Hold on to your butts, it’s The Internets

We’ve been discussing a lot about how people like to mess with things that are none of their business by using the internets. Either they’re bored, malevolent, or just out to see who’s the mackest daddy of them all at being a jerk. A whole world away from these nard-kickers are the innocent web-communities of people looking for like-minded individuals to discuss pressing issues with. Such as the good folk at mlhh.org (that’s Men’s Long Hair Hyperboard). These dashing gents take their lush locks very seriously, discussing how to brush their precious tresses, probably what vitamins make them blow in the wind more gracefully, and, surely, what gentle lullaby to sing to them at night. These guys rock their immaculate manes for the greater good of all long-hairs, which is decidedly un-insalubrious and a far cry from the hackers we’ve been talking about. It’s refreshing to see the internets being used in an innocent (albeit creepy) manner for once. This group must be good for long-haired self-esteem, if the lad on their home page is any indication. He's half Allman Brothers roadie and half Unabomber, but he looks as though he knows that he's actually complete sexiness.
