Official Chinese News Website Thinks The Onion is Real
People's Daily, the official state news of the Chinese Communist Party, ran a story about The Onion naming Kim Jong-un the sexiest man alive. People's Daily is known to be very fond of North Korea's dear leader, and didn't realize the story was a joke. They even included their own slideshow of Kim Jong-un in 55 of his "sexiest" poses. Man, how do you choose only 55?
The Onion's story has since been updated to include, "For more coverage on The Onion's Sexiest Man Alive 2012, Kim Jong-Un, please visit our friends at the People's Daily in China, a proud Communist subsidiary of The Onion, Inc. Exemplary reportage, comrades."
