This is such a disgrace.  I just finished reading an article about how North Korea is imposing restrictions on haircuts men should have, and then I read this, which isn't terribly far off.  People spent decades fighting for the right to free expression and there are still institutions in this country who fight to limit it (like the FCC and the “Christian Right” for example).  If you don't like Jon Stewart's book, don't read it.  No one said you had to.  Someone needs to wake up these people who forget how important our freedoms are.  Maybe if we could ship some of these ultraconservative folks from the midwest and the south to Pyongyang for a nice vacation, they'd start to understand how important those rights are.
