Pumping Iron
In anticipation of tonight’s Veep debate….here’s Smithers trying to look like Ahnold.

[SF Chronicle]
Buthisface. Oh well, at least the ears would give me something to grab onto.
The head looks photoshopped on.
@Dodgerblue: I hate it when people dishonor the flag and the institution of the prezdincy by photoshopping politicians’ faces onto bodies that are clearly not theirs. It’s so childish.
@¡Andrew!: As they’re known: hate-fuck ears.
Photographic evidence like lighting, perspective and color rendition suggests either that’s really a matching head and body, or someone worked really hard to pull that shit off. Doesn’t keep him from being a horrible sack of shit, of course. It just means he’s a slave to his body as well as to being a horrible sack of shit.
@Benedick: In my job, I don’t have much need for the ability to curl a 40-pound dumbbell. And at home, a bottle of beer (full) weighs about a pound.
@Dodgerblue: Curl a 40lb dumbell like that and by the time you’re 50 you’ll need a new shoulder.
Is that a face any mother would want to punch or what?
The photo must be from his Rent-Boy ad.
@IanJ: Multiple media outlets say the photo was taken by Time magazine last year.
The muppets take Manhattan steroids.
@SanFranLefty: Makes sense, it looks like the level of studio work I’d expect from Time. Certainly not one of their great mid-century shots, of course.
I want to know who did the styling.
@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: I was catching a vibe a little more like this: https://twitter.com/wyclef/status/258628515497398272
