Irish teens keep the mullet alive

Saturday April 05 2008

Is it just me or has the most hideous of hairstyles, the mullet, become popular in this country almost overnight?

The mullet has seen a messiah-like revival, and I, for one, think it should remain six feet under. Let's be blunt, this haircut is a monstrosity, so how did it become popular with the youth in Ireland?

For some bizarre reason, 13- to 18-year-old boys have adopted these mullets.

However, they wouldn't like to think that they are sporting such a hick hairstyle, so they dye the fringe to disguise the fact that they do in fact have a mullet.

Well, dye or no dye, short hair and shaved sides with raggedy feathers hanging from the back is a mullet, and there is no getting away from that fact.

Mullets should not exist in the 21st century, and no one should ever be subjected to the sight of them.
