Send help. A gross new selfie trend (that nobody asked for, by the way) has taken off on the Internet. Men all over the world are posting pictures of the underside of their scraggly, whisker-strewn chins, thus creating a series of images we can never unsee. Why these men choose to spend their time doing this is a mystery, to be sure. But what it has yielded in the meantime has made it crystal clear that we have a global facial-hair crisis on our hands. These beards are patchy, unkempt, even pube-like in some instances, and it's making everyone really uncomfortable.

In a word: ew.

Beards need to be cleaned. They need to be trimmed. If they don't grow in evenly, then they should be kept short. But most of all, they shouldn't be photographed from below at close range. Ever. So if you have a beard, let this be a lesson. It should not be used as a gag, a gross meme, or a party trick. Maybe use the time it takes to post a #beardsfrombelow selfie for good rather than evil next time.
