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!

Justin Foley wins the title in my opinion.
So, just growing a big wad of facial hair qualifies as a good beard?
I agree that Plant’s van dyke is just a plain, ’90s San Diego Padres beard, though. Now, if there was an award for “Heads of Hair on 59-year-old Men” then I’d give it to Plant hands down.
Yeah, Foley’s rusty red viking beard is pretty mantastic.
Foley’s beard is awesome. however the best beard will be always the Dimebag’s signature colored goatee.
Uh. Vince — why aren’t you on this list?? Your facial homage to Fidel deserves much more hype than it gets on the circuit…
I have no idea why this pisses me off so much.
1. It’s not a beard
2. Even if it were a beard, Kerry King whips Plant’s Ass in the Van Dyke Dept.
3. It’s not a beard.
Who in the hell decided this!…what???
