Onion's Sexiest Man Alive, Kim Jong Un, Reported as Fact By Chinese Newspaper Nov 28th 2012, 11:15 The online version of China's Communist Party newspaper hailed a report by The Onion naming North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un as 2012's Sexiest Man Alive. Only one problem: The Onion is a satirical, fake news organization. The People's Daily on Tuesday ran a 55-page photo spread under the headline "North Korea's top leader named The Onion's Sexiest Man Alive for 2012." Quoting the Onion's spoof report, the Chinese newspaper wrote: '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." "Blessed with an air of power that masks an unmistakable cute, cuddly side, [Kim brings] impeccable fashion sense, chic short hairstyle, and, of course, that famous smile." Photos the People's Daily selected include Kim on horseback and waving toward a military parade. In other photos, he is wearing sunglasses and smiling, or with his wife Ri Sol Ju. It is not the first time a state-run Chinese newspaper has believed The Onion. In 2002, the Beijing Evening News published as news the fictional account that the U.S. Congress was negotiating for a new building and threatening to leave D.C. People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive 2012 was Channing Tatum.
