Beware. You may not be the same once you're through looking at the Photostop concoctions YouTube star PewDiePie (Felix Kjellberg) has cooked up featuring North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un.

PewDiePie tweeted these pictures on Sunday, December 21:

The photos were posted with very minimal to no commentary--though do they really need any? The photos are so grotesque and horrifying, they generally speak for themselves.

Kim Jong-un has been under sharp criticism via Internet memes since the infamous Sony hack has been traced back to North Korean sources.

Most of them are playful and amusing, like PewDiePie's, though after Sony Pictures' "The Interview" was pulled from it's schedule premiere on December 25 due to terrorist threat, we all know how the North Koreans feel about humor toward their dictator.

Photoshop manipulations seem to be PewDiePie's favorite form of reaction to current events, and is like his way of sharing his opinion on the matter.

When Kim Kardashian appeared naked on the cover of Paper Magazine, PewDie shared a few notable renditions with his followers on Twitter, and compiled the photos into a YouTube video.

As of writing, there is no YouTube video dedicated to the work behind Jong-un's photoshops, but we'll certainly be keeping an eye out.
