Earlier this month, the 2007 World Beard and Mustache Championships (or WBMC) were held in Brighton, UK.  The event is held every two years and moves from country to country, much like an Olympics of ridiculous facial hair.  I have been a big fan of the event since I first found out about it a few years ago, and always get a good laugh out of some of the more bizarre beards on display. The sheer ridiculousness of the whole thing combined with the tongue-in-cheek seriousness of the contestants make the participants universally my heroes.  Check out the Winner’s gallery for some of the best examples of awesomely sculpted facial hair art you will ever see.
