Kim Jong Un Will Pretend To Kill All Of China If This Video Isn't Taken Down From The Interwebs

HP – Dictators never seem to have much of a sense of humor, and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is no exception. Kim is trying to get China to pull the plug on a satirical video that, with some not-so-subtle digital trickery, shows him dancing, running, getting poked in the butt by a rocket and more, all set to catchy music. He also gets repeatedly pranked — often by President Barack Obama. North Korean officials say the clip “seriously compromises Kim’s dignity and authority,” South Korea’s Chosun Ilbun newspaper reports. Naturally, China has been unable to help because once something is online, it’s online forever. And Kim doesn’t seem to know Rule 19 of the Internet: The more you hate it, the stronger it gets.

For the first time in forever, Kim Jong Un didn’t really seem like such a bad guy right there. I don’t even see what’s so wrong about this video. The dance clips are as on point as it gets, he kills a dragon, and blows up a bus with a soccer ball (wouldn’t be surprised if the North Korean government actually keeps that clip and tries to pass it off as a real thing). As for the rest of the video, sometimes you just gotta be able to laugh at yourself. Nobody likes someone who takes himself too seriously. I can see why he’d be a little pissy about getting punked by Barry O a few times, but that just comes with the bro lifestyle. If you’re getting pranked, it just means you’re one of the fellas. At least I hope that’s what it means. So if Kim knows anything about PR like I think he does, he’ll realize this is huge for his image in the West. But not before he tries to get us back with another one of these videos. What a jokester.
