Hair apparent? Not for N. Korean men

[seriousstan]

SEOUL, South Korea — The order to shaggy-haired North Korean men couldn’t be clearer: Get a trim like Kim.

The reclusive communist country is waging a hair war, telling its male population to lose the long locks to conform to "socialist style" — no longer than 2 inches


----cut----

"We cannot help questioning the cultural taste of this comrade, who is incapable of feeling ashamed of his hair style," the station said yesterday, showing a man identified as Ko Gwang Hyun, whose unkempt hair covered his ears.

"Can we expect a man with this disheveled mind-set to perform his duty well?" the announcer asked.

The dictum claims that long hair hampers brain activity by taking oxygen away from nerves in the head.

2. I had to use two cuts, the first one left the hair longer than 2 inches

and my brain wasn't getting the necessary oxygen. Of course, this would explain their leaders actions for the past several decades.

5. North Korea is a mockery of socialism, but my main concern is still...

...to oppose US intervention on the Korean peninsula. There can be no case for US invasion or bombardment there. That said, this is ridiculous and only weakens them in the long run. Then again, Korean people can be terribly conservative and this might be an expression of this unfortunate characteristic.

6. Bald Women?

Well now we know why women are "Less Intelligent" than men. And more importantly how to fix it. (But I will still miss their long hair
;( ) /sarcasm
