Good ol' hatchet discipline. Kids misbehaving? Bring out the hatchet.

That makes perfect sense. Instead of educating students as to why public sauna orgies are a bad idea, more censorship! Wait, why are sauna orgies a bad idea? In a general sense, that is, not in this specific instance.

They aren't, but the specific instance matters quite a bit. North Korea may be pseudo-Communist but they're very conservative socially. Women riding bicycles is seen as disgustingly obscene. In one book I read about North Korean defectors a woman riding a bicycle was verbally abused by men from her village, shouting "You're going to tear your cunt!" at her. If a woman riding a bicycle is seen as obscene imagine how bad sauna orgies are.

"The minstry for people's safety" sounds like it's from 1984... and we all know how the ministries in 1984 were named.

They can indeed. Some have cars though they are rare. Bicycles are much more popular and are a common sight in the Hermit Kingdom.



Actually, forgive me, I didn't realise they had banned women riding bicycles by law. I think that poor lassie was riding bicycles illicitly, that's why the men were hurling abuse at her. Besides the obvious cultural stigma.

Okay, there's no way this isn't the government intentionally trolling people.

It is said that Kim Jong Il initially banned the use of bicycles in the 1990s after the daughter of a high-ranking official was killed in a traffic incident in Pyongyang. The North Korean state media subsequently justified it by saying that the image of a woman riding a bicycle runs contrary to socialist morals.
