Despite the harsh reaction to James Franco and Seth Rogen's comedy about killing Kim Jong-un, the internet has lampooned the North Korean dictator once again.

Kim Jong-Un is currently trying to get China to take down a satirical video that shows the dictator dancing, running, and being hit by a rocket, in addition to being pranked by "President Obama" several times. Kim Jong-un is even depicted holding hands with Osama Bin Laden.

The clip "seriously compromises Kim's dignity and authority," North Korean officials told The Chosun Ilbo. The video was created by a Chinese man who studied at Kyonggi University in South Korea, the newspaper reports. Watch the video below. --Meghan DeMaria

President-elect Donald Trump on Friday chose Fox News national security analyst KT McFarland to serve as his deputy national security adviser, Politico reported, citing a transition aide. McFarland previously served as a White House spokesperson under former President Ronald Reagan and as an official in the Pentagon. In 2006, she launched an unsuccessful bid to run for the New York Senate seat held by then-Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has raised $4.7 million to fund an audit and recount of election results in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Stein announced Wednesday she would seek a recount after reports surfaced that cybersecurity experts had noticed alleged irregularities in the states' results. However, one of the experts said they did not uncover any evidence the election was hacked, and Politico reported some have said it's "unlikely that there was evidence showing a hack."

The Stein campaign initially hoped to raise $2.5 million through a crowd-funding effort to cover legal fees ahead of the Friday filing deadline in Wisconsin. Her new goal early Friday was $7.0 million. Becca Stanek

Americans got an early start to Black Friday shopping this year, spending $1.15 billion on online shopping by 5 p.m. ET on Thanksgiving, Adobe Digital Index revealed. That marked a nearly 14 percent increase from last year, as more U.S. consumers avoid showing up to stores in favor of snagging deals online and as Black Friday deals start earlier.

Adobe Digital Insights projected combined sales on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday could near $8.4 billion, with Cyber Monday 2016 marking the "biggest online shopping day of all time," NBC News reported. Overall, the National Retail Federation estimated holiday sales this year will grow 3.6 percent. Becca Stanek

Actress Florence Henderson, known for her role as mom Carol Brady on TV sitcom The Brady Bunch, died Thursday night. She was 82, and reportedly suffered heart failure.

After The Brady Bunch ended in 1974, Henderson went on to guest star in shows like Ally McBeal and 30 Rock, and reprised her role as mother of the big, blended family in various spinoffs, including The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. "It represents what people always wanted: a loving family," Henderson said in 1999 about The Brady Bunch. "It's such a gentle, innocent, sweet show, and I guess it proved there's always an audience for that."

Henderson got her start as a singer, debuting on Broadway in 1952 at age 18. In 1962, she became the first woman to guest host The Tonight Show. She was hosting a cooking show on Retirement Living TV at the time of her death.

"Florence was not only America's favorite TV mom, but television royalty," The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences said in a statement. Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia Brady on The Brady Bunch, tweeted a farewell to her "dear friend for so very many years." Becca Stanek

Slippers, the "most no-fail gift ever," have stepped into a new world, says Erin Carstens at DudeIWantThat.com. The Warmies Cozy Plush Body Boots ($25) are made to be microwaved: Just zap them briefly and they emerge "magnificently warm and cozy." They're filled with millet grain and lavender, both of which have drawbacks. The millet is heavy and hard to walk on, and the lavender makes a wearer smell "like an old lady perfume store" until the slippers have been nuked a few times. But the filling can be chilled for cold therapy or warmed for heat therapy, and the plush fabric is "extra soft to the touch." The Week Staff

A new Texas law may require public school teachers and counselors to "out" LGBT students to their parents. The proposed "right to know" law would compel schools to tell parents any information about students' "psychological or emotional well-being," The Dallas Observer reports.

Republican state senator Konni Burton filed the bill in response to a local school district creating regulations that bar faculty from disclosing a student's transgender identity to their parents. "My legislation will make it expressly against state law for a district to adopt policies designed to undermine a parent's right to know," Burton said in a statement.

Critics claim the law would hurt vulnerable kids. "If your kid is gay and can tell his teacher, but hasn't told you, then you are the problem," said LGBT activist Steve Rudner.

Burton, meanwhile, claims the bill has nothing to do with LGBT rights, saying it's merely about ensuring parents have total access to information about their children. But the apparent confusion over the "broad language" of the bill could lead to potentially unnecessary or intrusive disclosures, says Stephen Young at The Observer. That extends beyond just issues of gender and sexuality: "Imagine a child who's an atheist, but has fundamentalist parents. That student's parents would have the full right to get the teacher to report that, too." The Week Staff

President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly made little time for classified intelligence briefings, current and former U.S. officials familiar with the matter told The Washington Post. Trump has received just two such briefings since winning the presidency more than two weeks ago, "a frequency that is notably lower — at least so far — than that of his predecessors," the Post noted.

Since his inaugural briefing within days of his Nov. 8 election victory, Trump has been briefed just once more, on Tuesday in New York. He then headed to Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday. "Trump has a lot of catching up to do," one senior U.S. official told the Post.

Trump's transition team dismissed the idea that Trump's decision to turn away briefing opportunities is a cause for concern, pointing to the fact that the president-elect has been busy vetting and appointing Cabinet and administration staff. Vice President-elect Mike Pence, by contrast, has made time in his schedule almost every day for these briefings. After winning the White House in 2008, President Obama took part in routine briefings, while former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton also received daily briefings after their electoral victories.

A spokesman for the Director of National Intelligence, which produces the intelligence briefings, declined to comment to the Post, and spokesmen for Trump's transition team did not respond to requests for comment from the paper.
