The website of the paper of record for China’s authoritarian ruling party regularly features positive reports on its even more authoritarian neighbor, North Korea, and its 28-year old leader Kim Jong Un. This time, however, People’s Daily editors may have been a bit too eager to please.
“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 People’s Daily quoted from the fictitious report, going on to add this line, by the (also fictitious) Onion Style and Entertainment editor Marissa Blake-Zweibel: “He has that rare ability to somehow be completely adorable and completely macho at the same time.”
