Hair Boy — the website

As I like to tell my wife, there nothing wrong with being hairy:
Hair boy

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - He is an aspiring rock star, but Yu Zhenhuan’s claim to fame for now is that he is the hairiest man in all of China.

Hair covers 96 percent of Yu’s body. He may be surpassed only by a pair of Mexican brothers — Victor “Larry” and Gabriel “Danny” Ramos Gomez — listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as having 98 percent hair cover.

The 26-year-old Yu is candid and unembarrassed about a condition that has made him a phenomenon in China since he was born.

A stringy black fuzz matts every inch of his lanky frame, save for the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet.

And Yu has chosen to make use of his unique physical appearance, placing photos of himself on his Web site www.maohai.com — or Hairboy.com — as part of a drive to land a recording contract and become China’s newest rock star.

Read the rest on your own.

    … or, maybe he waxes his tummy

    Thankfully, I’m as hirsute as him elsewhere.

    The guy is hairy on the face, and that’s it?! And a lot of the coverage is just from the hair being so damn long - it’s not that thick. The upper arms a bit hairy, but nothing a little cream could take care of. I mean, I had a Philipino girlfriend whose arms might have been that bad had she not shaved.

    I’m disappointed, I really am. My torso has that much hair. Maybe I’ll be a rock star in China, too…….

    Hair is as hair does.
    (via The Marmot.) Weird. Some Chinese guy wants to be a rock star and is doing so by displaying his hair for all to see. Even his surname means “hair” and first name (along with a honorific) when rendered in English is “Hai-er.” So, it’s “Hair ha…

    Shit. I have more hair than that dude, and probably play guitar better too. Guarantee I can sing old GNR hits better.

    Why can’t I get famous?

    I think your view of the situation is a little skewed.
