Mulletproof Vest

No more bad hair guys
 
(+6, -6)
  [vote for,

A vest with an unusual collar, embedded with tiny razor blades.

For simple folk, like Billy Ray Cyrus and that repo guy, Dog Someone, who just don't know any better, you convince them there is an imminent threat to their lives that necessitates each of them wearing one of these, which they assume is either to stop bullets or thrown fish.

The net effect is to cut the wearer's hair off at the top edge of the collar, strand by strand, and maintain it at that length.

This will save us all from having to look at their skanky hairstyles. They will benefit from looking slightly less dopey and out of touch with reality, whether they are, or not.

All the world's mullets... http://www.fishbase...mcode=359&areacode=
...and not an unusual hairstyle amongst the lot. [DrBob, Oct 05 2009]

       [ ] I really don't know why everybody is so anti-mullet: it's not the dumbest looking hairstyle of all time (well, probably not anyways).

       Ah! The Mullet!. The Hairstyle of the Gods!.
Dunno who wrote the book that my brother has but here is a link to the Mulletin Board.

       Didn't Paul McCartney write a song about that hairstyle? Mullet of Kintyre.

       When I started to go bald I almost went with the dreaded comb-over, but instead I chopped off my flowing locks and wove them into this stunning amullet.   

       Billy Ray Cyrus actually has a song out called 'I want my mullet back'. It's one of my favorites.

       Couldn't you make it chop of their heads, by accident, instead? (oops sorry quest, didn't know he had a fan)

       I saw a whole family of mullet, in the park yesteray. Grandfather, father, mother and three kids. All sporting the legionnaire's cap barnet, proudly clinging in greasy, matted locks to their ugly, misshapen heads.   

       The things you see when you don't have a gun!

       Shame on you for failing to carry you personal weapon(s) at all times......

       Shame, indeed!

       I think we need to be more open-minded and respectful of those who choose alternative hairstyles.
tatterdemalion, Oct 04 2009
  

       Let them wear merkins, if they want alternative hairstyles. Mullets should be fish, and that's the end of that.

       See [link], re: Mullet, the fish.
UnaBubba, Oct 05 2009
  

       They're amazing as bait. A couple buddies and I used to go fishing in the Gulf of Mexico when stationed in Florida, and we'd catch the tiny buggers in tide pools with a casting net. Caught all sorts of fish with those little guys... salt water catfish, bass, skates, and a few other kinds of bass. Good times, good times...
21 Quest, Oct 05 2009
  

       As the owner of a skanky hairstyle myself (although not a mullet I hasten, rather hypocritically, to add), I rather object to this idea. People should be free to look and dress how they like even if, to take an example completely at random, they should choose to shave crop circles in their hair.

Feel free to poke fun at them, yes. But enforced hair cuts is a crime against humanity if you ask me. So poo to you with knobs on, 'bubba! ;o)

I'm more interested in the concept of anti-mullet (the fish) protection though. Mullet attacks are a growing threat in the civilised world.
DrBob, Oct 05 2009
  

       I see a few mullet thrown this way. I think I've also just realised what [DrBob] combs his hair with, each morning.
UnaBubba, Oct 05 2009
  

       //convince them there is an imminent threat to their lives that necessitates each of them wearing one of these//   

       Or just adorn the vests with NASCAR logos. The selection process would be pretty much self-sustained.

       Here in Canada we call it hockey hair, but a mullet by any other name ...   

       I'll add my concern as well. I mean today it's the mullet, but what of tomorrow? Cornrows? Dreadlocks? Whatever that mess Donald Trump wears is called?   

       Kind of makes me thankful for male pattern baldness.
Canuck, Oct 05 2009
  

       To combat cornrows and dreadlocks, you'll need a Honing Hoodie and Depilating Du-Rag.

       //To combat cornrows and dreadlocks, you'll need a Honing Hoodie and Depilating Du-Rag//   

       Ha! I'd drink to that anno, but I'm at work.   

       <glancing around>   

       Ah, screw it.
