To shave or not to shave

It was only a matter of time before someone turned the Britney Spears shaving incident into a gimmick:

The Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League have invited the newly separated icon to spend an all-expense paid trip in snow-buried Syracuse, N.Y. In a show of support, the Crunch is offering any woman that comes to the War Memorial Box Office with a shaved head a free ticket to the club's February 24 game against the Manitoba Moose. "The team and community want to provide Britney Spears with a stress free environment and the chance to experience a high level of hockey," said Crunch President and CEO Howard Dolgon. "In addition to being 3,000 miles away from Hollywood, Syracuse is light years away from that pretentious environment. There won't be paparazzi within 100 miles." The Crunch's offer of an all expense paid trip will begin with their game on Feb. 24. Also, if Spears accepts the Crunch's invitation, each member of the club's front office staff will shave their heads.

Now, I know they couldn't enforce it, but I think it would be better if the entire team shaved their heads, as opposed to the front office. It could be the new playoff beard. (Then again, the Crunch likely aren't going to the playoffs.)

Be sure to check out George Takei's response to Tim Hardaway. Very nice!
