    Hair!

    DateTuesday, October 21, 2008 at 10:28 PM

    No, not the musical, the Stalinist Ddictatorship:

    In his first reported appearance following news of his hospitalization, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il lost his temper while watching a college soccer match, denouncing several players' long hair as "disgusting," according to a source close to the North Korean government. The outburst was followed by a nationwide ban on long hair for men.

    Mainichi Shimbun

    In the words of The Dear Leader Comrade General™ Kim Jong Il:

    "What kind of haircuts are these? If things are like this, you cannot tell whether this is a men's football match or women's,"

    By all accounts, long hair for men is now officially banned within the DPRK.

    See! I told you he was alive
