    Interesting, the dictatorship is losing its iron grip on the peoples' perception of reality. Could it signal the beginning of the end of their government?

    I agree that banning sarcasm is more important than creating jobs or decreasing the homeless population. Way to go Kim Jong UN! Best country of all time!

    He's probably going to try to ban emotions next.

    The DPRK is on it's way out, I give them another twenty years, tops, before some uprising occurs and they decide to open themselves up for trade with the outside world. You can't have a nation that cuts itself off completely. Imagine if every business was just Walmart, Walmart Groceries, Walmart Bank, Walmart Clothes, they'd have no other businesses to do business with. Any sort of monopoly is a pending disaster.

    As for the sarcasm thing, I think about 99% of the DPRK doesn't really follow his rules considering most of them are farmers or living in shantytowns with few rules. The country's falling into anarchy, so when it says Kim Jong Un has banned sarcasm in North Korea, what they're really saying is sarcasm is banned in Pyongyang, which is the capital city of the DPRK, and what we see the most of in the news. Not the actual country itself-- it's like saying all of America is represented by Texas.
