We just love North Korea. Wouldn't want to actually live there, or even visit the place, obviously, but there's no doubt it's the most eccentric and amusing country in the whole wide world. When its not posturing to nuke its neighbours, that is.

The latest target is that renowned enemy of Socialism - Long Hair.

The campaign, by the state-run Pyongyang Television, is entitled "Let us trim our hair in accordance with our Great Dear Socialist Leader.

Maybe a great opportunity for us capitalist pigs to go over there and start a new haircutting franchise!

You know, a brilliant point!

I thought about letting my hair grow long so I could put it in a pony tail. Then I thought about all the extra work it would take to keep it clean and the fact that it would be something extra to manage so I decided not to. I would have looked real cool with one though, cuz the top of my head is bald and I have a collection of baseball hats.

I’d love to visit Ireland some day, though I doubt that stardom is in my future there. How do people there take to panhandlers? Would I need a ponytail for that?
