So rarely do North Korea and I agree...
But it seems we have both started waging war on men with long hair. According to this BBC news report, Pyongyang television is encouraging men to "Let us trim our hair in accordance with Socialist lifestyle."

"[The media campaign] stressed the "negative effects" of long hair on "human intelligence development", noting that long hair "consumes a great deal of nutrition" and could thus rob the brain of energy."

"Ha ha... nice science. Now I'm not so worried about THE FUCKING ATOM BOMBS they are working on."

Who says justice can't be blind, and nude?
A Mississippi library book ban on Jon Stewart's best selling political satire, America (The Book), has been reversed.

"Board member David Ogborn opposed lifting the ban. 'Our libraries are not a trash bin for pornographic materials,' he said."

"Tell that to L. Ron Hubbard."

If it's good enough for cheerleaders...
Arguably the most insane defense of torture was made by Specialist Charles Graner, currently facing a court martial for participating in the abuses at Abu Ghraib. Graner compared placing naked Iraqi prisoners in a human pyramid to "cheerleading". "Is that torture?" he asked.

Um... yeah.

Graner claims the abuse was sanctioned by his superiors, and seems optimistic, even though three other soldiers have already been convicted.

"'Whatever happens is going to happen, but I still feel it's going to be on the positive side and I'm going to have a smile on my face,' Spc Graner said last week."

"Maybe he'll get sentenced to 15 years at naked, blindfolded cheerleading camp."
