It used to be Michael “I Feel Pretty” Jackson, hands down. But now he’s dead. Still, there are plenty of well-known people out their who, through no fault of their own, have a face that only a mother could not suspect of sacrificing puppies to Satan.
Not that I normally know the faces of famous people. I can recognize the president, but that’s about the extent of my celebrity awareness. However, the guy I’m thinking of is well-known enough that even I know who he is. And in light of his job description, it really is ironic that he looks like he eats small children at midnight. Behold the visage of terror. Tell me he doesn’t look like he’s just been given thirty-to-life.
Who’s your pick?
[I do not normally talk about celebrities or make fun of people’s appearances. It’s just that this has been going through my mind lately and I need to share to make it go away. Don’t ask.]
This guy. Yes, okay, he’s my political arch-hate-object. I hate a lot of people’s politics, but I at least think they look like human beings.
This, may I point out, is an official portrait. He himself actually okayed a photograph that makes him looks like he lives entirely on the souls of unbaptized babies.
Gah! Matt, you really shouldn’t do that without spoilers.
If anyone needs me I will be quivering in a corner, hiding and and shaking and saying “Help me Tommy Douglas, you’re my only hope.” Maybe I can smuggle a copy of the Canada Health Act out in these droids.
Yeah, his official portraits really say “Warning - I’m going to be a smarmy asshole”. It’s bad when you make Jean Cretien look endearingly charming in comparison.
This guy is a Government CEO and top-lawyer in the Netherlands. Also author of an collection of erotic short stories.
Here’s an Google image search. So you see, he really is that ugly. And he apparently never even tried to look less ugly. Perhaps he thought is was his trade mark look. It certainly made him stand out.
It is REALLY sad to see how thin she’s gotten. I don’t think she looks that bad in these pictures, but she’s really started to look haggard to me lately. Not that, of course, my opinion matters.
And you knew I had to pick this person, right? The definition of scary-looking.
Funny, that’s what started my train of thought in the first place. My brother wanted to know why people on his message board were comparing the Pope to Palpatine, and so I had to show him the (ahem) palpable resemblance.
I actually went for a more glamorous shot of Garrison Keillor than I could have posted. Dude does not photograph well. Definitely a face for radio. (Shame his voice isn’t one for radio.)
Can I add ex-Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich’s hair? Dude even had a brush codenamed “the football” that went with him at all times, and I’m frightened to think about how much he must have spent on hair products. That mop looked like he could have a small animal (or a wiretap) hidden in it without anyone knowing.
