Kim Jong Un stepped out Thursday sporting a new ‘do, including eyebrows shorter than his actual eyes, and, predictably, the Internet has gone completely nuts.

Jong Un debuted the apparently carefully crafted cut at a meeting of the Workers’ Party of Korea in Pyongyang.
And, well, it must be Friday because comparisons and stellar Photoshop jobs are popping up across social media platforms by the second.
Jersey Shore‘s Pauly D — famous for his own blowout — got in on the joke:
