SNELLVILLE, GA (CBS46) - Have a kid who is acting out and out of control? Three days a week, a Snellville barbershop offers a free haircut called the "Benjamin Button Special," that'll make your misbehaving child resemble a senior citizen.
A picture of the cut was posted to Instagram by Russell Fredrick, who owns A-1 Kutz in Snellville and goes by the name Master Barber Rusty Fred on the social site.
The picture was accompanied with the following text:
"So you wana act grown...well now you can look grown too👴. The grown-up kids special by: @rusty_fred GOT TO REACH EM SOMEHOW.... #ittakesavillage #thiscantbelife #hairloss #rusty_fred #rustyfred #toughlove #lessons #learningexperience #tryme #grownkids #kidsbarber #barberlove #barbergame #a1 #a1kutz #a1kidzz #a1__kutz #hair #haircut #naturalhair #barbershopconnect #lifelessons #yougonelearntoday" In an interview with the Washington Post, Fredrick -- who has three children -- said he decided to promote the cut after he gave his 12-year-old son a similar old-man haircut and the boy's grades "dramatically skyrocketed."

This is at least as smart aleck (and off target) as the kids. Were they actually acting grown they would not be a problem at all; and are they wanting to stereotype the Geritol set as ill behaved?
And soon that will be the “in” haircut because all the cool kids have it.
.
Because the kid in the picture is a little black kid?
I admit, I didn’t know what an “old man haircut” would look like, but I had no picture in my mind what “race” the kid would be getting it.
Great... baggie pants and “old man” haircuts.
And believe me, there are those who will see it as racist.
I guess it wouldn’t be racist if the barber were black as well.
Which is the case here. Black owned barbershop with black barbers.
won’t that be great? along with the rise in Goodwill shopping being cool, all of a sudden the coolest people will be balding white baby-boomers, because thats how they dressed in the first place!
Those guys sound like they’re great members of the community.
Some of these “single mothers” need to let their boys be mentored by them.
Wow, this is great and quite original. I wish we had more guys like this out in our communities.
I hope so, because I have that look these days no matter how I behave. It would be nice to look "cool" again.
Bad idea: Giving young felons-in-training a bald guy haircut.
Good idea: Dramatically reducing the number of bastards born in this country by promoting legitimate, in-wedlock births and intact, stable, traditional two-parent families (i.e., fathers in the house).
Give them crewcuts and then have them sing in a barbershop quartet. That a teach em!
Satan hates the family as you describe it.
Therefore, so do his minions in the “progressive” movement.
