I have to say, I never thought about the actual effect that all this Internet hoopla would have on the human being who actually chose to have that haircut. Having a haircut like that is a choice. Especially when bald and balding guys everywhere are totally allowed to shave their heads. I do — and unless Chris has a nest of purple tumors on the back of his dome, that option is available to him, too.
For the uninitiated, Gawker picked up this story in 2008 about a dude in the ‘Burg with a silly haircut. That basically escalated into a few days for stalking/tracking this guys movements around the neighborhood.
What makes this great is that its a story about an internet sensation, told from the point of view of the unknowing subjects’ point of view.
