You can’t even make this stuff up.
The people of North Korea are oppressed and starving. They have no freedom. Their loyalty MUST lie with Kim Jong-un, or else. He’s a hideous dictator who tortures (and murders) dissenters and watches as his people starve.
But listen. He totally has a solution. Edible clothing, duh!
I am not making this up. Because North Korea is North Korea, Kim Jong-un had his “Clothing Research Centre” do some research, and it determined that edible clothing was the way to go.
The clothing was revealed alongside other fashion lines, including women’s items, in a series of glossy catalougues put together by Kim’s Clothing Research Centre, under the Ministry of Foodstuffs and Daily Necessities.
The edible items include jackets while the women’s clothes include Chanel rip-offs and cut-price Gucci handbags.
A listing about the edible line reads: ‘Clothing made of artificial flannelette fabrics composed of trace elements such as protein, amino acids, fruit juice, magnesium, iron and calcium can be eaten to avoid starvation.’
Are you starving, because your country is a rotten craphole? No problem! Rip off your sleeve and give it to your kid. Dinner is served!
The catalogue also claims that ‘clothing with intelligent sleeves’ can ‘monitor or sense the health condition of the human body’.
Question– are the intelligent sleeves also edible?
I can’t believe that was an Actual Question.
So yeah. Edible clothes. North Korea is so ahead of the curve. CLEARLY.
