Guy Ferry – er, Fieri – nay, Fietti – seems to be the Food Network’s man of the hour. His latest book More Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives, just hit #1 on the NY Times Best-Seller List in the oft competitive <cough, sarcasm, cough> Paperback Advice category. This exciting news comes mere weeks after Fieri was labeled a “culinary rockstar” by two out of touch journalists who wouldn’t know “cool” if it bit them on the ass.

Sadly, it’s not unusual for successful people to have their signature styles emulated. The following series of photos depicts the dreaded – and very real – FERRY EFFECT, and outlines what would happen if the men of the Food Network started copying Fieri’s look simply by purchasing a widely available piece of Flair Hair:

Yikes. It probably wouldn’t stop at the Food Network hosts, either. If the FERRY EFFECT was strong enough, it might start to infect Food Network spouses as well:

And after awhile, not even their pets or their otherwise well dressed gay best friends would be immune.

So do the world a favor and think twice before buying that copy of Guy Fieri’s book. It’s a slippery slope, people. Do we really want to go down that path?

And better yet, do we really want to do that to poor Isaboo? Hasn’t she endured enough?
