    Get with the program, hippy!

    Let's trim our hair in accordance with the socialist lifestyle is a television program produced by the government of North Korea. The show, broadcast on state-run television in the capital of Pyongyang, is intended to educate the public on good and bad hairstyles. An initial five-part series in the show Common Sense featured officially endorsed haircut styles, while a later series went a step further by showing certain men as examples of how not to trim hair. The show claims that hair length can affect human intelligence in part because of the deprivation to the rest of the body of nutrients required for hair to grow. Wikipedia

    Capitalist wonderland Singapore has some amusingly authoritarian hair length related laws.

    That's the kind of big brothery stuff I approve of anyway.

    Not so good if you are like most people on this planet, and live outside of the developed world.... Who cares about them though, they're foreign after all eh?? :rolleyes:

    On topic, I remember reading about this a few weeks ago on the BBC news website. Quite authoritarian, but such is the way with states run by rulers which inherited the country from their dad.

    it's a great idea, if i was a dictator with a screw loose, i'd pass all sorts of crazy laws. Imagine how you'd kick yourself when it's all over otherwise, all the oppourtunities lost.

    Law 1: everybody born in may has to walk with a limp on the 1st tuesday of every 2nd month. penalty of failure...

    DEATH!!!!
