North Korea wages war on long hair

[gold_bug]

North Korea has launched an intensive media assault on its latest arch enemy - the wrong haircut.

A campaign exhorting men to get a proper short-back-and-sides has been aired by state-run Pyongyang television.

(...)

It stressed the "negative effects" of long hair on "human intelligence development", noting that long hair "consumes a great deal of nutrition" and could thus rob the brain of energy.

Men should get a haircut every 15 days, it recommended.

3. How foolish

Aside from the civil liberties abrogations, which are par for the course over there, you'd think that midget in high heels would tell everyone to GROW their hair, and sell it on the open market...with the way the NK economy is going, it would probably be their biggest cash "crop."
