This was the original post… \>\>\> I just don’t get it. Perhaps this new hairstyle was designed to inspire fear into your opponents? Perhaps it was designed to sell new Ronaldo action figures? Perhaps it was a barber’s mistake? All it accomplished here was for my sweetheart to snicker and laugh every time she saw it on screen, and make off-color jokes early in the morning. 😃 \>\>\> ---

[Ronaldo](http://thekingronaldinho.free.fr/history/biography.htm) is a Brazilian football player and one of the most talented strikers in the world today. He played for Brazil today in the World Cup final against Germany, [and has recently had a very silly haircut (see picture six in this BBC gallery)](http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/photo_galleries/newsid_2076000/2076188.stm). ---

Well you could have posted this yesterday. I thought _everyone_ was getting one done … BTW, I’ve seen a few botched trims in my time but I’ve never seen a snatch like that - sounds like the gentler sex over your way have more lawn than Wimbledon.

Maybe that’s the idea. To get the young horny guys on the opposing team to think about sex just long enough for him to get the ball past them. So after they wouldn’t let him paint fake breasts on his uniform… ---

Conversely… “And [surgery nurses] don’t shave it all nice and neat, oh no no no. They just chunk off the top half, for a sort of Jane Fonda in Klute, Carol Brady shag thing. Loooook! It’s a Dorothy Hamill! No, I love it. I’ll never get it to look this good at home.” -Suzanne Westenhoefer ---

I’m curious as to how people in Brazil feel about the haircut? Do you think that, with their victory, you’re going to see a lot more people walking around with that hairstyle? It’d be an interesting psychological study. I mean, you have dozens of people walking around with this stupid hair cut, knowing it’s a stupid hair cut, yet announcing that they love it and it’s cool. and you’ve got everyone else thinking it’s a stupid hair cut, but saying “No, it looks GREAT!!” An entire society putting up with crappy hair cuts in the name of soccer. MAN professional sports are so cool. ---
