North Korea recently requested that China put an end to social media users calling Kim Jong-un fat.
Living in constant fear of being killed by those you rule is no doubt stressful, and it is rumored that North Korea’s Kim Jong-un has turned to food and drink for comfort, reports the International Business Times.
It is believed the leader now weighs about 300 pounds, which has prompted a number of social media users in China to mock him.
Popular nicknames for the allegedly rotund dictator include, in translation, “Kim Fat Fatty,” Kim Fat Fat Fat,” and “Kim Abundant III.”
North Korea recently requested that China put an end to the name-calling.
According to USA Today, a number of Chinese websites now block searches for a phrase equating to “Kim Fatty the Third.”
China’s Foreign Ministry denies the prohibition exists, but notes, “We disapprove of referring to the leader of any country with insulting and mocking remarks."
