Kim Jong Un | The Adobo Chronicles

Pyongyang, North Korea – The world is just now learning about a two-week old new law in North Korea mandating that all men must sport the same hairstyle worn by their young leader – short on either side and long and fluffy on top.

Today, however, the North Korean president admitted that the inspiration behind his distinctive haircut comes from two young Western celebrities, one male and one female.

Pressed by reporters to name his inspiration, Kim Jong-un did not hesitate to reveal the two celebrities : Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus.

Sources close to Kim also said that the president is thinking of adding some facial accessories to complement his hairstyle : earrings and nose and lip rings, much like his idol Dennis Rodman. Korean men could be required to sport similar accessories in the future.

Manila, Philippines – According to a new law recently passed in North Korea, all men are now required to sport the exact same haircut as President Kim Jong-un. Previously, men were given several choices of state-approved hairstyles. There is no change as far as women’s hairstyles are concerned.

Elsewhere in Asia, Philippine President NoyNoy Aquino has issued a new executive order mandating that all Filipinos speak only in Tagalog, the country’s national language. Aquino is known for always using Tagalog in his major speeches and press conferences. “Ang Tagalog ang siyang magdudulot ng pagkakaisa ng lahat ng Pilipino,” (Tagalog will bring about unity among all Filipinos) Aquino said as he announced the new executive order.

Filipinos with American and other foreign passports are exempted from the new rule.

Aquino tasked the Philippine National Police (PNP) to implement the order which provides for a fine of up to five thousand pesos for the first offense, and six months in jail for each succeeding violation.

Any civilian who reports a violator to the police will receive 10% of the fine as reward and incentive.
