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.

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?

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.

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.

Perhaps she was already vastly stupid, so cut her hair in a vain attempt to become less stupid.

Hey, eating dirt and tree bark have nothing to do with it.
