North Korea: Male University Students Required To Get Kim Jong-un Haircuts
An anonymous reader writes in with one more reason not to accept that full-ride scholarship to a North Korea University. "Male university students in North Korea are now required to get the same haircut as their leader Kim Jong-un, it is reported. The state-sanctioned guideline was introduced in the capital Pyongyang about two weeks ago, Radio Free Asia reports. It is now being rolled out across the country - although some people have expressed reservations about getting the look. 'Our leader's haircut is very particular, if you will,' one source tells Radio Free Asia. 'It doesn't always go with everyone since everyone has different face and head shapes.' Meanwhile, a North Korean now living in China says the look is actually unpopular at home because people think it resembles Chinese smugglers. 'Until the mid-2000s, we called it the "Chinese smuggler haircut",' the Korea Times reports."
The good news about being late to post stories (that aren't for nerds and don't matter), is that they've already been debunked:

I'm glad to hear they still have universities, or is that not true either?
I think it's just North Korea getting back at us for all The Onion stories they have fallen for.
...at least it's not a mullet
Mullets are cool. Kim Jong-un's haircut is just crap.
I can believe they have universities, the buildings at least, but I'm a little suspicious about the whole "student" thing.

You do know that an insurance policy is just a policy. The same thing applies to anyone buying it. You could just as truthfully say that women's health insurance covers testicular cancer.
It's not like insurance policies just changed this year to include it. They've been like that for years. You'd know that if you had ever read your policy.
Meanwhile, women have been buying health insurance that covers testicular cancer the whole time. Stuff a sock in it... This is how insurance works. We pool everyone. You're not buying specific health procedures. You're buying decreased risk. That's how insurance works. You got lumped into a pool that includes women.
If you only want to pay for SPECIFICALLY what you get sick for, we call that self insured. We also call that Not Insured.
I'm getting really sick of this stupid !@#$ing meme and the stupid !@#$ers that keep repeating it.
So I guess the "murdering dictator haircut" is in good company.
Too bad it's not true, because chicks dig that haircut.
I understand Jong-un is a real pussy magnet. At least that's what Dennis Rodman says.
You are welcome on my lawn.
But a good one, it was not SO far out that it was easily debunked.
Then again, creating a believable hoax around NK is like shooting fish in a barrel.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
"Waaaaaa, someone else might benifit if I pool my resouces with them!" - This ignorant, greedy, selfish, and ultimately self-defeating, worldview is the reason why UHC will never work in the US, it's also the reason why private insurance costs so much in the US. Lots of luck finding a private insurance company that will give you a discount after you have given them a pile of extra work adding/removing individual clauses from a boiler plate contract that are clearly irrelevant to you personally.
