Is there a Chinese word for "satire?"

Link (http://www.tulsaworld.com/scene/article.aspx?subjectid=371&articleid=20121127_13_0_BEIJIN320001)

In a nutshell, The Onion named North Korea's young dictator the "Sexiest Man Alive" and the government-controlled China paper ran with the story... to the tune of a 55-page photo spread?!?!?!

The Onion sexy man story can be read here. (http://www.theonion.com/articles/kim-jongun-named-the-onions-sexiest-man-alive-for,30379/)

Why in the hell has the Chinese paper not removed this (http://english.people.com.cn/90777/8035568.html) yet?!

EDIT: I just made it through all 55 photos. Seems that Un has inherited his father's ability to surround himself with shorter people... or perhaps, he also wears elevator shoes? Now, he should find fatter people to surround himself with so that he looks thin AND tall :P

There are no fatter people than him in NK. Never forget, they haven't yet worked out growing crops in fields there. It's not 'democratic' enough, or something.

I want to get my hands on some of those military hats/caps... Those are some cool looking covers! I would look spiffy in them! :wink:

I looked through the 55 photos -- the spiffy school unis have spiffy caps. They are probably indoctrinated into hating the U.S., but at least they get to look cool while being indoctrinated.
