And speaking of Ken Burns, he is giving serious competition to Robert Redford in the Worst Celebrity Toupee competition:

He alternates this one with another one with ridiculous bangs instead of the irregular part - Ken, the '60s British bands called and they would like their hair returned


I can unnerstan on-camera performers like anchormen and actors dyeing their hair to the point of ridiculousness and wearing wigs (or in cueball Howard Stern's lingo, a 'hair system') because ageism is a huge factor in employment decisions for on-screen work.

So I can maybe give Redford a pass for the orange racoon typhoon he staples to his lid.

Butt Ken Burns is BEHIND the camera. No need to make a fool of himself by pasting and gluing a dead skunk to his dome. If you're gonna gett a hairpiece and be a weak ego fraudster, at least gett sumthin that is nott utterly ridiculous. Most people never knew John Wayne wore toupees most of his post-1950s films - until they see candid photos of him from when he was shooting Green Berets and he couldn't wear his toupee under a helmet in that humidity. Hardly anyone knew that Jimmy Stewart wore a wig for most of his later career - Jimmy and John both paid a bundle to gett GOOD wigs that looked reasonable. Even Frank (Sinatra) had reasonable looking toupees.

Butt Burns is really pushing the boundaries of surrealism with his pasted skunk. C'mon, Ken, cut the pretense and show your real dome or at least spend a few ducats and gett something that's nott ridiculous for a 62 year-old to wear. Shirley you can afford it.

And real men who are secure don't dye their hair, gett plugs, or sport a dead animal nailed to their cranium unless they must for professional reasons (actor, anchorman, professional douchebag in a late midlife crisis with a red sports car looking for women 40 years younger, pennystock promoter, pennyscam CEO).
