North Koreans have reportedly been banned from eating hot dogs as part of a crackdown on Western culture infiltrating the hermit kingdom.
Dictator Kim Jong Un has declared that serving the sausage was an act of treason, The Sun reports, amid the rising popularity of a South Korean dish inspired by the US.
People caught selling or cooking hot dogs face the prospect of time in the country’s infamous labor camps, while Pyongyang has also decreed that divorcees could also be jailed.
As part of the regime’s efforts to quash capitalist culture among citizens, it has forbidden the sale of budae-jjigae – a dish imported from pro-Western neighbor South Korea.
**SNIP**
Reports also emerged in December of citizens claiming divorcees in North Korea faced one to six months in labor camps for their “crimes.”
Divorce is frowned upon in the communist nation as it is considered an anti-socialist act, with the government required to sign off on any legal separations.
A divorced woman who claimed to have served three months of labor in South Pyongan province told RFA that women received harsher sentences than men.
“There are about 80 women, and 40 men imprisoned in the county labor training camp,” she said.
“About 30 men and women were imprisoned due to divorce decrees, and the women’s sentences were longer.”

"They're eating the (hot)dogs, they're eating the cats"
Hot dogs for me but not for thee.
When sausages are outlawed by criminal sociopaths,
only outlaw criminal sociopaths will have sausages.
Much like the "When Guns Are Outlawed, only Outlaws will have Guns" bumper sticker. Guns for the little people are outlawed there too, except for Little Kimmy and his thugs.
Apparently possession of kim-chi is not yet a felony but lettuce wait and see.

Apparently possession of kim-chi is not yet a felony but lettuce wait and see. Not to be nitpicky, but I believe kimchee is made with cabbage, great post though.

You’re correct, but have you ever tried to cabbage and see?
Let-us agree to disagree.

Trannies want their sausage either surgically removed, or installed.
