this is not okay.

from the time i was born until the time i was about 22 i had never seen my dad's upper lip because it was hidden behind his soup strainer mustache. one day i came home from college for the weekend and it was gone. i'm sure he was very attached to it, but he did the right thing. he shaved that bad boy off and to my knowledge, he has never looked back. today, msn posted an article about regrettable trends in pop culture, and while i feel the list may have overlooked several thousand items, i have to agree that this, perhaps, is one of the most regrettable and the one i'd most like to put a stop to immediately.
