Korea

How would that work in Malta, I wonder? “The Jo” (as in, The Rachel).

    Apparently, becoming bald is not an option in North Korea.

    Should the Maltese be shaving their heads?

    An attempt to make all North Korean men, erm, unidentifiable.

    With that haircut then all men would look alike in North Korea.

    Oh wait, only the real McCoy Glorious Leader can afford to keep himself that chubby.

    Imagine all Malta having to switch their hair according to the party they’re pretending to support at any given time.

    This is fascinating. I can understand a dictatorship limiting or removing freedom of speech and freedom of association.

    But freedom of hairstyle? Incomprehensible.

    Imagine having the ‘Sant’ style.

    This may present an unprecedented security risk with so many candidates who may pass off as his double.

      Maybe that’s the idea. With so many look-alikes someone with evil intentions against the great leader will have great difficulty targeting the right man.

    Wonder of wonders, the time now is 9.30pm and TVM is airing the documentary HELSIEN and the TVM2 is showing MIXJA TA’ POPLU.

    Both documentaries are in praise of 31st March 1979.

    Doesn’t that hairstyle have a particular name in Malta which refers to a specific part of the male anatomy?
