 U.S. website The Onion has named North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un as the "Sexiest Man Alive for the year 2012". "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," reads the original article which was copied and pasted word for word sans satire in the People's Daily. "Blessed with an air of power that masks an unmistakable cute, cuddly side, Kim made this newspaper's editorial board swoon with his impeccable fashion sense, chic short hairstyle, and, of course, that famous smile," both articles read.
– Forget Justin Timberlake: Kim Jong Un just brought sexy back. The Onion named the North Korean leader "Sexiest Man Alive" earlier this month, and the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party totally bought it. People's Daily reported the happy news today, and ran a 55-picture gallery to celebrate, the Atlantic Wire reports. A South Korean paper also ran the story as fact, although without the accompanying image gallery. As a bonus, that paper lists previous winners of the Onion honor, including Bashar al-Assad and Bernie Madoff. (Click to see how the Onion once also fooled Iran.)
