Update: TheNew York Times reports that this story is probably not true at all.
BBC News reports that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un is now requiring all men to emulate his signature high-and-tight 'do. The edict is being rolled-out across North Korea and has already been introduced in Pyongyang.

As embarrassing as wearing a "Chinese smuggler haircut" might be to North Koreans, what the Supreme Leader says, goes. Expect the "Jong-Un" to be all the rage in the Hermit Kingdom for some time to come.
