Why fight hair loss?

George: I am not bald. I am balding.

Elaine: So you will be bald.

My blog post titled Got Game? was an exercise in game theory and the psychology of power. Including a photo of Mr. Putin seemed apposite. In response, I received the following commentary. Here it is, unedited.

Subject: Putin and Krueger

It's hard not to notice that Vladimir Putin and Joachim Krueger share a trait: severely receding hairlines. But there is an important difference between them: whereas Mr. Krueger has channeled his frustration into academic success, Putin has been driven to violence and repression against others. This could all have been prevented, and the Ukraine could be at peace today, if only high quality hairweaves ahd been available in RUssia as they are in the USA. A membership in Hair CLub for Men might have turned Putin into a peaceful man ready to get along with his neighbors. And remember, I'm not only the president of Hair Club, I'm also a client.

P.S. I offer a 25% discount to Mr. Krueger.

I deleted this comment because it is a piece of advertisement, and there shalt be no free advertising on Psychology Today. Yet, I am posting it here because it is clever and funny, and by being part of a blog post, it is no longer an unwanted ad. Moving forward, I advise Mr. Sperling to purchase ad space from the magazine.
