Celebrity Lookalikes: Election 2008 Edition
I ran the face recognition software on our current batch of Presidential candidates, for a new twist on our recent political theme, and received some very interesting results.
Republican Senator and Front Runner John McCain:

Baptist minister and Republican also-ran Mike Huckabee:

Illinois Senator and Democratic Candidate Barack Obama:

Republican Third-Place Finisher Ron Paul:

Democratic Candidate and Former First Lady Hillary Clinton:

Which is funnier? Which is more accurate? Come one, come all! Step right up and share your opinion. Enquiring minds want to know....

I think it's kind of funny that Obama looks more like Steve Martin than himself!

LOL... I'm glad you liked 'em, Barbie! Amazing that the same person (Hillary) can look like both Willie Nelson and Jamie Lynn Spears....
And how about McCain looking like Ford, Edwards, and Angelina Jolie? That's the second photo I used for McCain. On the first one, the software said it couldn't recognize a face.
At least the Democratic candidates looked like themselves and the Republicans didn't. I think there's a metaphor in that.

Reply to this

IS EVERYBODY HAPPY TODAY?
I'm glad that Hillary and Obama look like themselves. But Ron Paul does look just like Jacques Chirac, Hucklebee like Tony
Blair and McCain resembles Howard Dean. What does this prove? Will he also
scream his way to oblivion?
Reply to this
I hope so... lol.
McCain screamed on the Senate floor that a colleague was a "FUCKING JERK!" and no one seemed to care. But let a Democrat howl and everyone worries he's unstable. I just read today that George Bush senior has endorsed John McCain. "Read my lips" - we couldn't trust him when he endorsed W - but maybe he's hoping we've forgotten about that.

McCain does bear a resemblance to Gerald Ford. Funny that Obama looks more like Steve Martin than himself. Of course Hillary looks like Hillary. What you see is what you get, which is why I'm Voting For Her!
Reply to this
LOL... Funny, too, that the only black man Barack Obama looks like is Barack Obama. Yet John McCain looks like B.B. King. Why does that make the song "The Thrill Is Gone" run through my head?
Reply to this
that settles it - i'm for obama . . . anyone that looks like jim carrey, steve martin, and barak obama has the necessary sense of humor to laugh our way out of the reagan-bush1-clinton/clinton-bush2 hellhole we find ourselves in.
Reply to this
LOL... He may get his shot at the title.
I wonder if he has a dog named Shithead....
[For you young folks out there who might not remember, Steve Martin's character in The Jerk had a dog named Shithead. I think that's the only thing I rememebr from that film... lol.]
Reply to this
interesting. i didn't care for steve martin movies until he did "roxanne".
Reply to this
I liked The Jerk, but never really liked Steve until later in his career, when I was pleasantly surprised by Father of the Bride. Now that I'm older, though, I guess I appreciate his earlier comedy more. As a youngster, I didn't always get it.
Reply to this
hahaha.. that's funny. only Obama and Clinton look like themselves.
Reply to this
Maybe this means the Republicans are the biggest phonies of the bunch.
Thanks, Mel!
Reply to this
Um, first of all, Mike Huckabee looks like Kevin Spacey. Why didnt they pick up on that? Am I seeing things? Isnt there a remarkable resemblance? Willie Nelson looks like Captain Ahab, not Hillary Clinton.
Reply to this
Yes! Where in the world was Kevin Spacey?
And why didn't the same candidate who looked like Khomeini look like Willie?
Crazy.... lol.
Thanks, Marilyn!
Reply to this
LOL... Some of these really made me laugh.
Hillary / Willy Nelson.... LOL... John McCain/ Howard Dean, Ron Paul /Camilla Parker Bowles....
Geeze these are goof..and I'm relieved Barak looks like himself... that's always a good one...
Thanks these are always fun.

I Find it funny how it says Obama looks more like Steve Martin than himself. And Hillary and Willie Nelson LOL!
Reply to this
I know! And how the heck is John McCain the one who looks like B.B. King?
Reply to this
perhaps the software thinks he has a guitar named lucille?
Reply to this
His campaign song ought to be "The Thrill Is Gone."
He reminds me of Bob Dole without the viagra.

Reply to this
Umm, do 95% of all comparisons range between 50-70%?
(The visual "relatedness" is not really clear, unless you create a table, and show the relatedness of each celebrity to every candidate.)
Reply to this
I ran the same software on a photo of me and it said I looked like Angelina Jolie and Donald Rumsfeld.

NO, IT'S THE JIM CARREY!!! LMFAO!!
