North Korea has initiated an intense assault on a new enemy. Men with long hair. The media campaign is aimed at ensuring men keep their hair groomed in line with a socialist lifestyle. It recommends that hair is cut every 15 days.
There are concessions for individuals over 50 with bald patches. Claims are that long hair saps the brain of energy and has negative effects on brain development and also show their mental and moral state.
The campaign goes further than normal by naming individuals which are deemed too shoddy. TV and papers are showing pictures of individuals who are deemed to be outside the standard. Normally individuals are only named on TV when citizens are praised.
