It certainly isn’t the first time that reputable news agencies have believed Onion News send-ups, but it surely is one of the most unlikely ones!
Onion comedy news is often very close to actual events, and it’s easy to see how a mistake can be made now and then….But Sexiest Man Alive – Really? Chinese newspaper ‘The Daily People’ apparently believed that Lil’ Kim is ‘all that and a bag of chips.’
The Onion wrote the article to spoof ‘People Magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive’ feature. If The Onion were to be believed, such hotties as Channing Tatum and Denzel Washington moved aside to make room at the top for Lil’ Kim. Kim Jung Un is described in the Onion article in glowing terms. (alert: do not sip hot liquids before reading) “He has that rare ability to somehow be completely adorable and completely macho at the same time.”
