This weekend, in Hollywood, They are havingf auditions for a new Reality TV show called "WHO WANTS A HAIRCUT". They are casting Men with very LONG hair so they can cut it short for the show. And they are NOT paying you for the privelege of working on their show. This is another major insult and attack against Long hair on Men. The Casting director is EVAN MAJORS. If I had an address or phone # I would complain. We do not want this kind of programming on TV>
What a load of crap, i find it hard to believe that anyone would actually want to watch a show like this never mind be on it. Anyone who actually participates in this is clearly not a true longhair at heart if they are willing to sacrifice their hair just for a few minutes of fame.
Hopefully they will not get very many people, if any at all, and this show will not even get aired.
Well more fool the people that want a haircut and to appear on the show! They must be lemmings! Perhaps feeble or weak of mind!
Cheers,

And who would want to watch such a thing? What an idiotic idea for a show.
This kind of garbage reminds me of a scene in the Truffault 1966 film "Fahrenheit 451", where a long-haired (for 1966) youth is accosted by police and taken to a barbershop for a buzz cut.
Fahrenheit 451 is based on a novel by the same title by Ray Bradbury about a society where TV dominates and books are banned, and the title refers to the temperature at which paper catches fire. Ray Bradbury was scared of tech before it became part of our real lives. The Movie showed people having wide screen TV's in their homes, long before they became reality, and the content was very similar to today's reality TV.

WOW, now that is really weird that they're not even offering any pay to be on this show... Why else would a guy want to cut his hair on TV? I mean, everybody has a price -- even myself, if it was a big enough $$$ amount for me to be able to buy myself a real nice house, for example (I rent a small studio apartment in expensive San Francisco)... Then again, because I'm so attached to my long hair, those TV executives would have to make me an EXCEPTIONALLY sweet deal in order for me to be truly willing to cut it. "I'd like one of those awesome-looking mansions right on the ocean with a spectacular view of the Golden Gate Bridge, please!" Yep, I'd be willing to cut my hair in that case... That would be the equivalent of around 10 or more million $$$!!!!
