North Korea Hates Pants

On chicks, that is.

North Korea's communist government is urging women in the country to wear traditional Korean clothes instead of pants, according to a North Korean monthly magazine.

"Keeping alive our dress style is a very important political issue to adhere to specific national cultural traditions at a time when the U.S. imperialists are maneuvering to spread the rotten bourgeois lifestyle inside North Korea," the Joson Yeosung (Woman) magazine said, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.”

First of all, pants aside, I’m intrigued North Korea has a Womans’ mag. Makes you sort of wonder at the articles a genocidal, starve everybody regime, would stuff inside its version of Cosmo: "This fall, thin is in. Again!"… "Cholera is the new black!"... "Re-education Camp weekend getaways!"

And second, while you’re no doubt sitting there thinking “Good call, Dear Leader. Who doesn’t like dames in skirts?” - hold on. As the article notes, Kim’s demanding a return to the Hanbok, so North Korea won’t exactly become the workers'/leg man’s paradise you’re hoping.

And yes, while I of course appreciate a big F.U. in the direction of those shrill North Korean feminists, a return to “Three Kingdoms” era clothing doesn’t really speak well as their country’s inevitable march to the future, either.

Frankly, I’m beginning to entertain some doubts about that country’s direction. Thought you should know.

I'm picturing fashion shots of women wearing those shoes with the spikes in the toes like the old broad in From Russia With Love. (Or was it The Spy Who Loved Me? I forget.

I checked out a new blog this morning that has this nifty photo of North and South Korea from orbit. Kind of says it all, really.

I don't know what those Nork women's mags are writing about, but I doubt it's the night life in Pyongyang.

One regular feature is the Joson Yeosung advice column "Dear Jun Geun-hye":

Dear Jun Geun-hye,

My husband and I have been together for several years, and I must admit that he does not bring me physical pleasure. What can I do?

-Woeful in Wonsan

Dear Woeful,

I regret to say that your vagina has obviously come under the influence of dangerouse bourgeois concepts such as "the orgasm." Your vagina should report to its local cadre for a vigorous self-criticism session.

Dear Jun Geun-hye,

Do you have any beef recipe tips you could share?

-Happy in Hamhung

Dear Happy,

Where did you procure beef? Please report immediately to your local cadre.

Utron, that was a cool pic. Can you pass on the link to the site when you have a chance? I haven't been able to google it.

Posted by: ChrisG on November 4, 2005 03:28 PM

ChrisG, the site's called Officer's Club. Apparently it's a new one, but Vodkapundit gave them a link and there's some pretty interesting material there.

utron,

Kind of related to the cool satellite pic--a friend was showing me Google Earth the other day. I hadn't tried it. I don't know where he got the idea, but he zoomed in for a daytime shot of Seoul and you could see the major streets were crowded with vehicles. Then he zoomed in on Pyongyang. A daytime shot of that city looked almost like a ghost town. Kind of spooky.

This superficially might seem silly, like the North Koreans' insistence that all men's haircuts must be short and neat, not long and shaggy a few months ago.

But men deciding to wear their hair long and women wanting to wear pants is a sign that ordinary North Koreans are watching South Korean soap operas and are mimicking the actors' appearances. North Korea has completely cut off its population from outside communication, so if ordinary NK's are somehow getting the signal, it's a sign of defiance. Hence the laws against haircuts and pants, it's really a way of threatening the illicit tv watchers.

Thanks Utron. No food and no freedom, but damn, with the lights out- imagine all the stars.

Time for the dictataor in NORTH KOREA to get a kick in the pants

Posted by: spurwing plover on November 4, 2005 09:08 PM

GeeWiz,
Why is North Korea so dark after all the help from Bill Clinton, Madeline Albright, and Jimmy Carter, to give 'em nuclear power plants?
As Madeline Albright whines: "They tricked us!"............
Stupid A$$hole$.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes.
