He's in a coma? I didn't hear that. I've been pretty buried at work today and it just eased s bit. So, do we know why he's in a coma and how he came to be in that condition? That chubby man in charge of NK should be made to pay for his sins. He destroys lives for his personal wellbeing. I hope his day comes.
