North Korea Declares War on Long Hair

Well, here's another reason I could never live in the 'Hidden Kingdom' - not that I'd ever want to anyway. Isn't it funny how tyrants of all stripes must presume to control and manipulate the most mundane aspects of the life of their citizenry?

Individuality cannot be allowed in prison, especially if the prison is a whole nation.

AP - The order to shaggy-haired North Korean men couldn't be clearer: Get a trim like Kim.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
