That's actually kind of funny, given the irony of a 16-year-old girl successfully representing a 30-something-guy when it's so much more frequent that the opposite happens.

Oh, Lord, I feel so horrible. Just when I thought it was safe to leave off hyphens, you went and put them all back in.

LOL, I'm pretty sure both options are acceptable.

Though I should point out that the hyphen at issue in the link, in "fully-developed nation," is definitely incorrect. Hyphens can be appropriate between two adjectives, but never between an adverb (which "fully" is) and an adjective.
