Hilarious!!
A London Hairdresser with a sense of humour stuck a poster up in his shop window of Kim Jong-un reading, "Bad Hair Day? 15% off all Gents cuts through April".
But instead of attracting customers, it attracted 'officials' from the North Korean Embassy who gathered outside taking photographs and making notes, then ordered him to take the poster down as he was being disrespectful to their Leader! The Hairdresser told them, " this is England and not North Korea and told them to get their lawyers!!"
He eventually removed it but his clients told him to ignore the Korean 'officials' and put it back up.
The Police then got involved but the poster remains!!

Another example of why people shouldn't always believe every piece of gossip they read in the papers but it's easy to let yourself believe any negative rumours about a man who we know for a fact has done nasty stuff in the past.
This is the thing. Basically the papers can say anything they want about N Korea, and because we know the guy's a dick we'll believe it.
He obviously is a bad man but I've no doubt that some of the more extreme stories reported about him are false. The word of every North Korean defector is instantly accepted as truth by the media using the word "revealed" instead of "alleged" while discussing their claims. If the North started publishing scare stories of the South quoting a defector our media would be calling the integrity of the defector into account and asking what proof they had. They don't seem to demand proof or question the integrity and motivation of the defector which is very silly especially when you consider that people wanting asylum have a very good motive to exaggerate or even lie about the hardship they will face at home in order to be accepted.
I like the fact that the North Korean Embassy is just an ordinary house on Gunnersbury Avenue. Wonder if they are good neighbours ?
Some bloke stuck a poster up in his shop window FGS!! The photograph is there to prove it's existence!
Or was it the work of subversives and political activists busying themselves with Photoshop? :cool:
- It's the story about Korean men having to have the same haircut that's being questioned here.
Im not keen on a "Kim" or a "Jong"
If he sees anyone with a flamethrower, id run if i was him
That poster looked pretty accurate to me........
I used to drive past it every weekday morning.
I never noticed it was there. I never saw that flag or flagpole.
He did.
It's in the "Big Book of Style for Dictators, Tyrants and other Baddies"
That's why they all wear those buttoned up Mao Suit Jackets, it's the done thing.
