      Even the readers of several British tabloids have cast doubt on a source-based story claiming that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un executed one of his generals in a piranha-filled tank.      \n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The eye-grabbing headline first appeared in the Daily Star. The tabloid cited "sources" as saying that Kim executed one of his generals in a manner worthy of a James Bond movie, by throwing him into a fish tank infested with piranhas. In the 1977 film 'The Spy Who Loved Me', the evil Karl Stromberg fed his assistant to a shark and attempted to repeat the trick on Agent 007.<\/p>\n
                           Also on rt.com             Fake news? Executed North Korean seems to resurface alive, another shows up at concert                            <\/a><\/p>\n
The tank with the carnivorous fish is reportedly part of Kim's Ryongsong Residence, a luxury mansion in northern Pyongyang.<\/p>\n
The report does not provide the names of the sources or the general, but is replete with gory detail \u2013 it claims that before being thrown to the piranhas, the general's arms and torso were slashed with knives. Whether he drowned, bled to death, or was killed by the piranhas (or whether any of it actually happened), is impossible to tell.<\/p>\n
Readers of the Daily Star and other British tabloids that pounced on the story, however, found it hard to take at face value. Instead, a flurry of memes ensued.<\/p>\n
Others predicted that the general, whoever he might be, will show up in public soon "after his well-deserved holidays."<\/em><\/p>\n
\nSure, but we'll see him back after his well deserved holidays.<\/p>\n

Some suggested equipping the "sharks with frickin' laser beams,"<\/em> referencing the 1997 spy parody 'Austin Powers'.<\/p>\n
"Were the laser beam sharks recharging?"<\/em> one person asked.<\/p>\n

Another quipped that it is a step up from other over-the-top execution techniques previously attributed to Kim, like the notorious anti-aircraft gun.<\/p>\n
\nIt beats being blasted to death with an anti-aircraft gun any day!<\/p>\n

Some, however, were genuinely upset at the British medias eager painting of Kim as a comic book villain based on unverifiable sources.<\/p>\n
\nOnce again, MSM is pushing BS 'news' about the DPRK. This time, they're claiming Kim Jong-Un ordered someone be executed by\u2026throwing them into a tank of piranhas. <\/p>\n
