Whew! The idea of millions of men sporting that incomprehensibly bad hair style is almost frightening. (You鈥檇 think a dictator could afford a better barber.)
Yes, there鈥檚 plenty of fodder for jokes about a man who constantly says stupid things and cuts such a ridiculous figure. But the jokes wear thin when you realize the buffoon and his cohorts are cold-blooded killers, heartless oppressors and dangerous players on the world stage. They run a country where people are arrested for trivial reasons or no reason at all, and confined to labour camps, a virtual death sentence.
People eat twigs, insects and grass to survive, and children starve on the streets, yet untold resources are wasted on lavish displays that praise a regime that gets worse with each succeeding generation.
Kim presides over a country that claims to be a people鈥檚 paradise with high standards of virtue, yet for most North Koreans, it is a living hell riddled with corruption, cruelty and deceit.
When you stop to consider the insane evil that lies behind that toothy smile, the haircut doesn鈥檛 seem so funny any more.
