He has also renamed April - and bread - after his late mother. He has reportedly banned gold teeth, smoking, video games, recorded music, lip-syncing to songs, makeup on newscasters, young men from growing beards or long hair, and anyone from owning more than one cat or dog. Doctors swear allegiance to him, and licensed drivers have to take a morality test."
