We're never big on celebrities who grow mustaches for convenience sakes, but when it's someone with the fame of Brad Pitt, who can have a significant impact on the state of Mustached Americans, we have to pay attention. 
Pitt's currently filming a new Quintin Tarrantino film in Germany - the only country that loves mustaches more than Bulgaria. And as he is presumably playing a German, he's growing a mustache.
Not only is he on the cover of Rolling Stone with his Labia Sebucula (Latin for "lip sweater"), but he told Larry King, who in fact remains alive, that he is standing up for mustached men everywhere. And then he old UsWeekly that he's working to bring the mustache back.
So let's be sure to support Brad and thank him if you see him.And while your at it - let him know that this shirt/tie combo (pictured at right) really doesn't work but that you appreciate the effort.
Carry on Brad Pitt. Carry on indeed.
About afroman
The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more.
Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing.
On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer.
“I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.”
Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch.
Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita.
As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita."
Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
