The ruling communist party newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, even warned inappropriate appearance under foreign influence could lead to national decay.

N. Korea already has a "national decay" problem, thanks to Kim Jong "mentally" Ill.

"Pyongyang television noted long hair 'consumes a great deal of nutrition' and could thus rob the brain of energy, according to the BBC."

Not only are they stupid Communists, they're STUPID Communists.

What makes me laugh is the Communists infiltrate countries and encourage people to grow their hair long, be dirty, have art that could on;y be describes as hideous displayed in public, and on and on.
