Better Off Bald

This school in England has strict rules about grooming, and issued a list of forbidden hairstyles for boys. That's worth a standard dress code topic -- are haircuts really "disruptive"? -- but the thing that got my attention is that one of the banned hairstyles is called "Meet Me at McDonald's." What?!? Yeah, it's one of several variants on the longer-on-top-fade-on-the-sides haircut, and I have no idea what the deal is. Is that like the "fashy" 'do that the alt-right/Nazi contingent prefer? What's with the McDonald's name? Feeling old, because I just don't know. (BBC)
