North Korean Dear Leader/monster Kim Jong-Un is now requiring every man in the country to copy his exact haircut. The rule was reportedly introduced in Pyongyang two weeks ago.
Until now, there have been 28 government-approved hairstyles in North Korea—10 for men and 18 for women.
Long hair has been discouraged by North Korean state TV since 2005, when a campaign warned men that too much hair could consume vital nutrients, stunting brain development. The campaign recommended they schedule haircuts every 15 days.
Now the state is going a step further, reducing men’s hair options to one: Kim’s famous center-parted ‘do.
Dear leader
I laughed out loud when I saw this… and then remembered the only reason it’s funny is because I don’t live in North Korea.
I’ve decided over the last decade or so that most people high up in politics are psychopaths. But they’re normal psychopaths, if you know what I mean. Monsieur Kim seems to keep finding new ways of being completely crazed.
