       It’s called “gnopping”

  • http://scruss.com/blog/ scruss

    I’m sure the boys at b3ta could do a better job of gnopsing Mitt than this — the only thing is, he’s not really anyone yet, so why bother?

    It’s not like I really needed to ever sleep again.

    I  was more tickled by the Paul Ryan photoshopping thread on Reddit last night.

    Romney reviewed his face over the last 10 years and it’s always at least 13% of his head. Most recently it was 13.6%, or something like that.

  • P1rat3

    I dislike Willard Mittens Romney’s politics and blatant hypocrisy, but this is too ad hominem for me. Imagine if this was done to President Obama. How would you feel?

    • http://www.twitter.com/eselqueso eselqueso

      If it worked as well with anyone else’s face, I’d be equally amused. I believe, and I may be wrong, please correct me if I am, but this is a bit of visual humor that works because of this particular individual’s giant heed. Anyone in the public eye could have been the subject of these photo manipulations if the auteur had so chosen.

        I have been trying to decide if Mitt’s head is huge or Paul Ryan’s is really, really small. 

        • Dave Horton

          both

      Not quite the same thing (I think Woll-ing is more disturbing) but there’s like 4 Obama examples if you’re interested.

    • relawson

      YOU DON’T DO THIS STUPID SMALL FACE CRAP WITH OBAMA!!!!

      Obama’s pics must have huge ears! DUH! http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EvhSMlal50k/TgkgfApso6I/AAAAAAAALyg/g1Cbfj95s7A/s1600/ears%252C%2Bobama%2Bcartoons.jpg

      WHY SO SERIOUS?

  • Brainspore

    And yet still less disturbing than Trump’s hair.

    • TheMudshark

       That hair definitely looks like the sloppier photoshop job in this picture.

  • Jake0748

    The scene from the movie “The Magic Christian” with Ringo Starr and Peter Sellers:  Ringo is doing face exercises.  
    He opens his mouth as wide as it will go… “Silent Scream, try to tear your face apart”. 
    He smushes his face as small as he can… “Tiny Face, try to make your face disappear”.  

    • ahermit

      I remember that scene.

      Great, now I’m having the flashbacks again…

      I knew that I was old the day that I was having head shots done and my stylist pulled out a tube of Preparation H.

    This reminds me of a perceptual oddity that used to happen to me as a child. When on the edge of sleep, my sense of proportion and distance would fluctuate wildly, causing me to perceive the world a bit like that.

  • ahermit

    This one… http://littlefacemitt.tumblr.com/post/29997326719

    look closely at Ryan in the background… took me a while to figure out what was wrong…

    • IronEdithKidd

      Cool.  I’m not really all that perturbed that I can’t unsee that.  Seems…appropriate.

    Thank you for the morning laughs, Rob :)  Great post.

    Wasn’t there a guy in Dick Tracy who looked like this?

    • Halloween_Jack

      Yeah. Can’t remember his name, but one of the most disturbing people in Warren Beatty’s Dick Tracy movie, which was full of unrecognizable character actors in grotesque makeup.
