I don't understand why people would hail the King this much.

Any person who gets that much adoration so that people stand up for him in the cinemas before a movie starts where they play propaganda of how 'great' he is, and anyone who allows people to be put in jail for insulting him/her or his/her dog, is in my opinion a very bad and self-obsessed person. I also don't buy into the official story that the King's brother had committed suicide. It worries me that people are so gullible and easily submit themselves to their rulers.
