SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea's communist government is urging women in the country to wear traditional Korean clothes instead of pants, according to a North Korean monthly magazine. "Keeping alive our dress style is a very important political issue to adhere to specific national cultural traditions at a time when the U.S. imperialists are maneuvering to spread the rotten bourgeois lifestyle inside North Korea," the Joson Yeosung (Woman) magazine said, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.
There are so many ways to attack this one fucking sentence, I don't know how to start. "Important political issue"...!?!? The only people in the world that could ever accept this as fact, live under the D.P.R.K's rule. The things that come out of the mouth of these people really do defy logic in every sense of the term. This story is a pure and simple indictment, of how bad it really is in North Korea.

ok. try to view this objectively= clothes are part of culture. keeping culture is an important part of politics.
i'm not defending this, but can't you see where its coming from?
Good point. It would not have even been a noteworth story, but for the way "U.S imperialists" are portrayed, yet again, as the root cause of North Korea's problems.
