The article posted on the site operated by an American named Paul was entitled “Chop Suey” with the subtitle of “Kim Sun-il gets ILL in this latest terrorist video,” purposely using the word ILL with the same sound of the last character of Kim's name.

The operator also made fun of Kim’s death by writing “stars scream-queen Kim Sun-il” as if the moving picture of the decapitation were a real film. Moreover, he described Kim as a dog-eating Korean.

Kim Young-ryong, a Korean living in South Carolina who tipped us off to the site, said, “All Koreans are feeling shock and anger over Kim’s death now. Then how could a person write such an insulting article? It is so outrageous.”

The following is the article posted on the site:

Chop Suey

Kim Sun Il gets ILL in this latest terrorist video

If political climates were like geographic climates, the weather right now in the Middle East could recently be described as “Cloudy religious agendas with an 80% probability of execution.”

Yes, the world’s favorite masked video darlings, Johnny Jihad and the Allah Ackbars, are back again to put either the “fun” or the “mental” in “fundamentalism” - depends on which deity you pray to, I guess.

Their latest hit video, which has been making noise on all the news networks, stars scream-queen Kim Sun-Il as “The guy who gets his head cut off in the name of a merciful God.”

For us American viewers, the sight of a dog-eating Korean being decapitated doesn’t stir quite the same emotions as wholesome, cracker-ass American “Nearly Headless” Nick Berg getting carved like a Thanksgiving goose, but the sequel is never as good as the original, you know.

Besides, this time around, JJ and the AA’s included actual music in their video - a light, peppy little number about how much they love Allah, and how, through his guidance, all their heathen enemies will be vanquished.

At least, I assume that’s what the song is about - just sounds like a bunch of hooting and hollering to me.
