For the record:

• The New Zealand Herald is a credible source: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-zealand-herald/
• Radio Free Asia is a credible source: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/radio-free-asia/
• Kim Jong Un is a brutal dictator who starves the people of North Korea, and news stories that document his atrocities aren't racist.
• If you want to come to this sub to argue in favor of fascist regimes, don't be surprised when your account is banned and your content is removed.
• The story stays. It's from a legitimate news source, and it's a very bizarre, Onion-y headline.

Misread it as "Kim Jong un-bans hotdogs" at first and was confused why cooking them was still an act of treason.

So were the hot dogs banned, or Un-banned?

Reddit also censoring people who question the RFA story: https://undelete.pullpush.io/r/worldnews/comments/1hvbo9i/kim_jongun_bans_hotdogs_for_north_koreans_cooking/m5s1grw

"Mmmmmm . . . treason dogs."

Hotdogs/sausages are the perfect food. They are intestine shaped and that’s smart design. Peak art

Okay, time to go. If @kescusay@lemmy.world is not even willing to CONSIDER that RFA might be bullshiting on this picked-up Article from The Sun, then I don't want to spend my time here.

This is the same shit as with Tankies, just in blue.

Other forms of cooking are fine, but boiling hot dogs should be illegal everywhere (grilling is where it’s at, baby). Regardless, calling it treason is a bit much, and pretty weird.
