Haircuts around the world

In the process of traveling around the world, NTV’s “Itte Q” forced assistant directors and other staff members to place themselves at the mercy of local barbers:

Each man was given what the barber thought would look best. The results varied greatly, especially since they went to high class hair stylists in some countries and cheap local barbers in others.

Which haircut was the coolest?

absolutely hilarious!! peru was the best

I didn’t quite get the humor of this piece. Most seemed to be a local hairstyle, which wasn’t exactly outrageous (well, other than mexico).

Generally an improvement over mop-hair, IMO.

The Mexican cut, the thing that immediately popped into my mind was that guy from the Fifth Element played by Gary Oldman.

The announcer said that Mexico is in Central America, instead of North America.

just in case but geograpzhicaly there is only one continent “America” it was splited into North/South and Central america by geopolitical description. Mexico was in central america in that time. today Panama chanel splitt it into two continents North and South americas. so you can use geopolitical or geographical meaning or both in a same time. Mexico is a part of north american continent being central american country..

Philippines and Mexico should ask money back. Finland was good, but Estonia style could go well with girls.

Wow, the over the top reactions were annoying. Sure, some of those haircuts aren’t very fashionable, but were any of them really that outrageous?

Guy with big ears did not look good with short hair. I think I liked the first one the best.

By the way, I always get “Error 0″ or something whenever I try to vote in your polls. I’m using the latest version of Firefox if it makes a difference.

I’m with Poe on this, Error 0 on every poll.

considering that the finland haircut was at a salon and the philipiines one was at some neighbourhood barber, the finland one wins without a doubt.
