Now if it was Sean Connery, it'd be impressive. I mean his chest hair qualifies as an ecosystem all by itself, right?

I did not need to click on that. But thank you.

I do prefer my forests unwaxed.

I see your Sean Connery and raise you Robin Williams.

How about "Robin Williams Takes A Bullet In The Head For Climate Change".

It wouldn't solve the problem of climate change, but it would solve the problem of Robin Williams.

Yeah, he sucks now, but back in the day he was funny as hell.

Well, if Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown was there and saw it happen, then a tree definitely fell in the woods.

Also Robin Williams (still) kicks ass.

If he'd had the sack 'n' crack wax I'd have paid good money to watch.

which would kind of defeat the purpose.

They did a full body wax on Chewbacca first. Turns out he's Martha Stewart. Who knew?

I am very much against this and don't want to see it become a trend.

I'm with BoPo. Dudes should not depilate.

Harrison Ford has always struck me as being fairly down-to-earth guy (for a multi-millionaire movie actor who flies his own helicopter). This, though, just makes me wonder what the thought process might have been.

Some dudes SHOULD depliate. Like, if it peeks out the bottom of your shirt (or over the top of your pants).

And I'm speaking from personal experience here, although the dude in question usually just shaved it off.

Well, college student and camp counsellors regularly raffle off "a chance to shave my head" for chariy. I don't really see the difference, besides the fact that HF's got a PR firm, and hence we get to make fun of him for it.

I think the issue is that few of the shaven compare their plight to that of endangered geographic areas.

And, of course, the publicists.

Well, then, I'll tell my agent to cancel tommorow's photo-op over the sink.

I'll make a note to my Future Famous Self to never make a joke.

The headline had been thinking Gerald Ford. Now that would have been interesting.
