It seems that the world's favorite dictator's haircut, known as the Chinese smuggler haircut, is now going to be enforced by the fashion police. Literally. They already had a

There is
some debate regarding the authenticity of this story. Some media suggest that
it's very unlikely, while others seem to state it as
factual. Some talk about all men having to follow the new rules, others say
it's only aimed at students.

Well done, KJU, for confusing the international media so hard. Well done indeed!
