Communist Dictators are the new It crowd?

Dear Lord in heaven. Is this funny or horrifying? I honestly don't know.

Excuse me, Mr. state-run-media Uriminzokkiri, but this...

...is not the look I'm going for when I stand in front of my closet each morning. But then again, I don't live in North Korea.

There are lots of politicians who can make clothing look good. Nancy Pelosi looks chic and pulled together 100% of the time, even if she does wear the same strand of pearls with everything. John Edwards understands the necessity of a good haircut, and even Vladimir Putin keeps in good shape to imtimidate impress other world leaders.

But if I were to compile a top five list of politicians whose appearance SHOULDN'T be emulated, it might go in this order:
1.) Adolf Hitler
2.) Joseph Stalin's very manly 'stache and cossack hat combo
3.) Kim Jong-il (I don't care how comfy khaki is)
4.) Imelda Marcos (seriously, it doesn't matter how many pairs of shoes you had; money doesn't cure tacky)
5.) Gandhi (no disrespect intended, and maybe not a politician per say, but no grown man can make a glorified diaper look good)
