That is awesome. Obviously the communists don't get satire.

I saw that come up in the news-scroll on the TV at the gym... about spit up the water I just drank. Apparently there was a FIFTY FIVE PAGE photo spread.

Paper in hot water for taking Onion’s Kim Jong-un world’s sexiest man story seriously | World | News | National Post

Apparently there is no such thing as irony in the Chinese language or culture, making them sitting (Peking) ducks for this type of red-assing.

This reminds me of when my brother was living and working in Thailand in the early '80s. The government came out with an official statement that there were no homosexuals in Thailand. Maybe they thought that all of their trannies were women, IDK...but wait, it gets better...the most popular musical act in the land was the Village People. They apparently did not catch that they were gay. I schit you not. :eek::D
