One Year Later: World Still Coming To Terms With Nic Robertsonâs Hair
A year after its disturbing image was first flashed on television screens, people around the world are still struggling to come to grips with CNN correspondent Nic Robertsonâs hair.
Starting Saturday, CNN will begin a 19-part series on Robertsonâs hair to help its audience relive that traumatic event and maybe sell them an online trading account during commercial breaks.
In its first episode entitled "Those Freaky Follicles On Nicâs Head: America Remembers," Irene Szabo, of Santa Barbara, California, recounts her reaction to viewing the initial shots of Robertsonâs hair coming in from the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul.
"My husband called me in from the kitchen and said âwould ya get a load of that. I canât believe it,â" recalled Szabo, upon glimpsing Robertsonâs disheveled forelocks as the Afghan winds blew them over his eyes.
"I remember thinking to myself: CNN is paying a fortune to send him over there and get him hooked up to a videophone. Canât they afford a comb? Or did the Taliban confiscate it?" she added.
Later, a team of experts will join host Paula Zahn to fill in the remaining 20 hours of the program by telling us how they first reacted to Robertsonâs hair and why we should hang on every word of their infinite expert wisdom with bated breath.
