The Next Great Star...

Featured Instigator Kevin Downing returns with a story that deserves notice simply for the last paragraph in the following passage:

China's Yu Zhenhuan sports a thick layer of hair that covers more than 96 percent of his body. Only his palms and the soles of his feet are free of hair.

The 26-year-old singer says he used to feel self-confident about his looks, but now he's decided to turn his unique look to his own advantage.

Yu is betting on a future in rock and roll, and his shows are already winning rave reviews.

His hair was initially an obstacle, however. The thick fur growing in his ears made it difficult to hear.

Yu was forced to undergo a delicate operation to remove the hair in his ear canals. He is now hearing things he never could before.

If this guy starts getting girls, it will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that some women will date anybody who can carry a tune and strum a guitar
