Mashable- Sometimes, sporting a beard can put you in a hairy situation.  A group of beard lovers from Sweden learned that the hard way Saturday, when someone called the cops on them, claiming they saw 30 terrorists waving an ISIS flag. In fact, it was a gathering of Bearded Villains, a self-described “brotherhood of elite bearded men from all over the world.” The group was having a photoshoot at the Brahehus Castle ruin, located in the province of Småland, Sweden, but apparently their long beards and the group’s black flag were enough for someone to mistake them for terrorists. Group member Andreas Fransson described the incident on his Facebook page. “We had a good laugh with the cops, who had to respond to the call, but quickly saw that we weren’t terrorists, out in the middle of nowhere, dressed in formal wear, hugging and laughing,” wrote Fransson.

 

 

A couple things. First, this is how you know that ISIS has everyone in the world on Threat Level Midnight at all times. This is how you know they’re super scary and everybody wishes they would just go away.  When a person sees a flag that kinda sorta bout not really looks like the ISIS flag and they immediately call in the police.  Even if it’s clearly just a bunch of hipsters hanging out in fedoras and aviator sunglasses stroking each other’s beards.

 

Here are the flags next to one another

I mean I guess from a distance I could see those looking pretty similar.  And hey, better safe than sorry when it comes to ISIS dudes hanging out in your town. Not exactly something you brush off and hope works itself out. Second, and this is much more important than the first point, since when do dudes with beards have their our groups and meetings? Not only that but flags? They even have their own name. The Bearded Villains   I don’t like it and it’s not fair.  As a guy who is only capable of growing patches of pubic hair on his face, this isn’t cool at all. I don’t like it one bit. I don’t like that the bearded ones amongst us are meeting up and laughing at us who can’t grow beards. Like I wasn’t already self conscious enough that people are always looking at me and thinking, “Do you think that guy wants to kill himself because he’s a grown man and it looks like somebody gave him a gorilla mask?” It sucks. I call for the Bearded Villains and every other beard group to disband effective immediately.
