Follicly Challenged (Adjective) Follicly challenged is merely the etymologically correct spelling of
follically challenged, which is a euphemistic term for balding men. The
use of the word serves to lampoon the perceived overabundance of
"politically correct" synonyms for various minority groups.
The follicly-challenged Brendan Fraser made an appearance on MuchonDemand yesterday to promote one of the two, or both, of his unbelievably shitty-looking movies coming out this year,
Journey to the Center of the Earth and
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. And, as you can see by comparing the images from that appearance to
Brendan on a bad-hair day, he's an obvious master of the tousle. It's not an easy feat, for sure: It literally takes hours and a large staff to place each hair just right, space them out appropriately, and then freeze them to give the appearance of a (mostly) full head of hair. Granted, the hairlines still looks slightly funky, but the overall effect is remarkably clean.
Indeed, Brendan -- like the follicly challenged Matthew McConaughey -- is a testemant to the fact that a diligent work ethic and a fair amount of egotism will always win out in the battle against hair loss. Where there is a will -- and a few strands of hair -- there will always be a way.



Aw, that makes me feel kind of bad for him.
