An Inconvenient Truth - Gore Colors His Hair

al_gore.jpgBy B.L. Ochman I saw Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" on Saturday. It was, without a doubt the best Power Point presentation I've ever seen. Gore was strong, forceful, funny, interesting and frequently brilliant. Why didn't he sound like that when he was running for President?

Weirdly, half way through the film, Gore's hair is suddenly a much darker brown. Obviously he had a color touch-up. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :>)

Men's Hair Color
My first website was for Just for Men Hair Color. A political writer had noticed that both Clinton and Gore kept changing their hair color during the 1996 campaign. So we did a site where people could see both candidates with different color hair and vote for the color they liked best on each man. Sixty-eight percent of the thousands who voted thought both Clinton and Gore looked better with their hair dyed. It made the point that hair coloring is fine for men, and it got me hooked on the potential of Internet marketing.

Many say Al Gore could use more color. I guess his hair is a good starting point.
