North Korea Hates PantsNorth 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. 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. posted by Dr. Reo Symes at 02:09 PM

First of all, pants aside, I’m intrigued North Korea has a Womans’ mag. 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. Posted by: on November 4, 2005 03:09 PM
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. Posted by: utron on November 4, 2005 03:19 PM
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. Posted by: utron on November 4, 2005 03:38 PM
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. Posted by: skinbad on November 4, 2005 03:56 PM
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. Posted by: Moonbat_One on November 4, 2005 04:54 PM
Thanks Utron. No food and no freedom, but damn, with the lights out- imagine all the stars. Posted by: ChrisG on November 4, 2005 05:23 PM

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED from anon2020 So what, she quit? Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know. NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category. Thanks to Mark1971
Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too. I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.
Sh0eOnHead discusses the Psychotic Cult of Lindsay
Real quotes: "This case has me feeling like I'm on Law & Order with you guys!" "We literally binge true crime as a hobby, we've been trained for this moment" Worth the watch. If you haven't seen the genuinely upsetting insanity motivating thousands of women, you should watch this just to see how society is crumbling. Ban TikTok, Trump. I don't care if Barron tells you it's popular with the yutes. It is an evil Communist China op and it is driving women insane.
Dolly Parton tells the story of the supposedly real-life Jolene
As Andrew Branca says, can we see this Jolene, finally? Who was this hottie that was a genuine sexual threat to Dolly Parton? I think this is Fake News personally. When a magician claims he learned a trick from a Himalayan wise man, I don't believe him either.

Breaking news: Dolly Parton had a real pair of 38s
Or at least one. She carried it everywhere for protection. This joke brought to you by Benny Hill. And speaking of the British: The Buckingham Palace guard tributed her yesterday
Dolly Parton is badgered into saying something negative about Trump's bus-board locker-room talk, but refuses to bow to the media pressure, telling the twink agitator she learned long ago to "keep your damned mouth shut"
What I'm appreciating is that while her surface is soft and sweet, she's got some actual steel a centimeter underneath.
1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show. She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.
