Dog eating dog tradition

Did Kim Jong-un throw  his uncle to the dogs?  The troubling part is that many have not considered this  just an absurd joke. Throwing someone to the dogs!  Turning a bad dream in reality.  Killing the metaphor by making it real.

Multi-perv

What is a multi-perv? Who is a multi-perv? How many faces perversion can have? Can one corrupt nature in several ways at a time? Sounds exciting, but logically impossible. Just a trick to create publicity. Like multi-grain bread. Or 3-d screens.  Can one be multi fake?  A multi scam or a multi platitude, I presume.
