I legitimately can't tell if this reflects an actual press release from North Korea, or if it's satire. It seems like it's legitimate, but it also feel like The Onion ran this article a few years back.

It's legitimate in the sense that an "election" was held and he's still the leader. As far as the vote count and accuracy on the other hand...

Oh yeah; I'd probably rate The Onion as slightly more trustworthy than press releases from North Korea, because you know that The Onion is at least based in reality.

Incredible achievement. I'm sure the Kim family is thrilled (and those who aren't are dead).
