Kim Jong-Il birthday celebration: A list of propaganda for the Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Il doesn't let death get in the way of a 70th birthday celebration to remember. The country is rolling out presents of propaganda for the people ahead of the Dear Leader's birthday Feb. 16, dubbed the "Day of the Shining Star." Some of the offerings: Statues and slogans An 18-foot statue of Kim Jong-Il galloping next to his father was revealed this week. Another towering bronze statue is currently in the works, and slogans of Kim's will be carved into the sides of mountains.
