Long hair 'steals the brain's energy' From correspondents in Seoul January 10, 2005
STALINIST North Korea has stepped up its campaign against long hair and untidy attire which its media says represents a "corrupt capitalist" lifestyle, reports said.
North Korean state television, radio and newspapers have led the grooming drive, urging people to cut their hair short and to dress tidily, the BBC said in a dispatch citing broadcasts from Pyongyang.
Men were asked to have crew cuts with hair growing up to five centimetres in a twice-a-month visit to the barber, it said.
Not only health and hygiene but also intelligence was cited by the North Korean media as reasons for the crackdown on appearance.
Pyongyang television noted long hair "consumes a great deal of nutrition" and could thus rob the brain of energy, according to the BBC.

Starvation tends to steal the brain's energy as well.
oh boy, you are going to get the humorless feminists in a tizzy
Lack of O2 has got to be the winner.
Besides, I am a BETTER driver than you.
Does that mean bald people are the best drivers?

I can vouch for that! Looking at Pam, I'm having a hard time thinking . . |
So lesbians with butch cuts are smarter than lesbians with long hair?
Well, I think there are a number of factors that effect driving skill, but when you observe broadly that men are better drivers than women, and then you read this, it is a reasonable explanation.
LOL!
Uh Oh..............
(this message paid for by the N.Korean Haircutters Assoc.)
Hmmm, the evidence of popular hairstyles among the North Korean government would seem to disprove this.
Not neccessarily, the long hair is just one of many factors.
You may be onto something.
Perhaps she was already vastly stupid, so cut her hair in a vain attempt to become less stupid.
"Starvation tends to steal the brain's energy as well."
Hey, eating dirt and tree bark have nothing to do with it.

Pong
I knew there was a reason I liked chicks with short hair!
