This little gem:

Kim Jong-un’s distinctive haircut is no laughing matter for North Korea. A London hair salon that put up a promotional poster of the country’s leader, with the tag line “Bad Hair Day?” is at the center of a diplomatic dispute.
The North Korean embassy has asked the British government to take action against the hair salon, calling the poster a “provocation.”
A British spokesman tells ABC News that the government in London “will respond in due course.”
After putting the poster in the window to advertise a special deal, the hair salon got a visit from two men in black suits from the North Korean embassy earlier this week.
Barber Karim Nabbach tells BBC News that the men demanded to know the name of the person who put the poster up. “I said you’re not having my name. If you want to take it any further, bring your lawyers in and we can take it from there.”
Nabbach said they contacted Scotland Yard about the visit, and police found the poster “funny.”
“Everyone finds it funny except for the North Korean embassy,” he said.
The embassy was unavailable for comment.

LOL!

My thoughts exactly. :D

And for those that are curious:

It's said that Kim Jong Un, or rather whatever consists of his personal advisors, is attempting to emulate the same look as the first Dear Leader Kim Il Sung (to which he does admittedly bare a resemblance). I guess someone didn't want to risk "falling off a truck" to tell him that particular haircut is painfully out of date :rolleyes:

But hey, at least he's got the bouffant hairdo covered, sort of (pun intended). Not sure if he's into platform shoes though...

Every Barber and Salon in England needs to put that sign up now.

You know, I was thinking...

Kim Il Sung is referred to by the Norks as the "Eternal President", among a slew of other things.

Kim Jong Il is referred to by the Norks as the "Eternal General", again, among a slew of other things.

So what's the Norks going to call Kim Jong Un when he croaks? (Preferably sooner than later, but I'm not holding my breath.)

"Eternal Fatboy"? :p
