Watching the Chiefs game last night, I hadn’t realized Al Davis had died, or that his son owned the team now. So during the game, when they kept showing shots of him, I wondered what sort of charity case he was or what the deal was with him.
So I Googled and found this Deadspin article that just had me laughing so hard I was gasping for breath:
:smack::eek:
I’m not a football fan so I had to google the guy.
Holy fuck, that is a seriously fucked up haircut. It’s like the Wendy’s girl and Pete Rose had a love child.
I didn’t think it was that bad. The worst thing is the color, unless he dyes it there really isn’t much he can do with it.
:eek: when I saw the pic.
He looks vaguely like Uncle Fester from the Addams Family movie when he forgot who he was and was wearing a horrible wig.
Seriously? :dubious:
This is why football related CTE’s are no laughing matter.
I didn’t know they were contagious.
I assumed he was a former player, coach.
Nope, just a weird neglected child of an eccentric (but far more fashion-conscious) rich NFL owner.
must be something about growing up in a wealthy environment. Would explain Donald Trump and Boris Johnson as well.
As any normal person can tell you, social mockery hurts. Any normal person has had a time in their life where they were in the middle of a group of people who were all laughing at them.
But it does serve a social purpose. It teaches you, in a manner you can’t ignore, what the standards of your society are. And then you either learn to comply with those standards and become part of the crowd or you learn to embrace your differences as an outsider to the crowd. Whether you follow them or defy them, you know what the rules are.
This doesn’t happen when you live your life surrounded by people who can’t laugh at you no matter how ridiculous you look. No matter how strange you are, you go around thinking you’re normal because nobody tells you otherwise. As a result, you never learn what real normal behavior is. If at some point you enter normal society, you discover that you’re an outsider but you don’t understand why. I think this is why a lot of rich people end up retreating back into a social bubble.
The first sentence is truly a thing of beauty.
Oh, poor thing.
No, no it isn’t, I’m not a stylish guy by any stretch of the imagination, but holy fuck that cut.
Clearly, somebody called him a dickhead and he decided ‘that’s a look that could work’.
Yeah, that guy’s a great writer (that sounds like I’m a longtime fan, but this is the first thing of his I’ve read AFAIK). My favorite line is almost at the end: “The best you can do when a grown man asks for a bowl cut is to convince him to turn himself in to the fucking police.” The fact that someone that rich not only lets himself look like that, but goes 500 miles to get it cut that way…just, no.
ETA:
You mean *rich *thing. 
Guy’s worth $500 million!
BTW, let’s not forget, in our horrified fascination with his haircut, the white fanny pack and 17-year-old minivan tricked out with a VHS player! :eek:
With that kind of wad, it don’t matter what he looks like. He’s gettin’ the pussy!
But is it the right kind of pussy? FTR, Melania Trump ain’t worth the money.
Thank you. That article was the funniest thing that I have read in ages.
