Kim Jung Un: Sexiest Man Alive 2012

This article cracks me up. I’ve taken a different approach, away from the political banter or middle east hoopla. This is an article reporting how China has once again fallen for satire in US news. Kim Jung Un, successor to Kim Jung Il, has been named The Onion’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2012, and it was reported as news in Chinese press.

This piece is nothing special, just a synopsis of the story. There’s no picture with it which takes away from the comical effect. I think a picture would make the article to be quite honest. I think considering all of the campaign ads making China the antagonist of America, this article pokes fun at our biggest competitor. This article isn’t newsworthy in the real sense of “news,” but I would assume it’s intention is to be a humorous little break from the serious issues on FoxNews.com

3.5/5 in my book.
