Yeah, I know, I know... another North Korea story.

This time it is the North Korean fashion police out in force.

How do they manage to police this? Are the people there so feeble that they'll just go along with they're told to do? Honestly, those 'disciplinary officials' have to be weak-willed. There is nothing heroic in what they do, when they have to uphold BS laws like this.

Is NK deliberately trying to be the stand-up comedy act of planet Earth?
