TYT: North Korea Orders Kim Jong-un Haircuts For ALL Men

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's distinctive hairstyle is the 'do of the day on the Internet, thanks to a viral report that every male university student in the capital is now under orders to get a buzz just like it. But it appears the barbers of Pyongyang aren't exactly sharpening their scissors.

The thinly sourced reports say an order went out a few weeks ago for university students to buzz cut the sides of their heads just like Kim. Washington, D.C.-based Radio Free Asia cited unnamed sources as saying an unwritten directive from somewhere within the ruling Workers' Party went out early this month, causing consternation among students who didn't think the new 'do would suit them."

4. In the film, the Red Chapel, a film-maker sneaks a couple of comedians into North Korea

and you see the tragic, sad conformity and rigidity of the people of North Korea. Even when it comes to comedy, the North Korean government manages to get its nose into everything.

One of the comedians has a disability. He notes that he sees no disabled people in North Korea. The film is quite a reminder of the importance of freedom to a life worth living.
