![]() ![]() Nietzsche was philosophy’s supreme iconoclast his sayings include “God is dead” and “There are no facts, only interpretations”. Maybe the most important question of all is, is he trying to be a trendsetter? Is he succeeding? Is this paving the way to lift the moratorium on the Hitler stache? What if we start calling it a Chaplin stache? We may never know.Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx and Charles Darwin are the great triumvirate of 19th-century thinkers whose ideas still have huge impact today. To wear the stache is one level of giant grapefruit sized balls, but refusing to shave a Hitler stache and demanding it be broadcast nationally in an advertisement for underwear. It had to get by the make-up people, the director, everyone on set, and then it had to get by the Hanes and television executives who likely just shrugged their shoulders and threw it out there.īut what I want to know is did anyone say anything to him or were they too scared? If they did say something to him, did he refuse to shave it off? If so, that would be an amazing amount of chutzpah. That means it had to get by any number of people to get there. It was in a nationally televised advertisement. Perhaps it was “I’m Michael fucking Jordan, I dare anyone to tell me I can’t have a Hitler stache.” Did he do it himself or was there a stylist involved? Perhaps a barber? There are so many questions that need answering.īut what makes it even better is that it was in a Hanes commercial. I’d like to know what was going through his head at the time. I don’t know if he consciously made the decision or it just sort of happened. I don’t know if I should be upset with MJ or impressed. But we made our decision and that’s just the way it has been. I mean, clearly his mustache was not responsible for the barbarous acts and mass murder of the Nazi regime. As a society, as a group, we collectively decided that it just wasn’t okay to have that specific facial hair arrangement anymore. There has been an unspoken ban on the Hitler stache. What?! That is insane! What makes this particularly fascinating is the fact that it highlights an unprecedented phenomenon that has existed in our society for the past 60 some odd years. What actually occurred is that there is a current Hanes ad featuring Michael Jordan, perhaps the greatest basketball player to ever live and arguably the most famous athlete of all time, in which Michael Jordan has his mustache styled in a manner similar to that of 20 th Century German dictator and all around douche, Adolf Hitler. So since the lamestream media is too busy with its “actual news” I guess it falls on me to alert the world to this world obliterating development. Not to mention that this story has so many angles! It combines three of my greatest fascinations: the NBA, facial hair, and Hitler related humor. C’mon, I think it’s clear which one is more important. It’s sad, but we’re talking about a celebrity with some very taboo facial hair here. ![]() Every news report seems to be all “catastrophic man made ecological disaster destroying an entire ecosystem that will take decades to recover, birds dying, wah wah wah.” Look, I get it. I am talking, of course, about Michael Jordan sporting a Hitler stache.įrankly, it is frightening how little play this is getting in the media. ![]() A seismic event has occurred, one that will rock us cold to our very souls for years to come. ![]()
