Outtakes 3

Apparently this week is Doppleganger week on Facebook. I have seen a few of my female friends post this in their status messages:

It's Doppelgänger week on Facebook; change your profile picture to someone famous (actor, musician, athlete, etc.) you have been told you look like. After you update your profile with your twin or switched at birth photo then cut/paste this to your status.

The very limits of my imagination are stretched as I see girl after girl* post pictures of who they'd look like if said celebrity were to fall off a tree and hit multiple branches on the way down.

Never be alarmed at a woman's need to compete with other women in a totally trivial way.**

*Chances are these are also the same girls that have given up on the time honored tradition of smiling for a photo in lieu of a kissy face/peace sign.

**I should point out that although the phenomona of comparing who you look like to a celebrity is exclusively a female thing, this does have a male equivalent. It's basically the guy who wears tight Ed Hardy t-shirts

  3. IF they believe they are movie stars, then they'll have movie star sex. I tell my wife that she looks like Diane Lane all the time so I can get that scene from the movie to play out in my bedroom

  4. I posted a celeb...it was the celeb that a drunk guy said I look like, which...you know, he was dunk. How accurate could it be?

    Also, my roommate said I NEEDED to do it.
