There’s a crisis in the Middle East, ladies and gentlemen.

For centuries, the mullet has stood on the threshold of visual offense and radical expression of freedom.

And in yet another move to isolate itself from the global Wayne’s World generation, Iran has banned that most majestic and elusive of creatures, the mullet.

Imagine a country where a man with a ponytail could have it cut off by the cops, as could one with a mullet, or one whose hair was slathered in gel, fancifully spiked, or simply too long. Repeat offenders would face stiff fines, while their barber-accomplices would have their buy popular antidepressants shops closed.

This is apparently in an effort to free the nation of “decadent” western cuts – it’s short back and sides for everyone. You certainly won’t find anything as decadent as a Don King in Iran.

Or will you? If you look just a little harder, and shift your paradigm about 180 degrees, you might find a hair hall of fame, waiting to happen.

Know what I’m saying?

Oh yes, the chin-hawk. Mullets are out, head hair is so last millenium. The everlasting chin-hawk, that’s where it’s at, baby.

I’m pretty sure that’s the very essence of decadence.

You go, guy.
