Kim Jong Un the sexiest man alive - a joke?

For some reason so called serious media present the Onion's earnest opinion of the glorious leader of North Korea as a joke. Here is the Onions' take:

Frankly, I can't see anything jocular in the above. Take a look at this compelling image:

And compare the glorious one to other leaders of similar mindset:

Have you done the comparison? Isn't the superiority of the glorious one clear as a sunny day at the slopes of Baekdu Mountain (of course, if you exclude the horses from this informal competition)?

And if you want to judge the glorious Kim (or is it "glorious Jong" or even "glorious Un" - I wouldn't know) as a standalone entity, see what a judicious application of some lipstick and other cosmetic wonders could do:

Of course, some of you purists may be offended by the remains of the furry dead (I am almost certain it's dead) animal on the head of the exhibit, but there is no accounting for tastes. And anyway, we, the males, should withhold our judgement and bow to the opinion that really counts in the matter.

So there. Not a joke at all, I say.
