You can do almost anything with Photoshop… …but sometimes you shouldn’t. 🙂 Seriously, was that first picture distorted? Looks like the poor guy’s head was expanded a bit. ---

> [@Strainger](#): > > Man, that link doesn’t make me want to post my picture in an many places on the internet as possible, in the hopes that some random person somewhere will take on a similar effort with Photoshop and my visage. What I meant to say was: Man, that link makes me want to post my picture in an many places on the internet as possible, in the hopes that some random person somewhere will take on a similar effort with Photoshop and my visage. Ignore the “doesn’t” since that results in a statement completely opposite from what I wanted to say. ---

That was just plain enjoyable, and an excellent reason to post your picture on the internet. I especially like the picture with President Bush. I just want to know if the rabbit ears were photoshopped in there too, or if they were original to the photo. And if so, who was that? Anyway, similar thing here: [www.larrysface.com](http://www.larrysface.com) (larger quantity, not nearly the quality).
