According to my newspaper today (sorry no link) Ronaldo did it because his son mistook him for Roberto Carlos on the tele. Thanks Philosophocles for riminding me of the fabulous Valderama, who always looked like he was struggling to remain dignified despite his hair. ---

But he looks the same from the front, **hawthorne**. And from behind they have that crazy different numbered shirt thing going on. As someone siad on the teevee the other day; if you can’t tell the difference, the guy using rope for dental floss is Ronaldo. ---

Roberto Carlos was the (only slightly) oversized prototype for Mini-Me. If Ronaldo’s hair is indeed modelled on a neatly trimmed female pubic triangle, his face gives a new meaning to the myth of Vagina Dentata… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by El Elvis Rojo \* > \*\*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.

Daddy!’, when in truth it was a shot of Roberto Carlos taking a free kick. Since they both have a shaved head I can imagine this actually causing confusion for a three year old. So, to make sure his little tyke doen’t smooch anymore pictures of Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo decided to make his scalp a little more ‘distinctive’.
