Michael Jackson Aging
Michael Jackson Aging
Found on Metafilter, here's a picture projecting what Michael Jackson would look like had he not had plastic surgery.
I feel kind of sad for the hypothetical guy in the picture. He looks like a cool guy. Maybe a non-traditional student here at our university, or a mechanic at the garage where I get my car fixed, or maybe its owner. An author, an insurance adjuster, president of GloboChem? Who would do what Michael Jackson has done to his face, in exchange for umpteen frablillion bucks, if it was a sure thing? What about a 50% chance? 2%?
Yeah, I know, the answer is, most people. I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell.
P.S. It seems to me like I'm using my blog sometimes to give myself a voice on Metafilter topics, as a workaround to their long-standing no-new-posters policy, and yeah, I'm perfectly happy with that. I really think it sucks that the "New User" link says "no new users while we retool," which has been up there for a long, long time. Apparently it used to be that financial contributors could get around that, but now it seems, no, not even then. If I knew of a good alternative I'd be there like a shot.
