    The world’s leading online satirical newspaper, The Onion, wrote a piece on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un being the sexiest man alive. You don’t have to know the publication is satire to work out that was a joke. Unless you’re the official voice of the Chinese Communist Party..

    It’s so good. Listen to this, from the Wall Street Journal:

    The official voice of the Chinese Communist Party appears to have been had.

    The People’s Daily newspaper, which for more than six decades has sternly spouted the party line, on Tuesday posted on its website a 55-photo slideshow dedicated to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Eun. The occasion: The satirical newspaper the Onion earlier this month declared the double-chinned Mr. Kim the “sexiest man alive for 2012.”

    The slideshow – which begins with a photo of Mr. Kim astride a dappled gray, looking stoically into the distance – quotes liberally from the Onion and offers no evidence that a tongue is anywhere in the vicinity of a cheek. “With his devastatingly handsome, round face, his boyish charm, and his strong, sturdy frame, this Pyongyang-bred heartthrob is every woman’s dream come true,” the text below the slideshow says, citing the Onion.

    It’s the kind of thing the ANC would get excited about if they spotted an article about Zuma being the sexiest man alive. And they wouldn’t doubt it for a second.

    Bless.

    UPDATE: The publication seems to have removed the article, following global ridicule. Fair enough.

    West make joke!

    West not funny!
