One of those click-bait ads shows this picture [![](http://staticd.cdn.adblade.com/banners/images/145x109/25065_557730bab2a2b.jpg) ](http://staticd.cdn.adblade.com/banners/images/145x109/25065_557730bab2a2b.jpg) The article doesn’t include anything about this person. He looks familiar but I can’t place him. Anybody? ---

It’s a mugshot of [Jeffery Donovan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Donovan). ETA: his pic is now in one of the click-bait ads on this page. _15 Famous Celebs that have committed horrible crimes_. ---

Yes it is. And the article as it reads now doesn’t even mention him. Did it ever? ---

The Wikipedia article on him only mentions DUI. Is that the “horrible” crime he’s supposed to have committed? ---

Also, probably a still from one of the many times in eps he was arrested, detained, harangued, captured, beaten up, etc… As opposed to an irl mugshot. ---

Here’s another one that’s been scaring me for a few days! It doesn’t get identified (that I could find) in the article so I’m just curious what/who this is… [Some Booger or something](http://staticd.cdn.adblade.com/banners/images/145x109/28269_55f20e91dffa9.jpg) 😃 It’s giving me bad dreams, I tell you! ---

Yeah, seen that one as well, but have yet to click on it. So many of these click bait ads either take forever to load on my phone, or on my PC, they make my screen move up and down for the first couple seconds and whats worse, is the info is just sooo stupid. Some of the “facts” are dated and are usually more opinion than actual fact. ---

Some of the “facts” are dated and are usually more opinion than actual fact. Yes! I rarely click on them unless (like this one) I just HAVE to know what that image is! Another recent example is two young women in a pool with really tantalizing breasticles. I just had to understand the setting and the individuals, you see. 😉 Now and then I will just have to add that image to a collection I keep for later review and evaluation. That file is up to about 20 I’ve been gathering for years. Needless to day, this “Bad Seed” image is not headed for that file! ---

Just right click on the pics and go down to “Search Google for this image”. Some don’t work, but most will. That will lead you eventually to the original article. ETA: Fine Earl, keep rubbing it in! :smack: ---

What was the deal with the bikini chicks anyway… I have been, tempted, shall we say, but never clicked because they only show up when I’m on my work PC and I’m not sure its suitable for the office. ---

I don’t think there was much more than one of those “meme-like” captions suggesting that ogling her accoutrements was something a friend wouldn’t do – “said no man ever.” All I know is that it was enough for me to add it to said collection, but until I see it in the array at the bottom of the page again I won’t have the URL for it. Once I do I’ll post it in this thread for your amazement. 🙂 ---

When I look up that image all I get is “mullet girl”. I didn’t even realize it’s a girl so that’s something. IIRC the caption for that photo was something about stars who were ugly children but look at them now. Funny, I’d wondered about this and the pic in the OP. I’ve never seen _Burn Notice_so obviously I wouldn’t have guessed his identity correctly, but I did think it was someone else who I can’t quite put my finger on at the moment. ---

But will I really be amazed? Hardly. Thats the big thing I hate about those articles, is the false advertising. “what happens next will shock you?” Not really. “What they saw was amazing?” Not that big of a deal, really. My “favorite” was the celebrities who have died unexpectedly, or something like that… “number 13 will shock you.” Number 13 was John Belushi I think. Now come on, he’s been dead for over 30 years. Everyone who has ever heard of him knows he died a long time ago, and if you didn’t know that he died, you probably had never heard of him to begin with. I could be wrong on the list number, but my point still stands… whomever it was, it was no “shock.” ---
