Turkmenistan President Saparmurat Niyazov has passed a decree forbidding young men in the country to wear long hair or beards

'It is forbidden now to listen to car radios or to smoke in the street; opera and ballet performances have been banned on the grounds that they are unnecessary.'


NOW THAT'S HILARIOUS.

The whole 'unnecassary' thing is what kills me. This guy goes around saying 'Don't do that.' People ask why and he says it's unnecassary. Imagine this guy at a party!
