There is an article in the New York Times today about a computer program that can determine “the most attractive set of distances and then choose the ideal closest to the original face” to create a “beautified” image of someone. Sure. Except this “beautified” image of Michael Cera is totally creeping us the f out.

    Is the beautified image frame 3, If your looking at them from left to right? Un-Uh- #3 is definitely not beautified and totally creepy- I much prefer the 1st frame.

    Fuck that algorithm!!! Embrace your quirkyness. Hold fast to your uglies!

    Michael Cera’s appeal is a result of a fortunate combination of unattractive features, and making sure you never see his nose at profile. He’s immune to this algorithm.

    also, eyes smaller and nose the size? what the hell algorithm is that, i thought it was always eyes bigger and nose nonexistant.

    I should’ve known that James Franco’s face wouldn’t be altered in the slightest. What a stud!
