Grow a moustache for charity, end up in Red Dead Redemption
A classy gentleman never needs a reason to grow some over-lip facial hair -- however, Rockstar and the Movember Foundation are offering a pretty good incentive for you to grow a glorious moustache. While the latter is asking all applicable males to grow sweet handlebars to raise awareness and donations for men's health issues (primarily prostate cancer), Rockstar is offering the charity's mouthbrow-growing participants a rare prize: They can end as a character in Red Dead Redemption.
The charity event and contest kicks off tomorrow, so if you're interested in helping out, sign up on the Movember Foundation page, and on Rockstar's contest site. Oh, also, you're going to need to shave that sweet Fu Manchu you're already sporting, and start over from scratch. C'mon, you haven't seen your philtrum in like, three years. It misses you.

I've always wanted big Tom Selleck on my face. Now I have a good excuse.

Too easy, too easy.
Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 31st 2009 12:10PM
To really pull off the Tom Selleck look, you need a Hawaiian shirt and a Ferrari...
xgarryx(warXroutine on LIVE and PSN) @ Oct 31st 2009 12:21PM
and you need to be 1983.
Durden @ Oct 31st 2009 1:20PM
It is Halloween guys! I may just settle for a Doc Holiday. I'm too young looking for a big bush on my lip.
rickjamess04 @ Oct 31st 2009 2:28PM
I do like the Tom Selleck, however I'm going for the Chester A. Arthur
David @ Oct 31st 2009 11:41AM

poop @ Oct 31st 2009 12:51PM
did you seriously just use the word sheeple? you sick, sick, pretentious fuck.
poop @ Oct 31st 2009 12:53PM
ah shit sorry david wrong post. but hey right on with the facial hair!
Mewchu [Super Kawaii Power! ^.^ ] @ Oct 31st 2009 11:47AM
Ugh, I bet I can get people to drink paint by saying "hey drinking paint is nerdy cool FTW!".
While I support the Movember thing, I do not like moustaches and do not care for Rockstar at all.
It just seems that the whole Movember thing is another "Snakes On A Plane" thing, you know, one nerd telling another "I don't care if you don't like it, it's like the awsomest thing ever so if you don't watch it you're not nerdy enough".
Wake up, sheeple.

WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
Griffin McElroy @ Oct 31st 2009 12:01PM
Yeah, I'm pretty sick of these conformists raising money to fight prostate cancer. It's like they don't even know they're just cogs in a machine.
Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 31st 2009 12:08PM
Since when have moustaches been nerdy?
And how does a promotion relate to the serious over-hyping of Snakes on a Plane?
On a side note, I can't wait for the sequels: Bears on a Submarine and Piranhas on an Escalator...
Traceur_Ryuk [Founder of The Anti-EMCB(tm) Brigade] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Oct 31st 2009 12:38PM
I don't understand how it's nerdy. You know what IS nerdy, "super kawaii power! ^.^"
Bubbameister33 (Confused by Fanboyism) @ Oct 31st 2009 2:47PM
Another McElroy brother with a solid burn, sweet.
Babel @ Oct 31st 2009 6:08PM
Bradwart, didn't you know, having a moustache is the goddamn DEFINITION of nerdy! Think of the gaming characters...
Mario? MOUSTACHE.
Starfox? MOUSTACHE.
Master Chief? MOUSTACHE.
Gordon Freeman? MELTED MOUSTACHE.
Join up the dots, dude. Can't you see the elephant in the room? You gotta see things with clear eyes, stop being part of the machine.
William Wolf @ Oct 31st 2009 7:04PM
We could probably add Snake to that list too Babel.
Space @ Nov 1st 2009 1:57AM
Movember is actually a New Zealand thing, it makes sense there cause they call a mustache a "mo." It's actually been going on for years now. It's not some thing that rockstar just started up. it's really big down there though, everybody grows one, even girls throw on fake mustaches. There's signs all over the place, people actually donate money. You actually look out of place there if you don't have one.
Mewchu [Super Kawaii Power! ^.^ ] @ Oct 31st 2009 12:07PM
They ONLY care about prostate cancer during this month. I know a lot of them. Ask them. THEY DON'T CARE OTHERWISE.
Hypocrites.
And thanks for the downvote, your unwillingness to accept the truth tells me that I am right.
Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 31st 2009 12:09PM
Well, considering how serious prostate cancer is...I'd say that's a good thing they're rasing money.
Zing @ Oct 31st 2009 12:22PM
So you're angry that people are just growing moustaches cos its cool and rockstar is involved? surely its a good thing that rockstar is getting behind it
Professor Lario @ Oct 31st 2009 12:21PM
I don't think hypocrite means what you think it means...
Did someone piss in your corn flakes this fine morning?
Geoff900 @ Oct 31st 2009 12:32PM
Your just plain wrong, in every sense of the word.
Traceur_Ryuk [Founder of The Anti-EMCB(tm) Brigade] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Oct 31st 2009 12:35PM
I think you're just pissed because you can't grow a moustache. Does someone need a hug?
Mewchu [Super Kawaii Power! ^.^ ] @ Oct 31st 2009 12:20PM
@Dark Bratwurst: I'm holding out for Koalas in a Mailbox myself.
Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 31st 2009 12:26PM
No, you don't get it.

AsherR [Planeteer | Power of The Hoff] @ Oct 31st 2009 1:47PM
Well I'm a Caucasian and I can't got one to save my life, except for random patchy sections.
HSOL @ Oct 31st 2009 2:12PM
The only thing our faces come with is redness after drinking.
Cheesus Crust @ Oct 31st 2009 1:43PM

Durden @ Oct 31st 2009 2:03PM
Maybe we'll get stung with the answers in Beecember?
xtremeholymuffin @ Oct 31st 2009 4:24PM
That was REALLY bad.
MowDownJoe @ Oct 31st 2009 2:02PM
I'M NOT SHAVING THE STACHE I HAVE TO GROW A NEW ONE!
I don't care if it is for a good cause. The one I got took forever to grow...
Mewchu [Super Kawaii Power! ^.^ ] @ Oct 31st 2009 2:53PM
@bassmeister33 If you consider that a solid burn, you probably will have a cardiac arrest laughing the next time someone says "your mother". >_>
Durden @ Oct 31st 2009 3:12PM
Holy shit dude! At least learn how to use the comment system if you want to posts a trillion posts of nonsense! You are getting annoying!
Smoke_me_a_Kipper @ Oct 31st 2009 3:51PM
Holy shit there's a reply button!
xtremeholymuffin @ Oct 31st 2009 4:25PM
you're such a fucking idiot
mountpanic @ Oct 31st 2009 5:45PM
I was going to grow a Riker for the winter anyway.
Vincent060 @ Oct 31st 2009 9:55PM
I already have a Lemmy. Had a beard, was going to shave it all but then thought, "Now is the time." And I don't regret it.
Preston @ Oct 31st 2009 11:43PM
From the Rockstar website: "THIS IS NOT A CONTEST AND THERE IS NO PRIZE. "
lolwut
gaddes @ Nov 2nd 2009 2:54AM
And girls who love Red Dead Revolver get shafted again. :C
brerrabbit23 @ Nov 2nd 2009 1:22PM
I started up a Movember team where I work already. This'll be a great note to send out to the folks on my team!
Oh, and gaddes... you can still join a team if you're a girl! The fellers on my team (Pancho Villas Kid Brothers) need all the help they can get soliciting donations!
