ROBERT PLANT AWARDED BEARD OF THE YEAR; WE BEG TO DIFFER

The Beard Liberation Front has endowed Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant with the “beard of the year” award for 2007, according to BBC News.

This is nothing short of an outrage; Plant’s paltry chin whiskers are an insult to those of us who take the art of beard growing very seriously and put real time and effort into our facial hair, present company included. We can think of at least two men — Justin Foley of Killswitch Engage and John Baizley of Baroness, both pictured below — whose manly manes put Plant’s to shame.

Beard Liberation Front — does this seriously exist? — fuck you!
