'Mrs Brown' a surprise hit in North Korea… (not really)
Brendan O'Carroll's creation has been endorsed by Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un, if you believe a tweet that's doing the rounds.
(Hint: Don't)
According to the now-going-viral tweet, which appears as a photo of a brief report in an unnamed newspaper, the sitcom is the "surprise new hit of the official Korean Central Television".
"The Irish sitcom is broadcast with the tag line "Everything That is Wrong with Europe and The Rest of The World", the 'report' continues.
"It is of course fully endorsed by Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un, who appears in the Korean credits as the producer, director and sole writer."
The report has raised eyebrows, on Twitter and was even retweeted by 'Mrs Brown's Boys' actress Fiona O'Carroll (Brendan's real-life daughter), leaving many people wondering "hmmm… maybe?"
We so much want to believe this is true, but of course, it's a fake.
A pretty good one though.

The tweet is the cunningly-photoshopped work of Welsh actor, writer and cartoonist JeffW, who seems surprised at the fact that it has grown legs.
Twitter Delightful Conundrum: One of your tweet goes mad before you can correct it, and slowly the world realises that you can't spell.

Maybe we just _want_ to believe, Jeff.
