If you’re a follower of The Onion, then you’re also probably familiar with the repository of schadenfreude known as Literally Unbelievable, whose curator pulls together unfortunate examples of people mistaking the satirical rag’s articles for sincere stories.
Now we can add to that list China’s state-run newspaper, People’s Daily, whose editors seem to have fallen for The Onion‘s endorsement of Kim Jong Un as 2012’s sexiest man alive. The Communist Party’s official mouthpiece put the honorific straight on its homepage, despite the fact that the original article lumps Kim in with such luminaries as Bashar al-Assad, Bernie Madoff, and the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski.
