President of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Niyazov
He has banned beards and listening to car radios, and instituted a national holiday in honour of a melon. Now the world's craziest dictator has identified a new and pressing danger to his people: gold teeth.
Laugh at the primitive government! Someday they will be advanced like us!

There's also this, from the BBC's country profile of Turkmenistan:
Mr Niyazov underwent major heart surgery in 1997, after which he quit smoking, ordered all his ministers to do likewise and banned smoking in public places. When Mr Niyazov started to go bald after the operation he resorted to Chinese herbal remedies, he said, to save his people from the "unpleasantness" of having a bald leader. |
