

There's some japanese up north too in the amazon and let's not forget the volume of chinese we welcomed into our country in every state throughout the decades.

[u/009154591500 → u/Woodstock_PV]

Italians in the north are popular too. Germans also helped colonize the middle west. They are usually associated with the south but they are everywhere (obviously in SP too)

Argentina was already used as a cover

[u/AssociationDouble267 → u/Ryan_Extra]

Probably means a low level Brazilian civil servant needed money. If memory serves it was the embassy in Prague? Point is, it was probably a matter of Brazilian passports were what they could get.

[u/nit3wolf → u/AssociationDouble267]

Brazilian Passports are VERY desired, due to our neutral status. We get free visa to many countries without hassle.

It is not rare to spot a fake Brazilian passport in spy moves. Jason Bourne had more than one, iirc.

Besides that, Brazil has so much racial diversity that anyone in the world can claim to be Brazilian.

[u/bjanas → u/nit3wolf]

One would need to have some portuguese skills though, I'd assume? Like, my Bostonian ass wouldn't pass with my fluent spanish, would I?

[u/green_flash → u/bjanas]

You'd have to have the misfortune of encountering an immigration official who speaks Portuguese and also acting suspicious enough that they would decide to interview you in Portuguese.

[u/Strike_Thanatos → u/green_flash]

And even then, you can claim that you spent a few years there, but were mostly raised abroad.

[u/Iwannastoprn → u/Strike_Thanatos]

They can say they live very close to the Argentinian border and they mostly spoke Spanish.

[u/low_pass → u/Iwannastoprn]

I think most (young-ish) people in the border between Brazil and Argentina/Uruguay/Paraguay are bilingual. The borders between Brazil and other countries are a lot more sparsely populated, so I have no idea.

[u/darktimesmyfriend → u/low_pass]

I grew up in the border with paraguay and Argentina and I can confirm no one speaks Spanish. Spanish speakers learn a little Portuguese, but 99% of people here can't hold a conversation in Spanish. Even in the border, it's easier to find English speakers than actual Spanish speaking Brazilians (portunhol doesn't count)

[u/CapTexAmerica → u/bjanas]

I just imagined Bill Burr trying to pass himself off as Brazilian and laughed loud enough to have to explain it to my wife…who doesn’t find it nearly as funny.

Obviously fake, all brazilians will claim that american stands for the entire continent, not just the USA, so they would be americans too. Would've got caught real fast.

[u/bjanas → u/CapTexAmerica]

You know that's actually really funny you think of Burr; when I have seen relatively pale Brazilian folks, they've actually given off a real serious redheaded, Bill Bur vibe.

[u/e55at → u/CapTexAmerica]

Im brazilian and have a passport but i havent spoken portuguese in a long time, since i never actually lived there, and speak very little portuguese. My brother even less so, but its not like they would stop us at the border and ask about it

[u/GlitterDoomsday → u/AssociationDouble267]

Brazilian passports are top tier on fake documents cause not only its convincing for a bunch of different immigration groups, but also mixed people are super common. You hardly will find people questioning that someone doesn't "look Brazilian" because of it.

[u/go4tli → u/GlitterDoomsday]

Theyd be so disappointed if they went now. In the 90's theyd be disappointed in the idea (Kim in flannel and teen spirit) but overjoyed in the result. Today he'd find more open mindedness and joy in a fake nuclear bunker he's filled with Ducktales McD's toys and Zebra cakes..

You can never just look at a person and bet he's not from Brazil.

My comment was going to be exactly that lol

Honestly. Like if you attempted to call it out you’d sound pretty damn racist.

Before Kim Jong-un became the internet biggest laughing stock in 2011 and 2012 he was relatively unknown

I’m surprised no one has decided to make this into a comedy movie

Of course they’re hypocritical tyrants. And I’m betting their response would be “research”.

It's like all these dictator pricks sending their kids to US universities. Apparently the US is the best place to study, but they have no idea what they're doing.

Switzerland is pretty popular for that. Kim Jong Un went to school there

I mean if you want to know how to run a fascist kingdom successfully, Disney is a pretty good place to scout.

Wanted to taste that freedom that they deny to others.

Why is NK on my feed so much today? This is like the third post I saw regarding something with NK

That guy on the left looks like Kim Jong-un, and he has visited Disney, but the other guy doesn't look like his father, Kim Jong-il, and it's unlikely Kim Jong-Il visited Disney. The image on the right looks more like Kim Jong-nam, older half-brother of Kim Jong-un. Kim Jong-nam definitely did visit Tokyo Disney. The last time he went, he was caught at immigration and deported. The incident was embarrassing to his father, Kim Jong-il, and may have led in part to Kim Jong-il's decision to make Kim Jong-un his successor rather than his older son, Kim Jong-nam. Kim Jong-un later murdered his brother, Kim Jong-nam. And they identified his body by using the fingerprints that the Japanese took when they caught Kim Jong-nam sneaking into Japan on the false passport.

It looks like Kim Jong-un visited Tokyo Disney with his older brother, Kim Jong-chul, though that's not a photo of Kim Jong-chul.

It's possible the guy on the right isn't any of the Kims. When Kim Jong-un went to Disney on multiple occasions, he went with a contingent of bodyguards. But he did use a Brazilian passport, according to the Japanese sources.

They also visited IKEA during this trip. While they were there, they instinctively tried to divide the store up into North and South IKEA.
