The censoring is said to be linked to Kim Jong Un’s regime’s efforts to restrict Western fashion and culture in North Korea, NKNews reports.
Blue jeans are said to be a sign of the West, according to the outlet, and have been essentially banned since the 1990s.
… What the fuck? Do they only wear cargo pants or something?
I wonder if that’s an attempt at hiding his fat chicken thighs…
Do you really not know any leg-wear besides jeans and cargo pants? Lol
Those are literally the two types of pant
Is this some kind of joke or reference to something? Lol
Only time will tell my friend, but we all put pant on the same way: one leg time
What else are you gonna wear in a casual situation? Khakis, chinos? Most casual pants are made out of jeans material, blue no less.
Khakis and chinos look like pretty regular trousers without being jeans or cargo pants
Next time I’m feeling useless, I’ll remember that it’s somebody’s job to blur out blue jeans for North Korean television. Sucks that a frame of the forbidden fabric could land multiple generations of their family in prison for life though, bit of a downer.
This is despite the country briefly exporting designer jeans to Sweden.
The Onion rarely gets better than this
Those Koreans must be so confused. First there is something so nice and wholesome as British gardening shows and then the pants get censored? Wtf is going on in UK? Anyway pass the meth pipe please.
Alan Titchmarsh must have a hell of a hog for them to just say, “Fuck it, just blur his entire bottom half and be done with it.”
Bloody North Korean pirates…
Blue Jeans
Alan’s got blue jeans
Like a clear, blue sky
Watchin’ over me…
