Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe fell down a flight of stairs at

It seemed the idea of a 90-year-old dictator busting out a couple of dance moves was too delicious to resist.

Feeling guilty about watching an old man fall down?
Some suggested those tweeting from Zimbabwe might find themselves in a spot of trouble.
To be fair, we can only laugh about this because the only thing he hurt was his dignity.
