Just a little advice for Mr. Edward Snowden (aside from how, with that pretentious sounding and über-WASP surname, he might consider going by "Ed" and a middle initial or something..."Edward Snowden" just makes him sound like everyone's asshole boss...):

When you're planning, in advance, to make a big statement (like he did a few days ago...), either LOSE THE 2-3 DAYS OF "FILM" (I'm not calling that "facial hair"...sorry) GROWING around your mouth, or -- I don't know -- give it a week or two to at least look like it's something you're doing on purpose.

I mean, really? What's this guy's morning routine like? Does he leave the mustache/goatee area unshaved, then go over THAT with his beard trimmer and a #.00005 cover that he had custom made (if that's the case, you know that guy tried to talk him out of it)?

I mean, nothing says "gravitas" or "No! Really! Take me seriously!" like perpetually 1/10-grown in facial hair.

Scratch that: what Walt did on Breaking Bad, walking in the grocery store buck nekkid and acting delusional is at least a close 2nd...oh, so is a grown ass man who, like Snowden, speaks almost entirely in 1984/Orwell metaphors...[pretty sure the cut off for that is, what? 19? 20?]
