An election campaign is a job interview not a celebrity crush.

Please make a note of it.

Activate Streisand Effect: Donald Trump’s hair needs attention

Peter Thiel, the obnoxiously rich right-winger and Trump-supporter
who sued Gawker media into bankruptcy over unseemly stories about
Hulk Hogan’s sex tape, is not satisfied. He’s now going after specific
Trump stories he doesn’t like, and is bankrolling lawsuits about a
couple of other Gawker stories.

> that the subject is not guilty of a crime.

You know what this means: we have to promote the news story that’s
being attacked. And it’s actually a rather interesting story, unlikely
news of Hulk Hogan’s infidelity and bedroom antics — it’s an article
that tries to untangle the mystery of what the heck is going on
with Trump’s weird, unnatural hair. It makes a pretty good case that
what’s going on is that it is a very expensive, rather finicky
specialized hair weave by a company called Ivari International,
which costs about $60,000 to install and $300-$3000 a month to maintain.
(You might want to file that information away for the next time someone
complains about the cost of Clinton’s trips to a hair salon,
because you know the media won’t ridicule a man for spending that
much on vanity).

Ivari is suing for defamation. . .

Having hair "installed" sounds so >H.
