Could somebody be this hairy!

This from uglypeople.com, I can’t honestly believe a person could be this hairy. This dude could go shirtless in December!

Bic here.

True or false?

True. There was a whole family of people like that on some TV show. Thier entire faces were covered with hair as well.

Barney Rubble, what an actor!

Apparently, you’ve never visited the West Side of Buffalo. :slight_smile:

There is actually 3 generations in a family in Mexico that as mblackwell said are entirely covered in hair even their faces. I believe it is called hypertrichosis. The guy in the picture from the OP doesn’t hve this, but yes people can be hairier.

I saw them on Guiness primetime on Fox. One of the women complained of being unable to find a job, and I wondered why she couldn’t just shave. Perhaps she was proud to be different.

Heck, with that guy, you could still see skin showing through in a few places. I’ve personally known people hairier than that.

As have I. I knew a guy whose back was harier than some faculty members’ faces.

How come those hairy people don’t do much about it? There are hair removal treatments out there…

Also:- How do they get those pics on uglypeople.com? Do people actually volunteer images of themselves?

No, Zoggie, people just send in anybody they think deserves it. Bruce Villanch and Harry Knowles have both made it, as has Linda Tripp, out of ‘famous’ people.

Quick FYI: Although the vast majority of our hair folicles are inactive (thank God!), humans are actually more hairy than chimps.

In Nuc Power School, I had an instructor so hairy that he had to trim his wrist to wear a watch. Very strange looking, as he had that golden-blonde hair you see on california surf ads. We called him the FurMonster.

I took a quick peek at the website: http://www.uglypeople.com

That was the most disturbing thing I’ve seen all month, bar none.

I hope he doesn’t go bald, that would be one scary comb-over!

I looked at a few other pictures on that site. But only a few, because some of them were just plain scary.

Is this inbreeding or what.

I like this one…or not…how am I going to sleep now?

Mongrel_8’s family (you know what I mean) can be found at Lili’s Fanpage. You can also see a picture of Jojo the Wolf Man.

Whoo!! Here’s a whole bunch of hairy peoples!! Check out Lionel. Now that’s some hair.

What I want to know is, when this guy trims his beard and shaves his neck, how does he know when to stop shaving??

Truly there is a web site for everything.

Of course, my favorite for stuff like this is still this one.

Yeah, and how come those black skinned people don’t do much about their color? I mean, there are skin-lightening products and make-up and all.

I thought this url had been thoroughly rejected here.

“Jojo the Wolf Man?”

When I used to see him at Barnum’s Museum on lower Broadway, he was billed as “Jo Jo the Dog-Faced Boy.”
