Gawker proclaimed the faux mustache of French Olympic snowboarder Mathiew Crepel to be the most ironic in all the world. Why is Mathieu Crepel’s mustache the World’s Most Ironic Mustache? Quoth Gawker:

1. Beginner’s irony: It is a fake, black-ink mustache on an adult.
2. Advanced-placement irony: It is drawn on top of his real mustache.
3. Nationalist irony: A teensy, curling mustache on a Frenchman, at an competition that emphasizes one’s citizenship.

He didn’t get a medal, but he gets the Gold in fake mustaches in our book.
