Found this link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4157121.stm whilst trawling the net, where North Korea has launched an ad campaign against long hair. My favourite part of the article, because it’s just so stupid:
It stressed the “negative effects” of long hair on “human intelligence development”, noting that long hair “consumes a great deal of nutrition” and could thus rob the brain of energy.
How the hell does long hair consume any more nutrition when hair comes out of the scalp dead? I’m looking for some “gotcha” phrase. I can’t find one. The mind boggles.
