Kim Jong-un Bans Sarcasm In North Korea

We all know North Korea’s Kim Jong-un is what you’d politely call a ‘conservative’ leader.

Yet his latest move is arguably his oddest yet. 

He has ‘banned sarcasm’ for fears that people will only agree with him ironically, according to reports.

Great job, Kim.

Radio Free Asia’s Korean Services quote a source as saying; “One state security official personally organised a meeting to alert local residents to potential ‘hostile actions’ by internal rebellious elements. The main point of the lecture was ‘keep your mouths shut’.

The internet has reacted as you’d expect.
