The state-sanctioned guideline was introduced in the capital Pyongyang about two weeks ago, Radio Free Asia reports. It is now being rolled out across the country - although some people have expressed reservations about getting the look.

"Our leader's haircut is very particular, if you will," one source tells Radio Free Asia. "It doesn't always go with everyone since everyone has different face and head shapes." Meanwhile, a North Korean now living in China says the look is actually unpopular at home because people think it resembles Chinese smugglers. "Until the mid-2000s, we called it the 'Chinese smuggler haircut'," the Korea Times reports.

It seems that haircuts have been state-approved in North Korea for some time - until now people were reportedly only allowed to choose from 18 styles for women and 10 for men.

That is a sick thought. There are still some men in America that don't look like fags.

This is nothing - Hillary has making her females chop their hair, dye it blond, wear black pantsuits, use plastic horse jewellery and wear witch-pointed combat-boot-heeled shoes for twenty years.

Are the styles we embrace a matter of taste, or of values rejected?
