What is "a facial hair storm"?

You either like Paul Henry or you don't, and I do, but this article in the Herald had me wondering what a facial hair storm would be?

Hairy moment for Henry - NZ Herald

TVNZ Breakfast presenter Paul Henry is at the centre of a facial hair storm...

After he read, and commented on, some viewer letters.

I don't see Breakfast TV, but miss him from radio. Perhaps the best response came from Henry himself: "Start a group"

Some more Henry moments;
