The North Korean government must be really bored to figure out something like this...

Damn, that's funny.
I'm not very fond of the 'high' hairstile myself and I'm quite convinced that my own hair is unruly enough to disqualify me from dressing in accordance with the Socialist lifestyle. I think you're right Stavros - they must be bored! Personally, I wonder whether the connection they draw between neatness of dress, haircut and ideological view is as ridiculous as it might initially seem. Do we not automatically perform the same judgements ourselves? Somebody with a suit and smart haircut is a businessman, leaning towards a right-wing, capitalist viewpoint. A young person with very unruly hair, untidy clothes, random stubble etc is probably a student and therefore liberal-leaning. Someone wearing all black with long dark hair is probably gothic and most likely disollusioned from politics. Someone wearing a burberry cap with very short hair (especially with marks shaved into it) is usually a chav and probably a nationalist where politics are concerned. Gross generalisations, I realise, but your appearance is a statement to the world about yourself, and its almost impossible to make statements like that without expressing a political preference. |

Maybe NK is afraid that American spies are hiding cameras in the hair of longhaired North Koreans.
Jokes aside, I guess it's a superiority thing. Communist states have always been very keen on presenting themselves as better people than those who live in capitalist states, who are viewed as decadent. Keeping a clean, healthy and disciplined appearance is probably along those lines. I guess the NK government don't think that long hair gives the "proper" look for a "superior" communist North Korean. [ 01-09-2005, 09:52 AM: Message edited by: Stratos ]

I, and my 9 inches of (Capitalist?) hair disapprove, and would think that's funny if it were not real people in a real place. Yay government oppression.
I guess longer hair promotes capitalism with increased shampoo usage and purchase of a slightly larger comb. Though a haircut every 15 days probably evens out the cost [img]tongue.gif[/img] I smell government influence on behalf of barber shops! |
