Kim Jong Boom: Here's where to buy North Korean dictator-themed condoms and thongs
Kim Jong-un, the 38-year-old Supreme Leader of North Korea famous for his obsession with nuclear weapons, despot-like rule has suddenly been associated with something equally bizarre like his food habits. Despite the brutality and inhumane treatment inflicted by him on the people of his country, netizens have discovered several 'Kim Jong-un themed merchandise' and they are a riot!
CafePress, an American online clothing store, has been selling thongs with the picture of Jong-un grinning in front of it. The description of this rather unusual piece of clothing mentions that it has been crafted out of 100% combed ringspun cotton and "will make her feel a little more naughty than nice in the most discreet, one-of-a-kind way". The items also take a dig at Jong-un's habits and policies in North Korea.

Novelty condom website sayitwithacondom.com has a prophylactic-themed around the infamous ruler. The product has been wittily titled "Kim Jong Boom" and the packaging features a photo of the grinning dictator. The brand added some dad humor to it and the words "Boom" can be seen written under the picture of Kim Jong-un. "Celebrate the Supreme Leader with his new Boom condom. Artwork printed directly onto white foil condom wrapped. Studies show condoms are 98% effective at preventing pregnancy when used properly. Studies also show North Korea is 98% ineffective at launching missiles." the product description reads. And this is not the end of it either.
An Etsy store even sells sex toys and vibrators that are Jong-un themed. A vibrator with the dictator's photo on it has been trending on the website. The white vibrator features a cartoonized Kim holding a nuclear missile. The product has 10 different speed settings.
Customers looking for less rowdy Kim Jong-un merch online have discovered products such as a Kim Jong-un themed calendar, coffee mugs that depict the dictator and former president of the United States Donald Trump photoshopped into a kissing pose, a miniskirt that has Kim Jong-un's picture on the exterior behind of the skirt along with letters that read "Send Nukes." In fact, the dictator-themed calendar features the tyrannous ruler holding a rose for the month of February. All these products are sold across different online stores and one of the most trending ones is a pair of leggings that has Jong-un's face on it down the seams.
Even a face mask with his face imprinted on it is being sold online and people have commented on how it is quite 'terrifying'. Most people believe that these products are an attempt at dark humor and to diss the infamous leader.
In December 2017, an international war crimes committee confirmed that the dictator had committed all but one of the 11 recognized crimes against humanity. These include murder, extermination, enslavement, forcible transfer, imprisonment, torture, sexual violence, persecution, enforced disappearances, and other inhumane acts.
