If you watched "Undercover Boss" last night, you saw a truly awful hair piece being sported by Frontier Airlines CEO Bryan Bedford. I think the guy should get props just for wearing something that looked like road kill and probably smelled about the same after working the tarmac in Oklahoma City in 104-degree weather and being doused with what appeared to be human pee when he was on latrine duty.
