Mullet Man

The mullet is alternately known as the Mississippi mud flap, the neck
blanket, the Kentucky waterfall, Achy Breaky hair, and the Camaro cut.

On a woman: Femmullet.

On a child: Child abuse.

Some 20 entrants, competing for a blue ribbon and an airbrushed
painting of one of cinema’s most popular mullet-wearers, Joe Dirt, had
their mullets measured by judges from the Iowa School of Beauty.

“We think it’s coming back,” school instructor Aimee Jarshaw said forebodingly.

“It always gets made fun of, but I think people secretly love the
mullet,” said John Jayne, 47, of Des Moines. “People take my picture.
Say it’s a hockey haircut.”

A half hour into a Southwest flight, a man exposed himself to a female passenger. “Her scream apparently upset him, and he ended up punching her.”

Flight attendants and other passengers (then) wrestled with the 300-pound man, who flailed at flight attendants and broke away, stripped naked and was lying in the plane’s aisle as it made a return trip to Oakland to remove the man. The man was taken into custody without incident.

The BBC convinced 13 year old Scott Campbell to swap his iPod for a Walkman and use it for a week. The first shock came just from seeing the thing:

[My Dad] had told me it was big, but I hadn’t realised he meant THAT big. It was the size of a small book.

It gets worse from there. Wearing the 30 year old device on his belt (“it is certainly not pocket-sized, unless you have large pockets”) Scott felt embarrassed at the attentions of passersby as they stared and shouted insults.

Other problems included lack of a shuffle mode (“I managed to create an impromptu shuffle feature simply by holding down “rewind” and releasing it randomly”), terrible battery life (three hours), sound quality (we’d disagree — even a tape sounds better than the average MP3), and capacity (twelve tracks in your pocket!).

Scott had some operational troubles, too: “It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape.” The ultimate insult comes at the end, though:

Did my dad, Alan, really ever think this was a credible piece of technology?

Ouch!
