It seems that all dictators have a problem with their sense of humor, and North Korea's Kim Jong Un is no exception.
Kim Jong Un unsuccessfully attempted to get China to take off the internet a satirical video that, with some not-so-subtle digital magic, displays Kim running, dancing, getting kicked in the butt by a nuke and more, all set to catchy music. He also gets repeatedly pranked -- often by President Barack Obama.
North Korean officials complain that clip "seriously compromises Kim's dignity and authority," South Korea's Chosun Ilbun newspaper reports.
As expected, China was not able 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.
This is not the only video that has Pyongyang going ballistic. The nation recently threatened a "resolute and merciless response" over the upcoming Seth Rogan/James Franco film, "The Interview."
