The New Republic jumps the shark
If this is not the single creepiest use of Photoshop in the history of the universe, I don't know what is:
CWCID: Regular commenter Howard in Boston, who pushed me over the edge.

Judging by the physiognomy, TNR might be suggesting that the candidate to vote for is of South Asian origin. That would suggest the Governor of Louisiana, and I don't mean Huey Long.

Some use photoshop for good, some for evil. This would qualify as Dark Lord of the Sith evil.

This image has emetic qualities every bit equal to ipecac.

To those of you who were exposed to this on my account, you are very welcome.
In lieu of flowers, we request that you send cash (preferably a hard currency like something used in Europe) to the home of Howard in Boston.
Thank you.

Looks like Chris Crocker in a marginally less-hysterical moment....

Hard currency Howard? Ick! For this, we should be dropping rolls of pennies on you from high altitudes :)

Sends shivers down the spine. I thought for an instant I was looking at a new Tim Lahaye novel.

I wonder what Rev. Wright would have to say about THAT person, LOL! BTW is that a garlic nose?

Hmm... If SNL wants to do a skit about this merged candidate, Maya Rudolph would be the perfect choice to play, um, it. Look at a picture of her, very similar.

I still find it unnerving. I think that the feeling is caused by subconscious recognition processes that get stuck between two highly familiar faces. Part of your mind knows that you should be able to resolve a single personality from the features you see, but another part knows that you do not know this individual. Theoretically the creepy feeling should diminish over time as you develop the feeling that you "know" this face, but that's not happening for me.
