TIME magazine has placed Kim Jong-un, the young leader of North Korea and son of Kim Jong-il, on their cover. Their intro to the cover story reads, "He's the 29-year-old ruler of North Korea, the world's least known, most dangerous country." Still, the serious nature of the story doesn't stop them from making a playful rap reference.

Hopefully TIME isn't instigating more confusion, like Bill Maher did when he referred to Kim Jong-il as "Lil Kim" after the former leader's death. The tweet below was possibly cause for widespread Twitter rumors that Lil' Kim was dead.

First Hitchens, now L'il Kim - bad week for atheists!
