China’s People’s Daily falls for Onion spoof naming Kim Jong Un “Sexiest Man Alive.” Apparently nobody told them The Onion is a comedy website, we get that, but at some point during the process of asembling their own 55-photo-spread of Dear Leader (55 photos!), nobody noticed the guy wasn’t sexy? Really?

The page linked has changed, but Google translate is doing a cracker of a job keeping me up to date on events in China. For instance:
We are also very anxious Shijingshan mysterious loud noise chase source District Publicity Department:
Mo Yan ranked writer Rich List Youth Report deforestation were listed as fugitives
Shenzhen "Housing Secretary" case informants was arrested for allegedly "false registered capital crimes"
Ruiying assessment San Haosheng because they can not tears Huaxi Village Forbidden City cited friends marvel
What will they think of next?!?
No, no, no - it was "unsexiest man alive", they misread it...
I checked Facebook at work for a second and saw a bunch of people saying "No, China, we're laughing WITH you". Didn't know what all that was about. Now that I do...."Yeah, China, I'm laughing AT you".
They would believe it if they were told Hillary won it.
Didn't the Lame Stream media do the same thing with "Dear Leader" and pull it off? Obviously being totally stupid is a world wide phenomenon.
They knew it was fake.
But just like here, if its a story about the 'Dear Leader' you don't ask questions, you run with it.
If IHTM ran an Obama is the Sexiest President...EVER! The hit count would be like a quadrillion.
And we'd have a laugh riot!
Perhaps Moobs are in, in China.
He's the sexiest man in the world as far as every North Korean is concerned, else they die.
