The only dogs in North Korea are those on the grill?

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.

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.”

Hot dogs are to sausages what Soros is to a patriot.
I’ve read about these North Korean “labor camps”. They are torture camps, and no where you want to be.
Kim Jong Un has instituted a national health diet program as he has been told by doctors to loose 300 LBS. As he suffers from the urge to gorge on hot dogs, the nation suffers with him.
It was fun while it lasted though.
Guarantee there is a money trail between Kim and Ballpark or Nathan’s.
Labor camp or bad marriage..?
Labor camp or bad marriage..?
Give me a minute, I’m thinking.
So much for this classic jingle - apparently everyone except Kim il Porko:
I thought dogs had long been a staple of Korean cuisine?
Making North Korea Healthy Again.
Is he going to follow his own rule?
I doubt it.
Considering all the junk put in hot dogs I’m hoping RFK does the same (although maybe without the labor camps).
I prefer Nathan’s. Kim Jong Un is denying his North Koreans the yummy taste of Nathan’s. He has a cold-hearted relationship with his citizens.
“Labor camp or bad marriage..?
Labor camp or bad marriage..?
Give me a minute, I’m thinking.”
Dumb comment. One of them is nothing but torture and abuse, the other is the labor camp.
Kim Jong Un is denying his North Koreans the yummy taste of Nathan’s.

They use dog meat in NK which is yummy to the inhabitants - a change from the bark-grass-dirt of the usual diet.
It’s the footlongs that make L’il Kim feel the most uncomfortable.
