USA Today fell for a popular parody Twitter account that pretends to represent the North Korean government, including one of its tweets in a Thursday story.

“Noted idiot John McCain denounced as an infantile lunatic angrily soiling himself after slandering august personages of DPRK,” the parody DPRK News Service account tweeted Wednesday, a joking reference to recent criticism from the Arizona senator targeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

McCain recently called Kim a “crazy fat kid,” leading Pyongyang to characterize the comment as “a provocation tantamount to declaration of war against the [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea].”

USA Today fell for the parody tweet, initially embedding it in a story on McCain’s comments.

“Corrections & Clarifications: A previous version of this story included a tweet from a parody account. The quoted tweet has since been removed from the story,” the article now reads.

The jokesters behind the account could not help but rub it in….
