Global Happiness Index

Gotta love the North Koreans...

Perhaps trying to deflect accusations of bias by placing their own nation atop their "Global Happiness Index," North Korean researchers commissioned by a state television network released a report that concluded that China, with a perfect score of 100, was the happiest place on earth. According to the researchers' undisclosed scoring method, North Korea finished second with 98 points. The researchers also claimed that the United States (referred to as "The American Empire") finished dead last with just two points. The report made news on Chinese internet forums like Mop where, according to MSNBC, one commenter said, "Please send me to the U.S. so I can suffer too."
