FBI age-adjusts Ringo
As a semi-pro graphics type, I'm half bemused and half enraged by the FBI's clumsy attempt to produce an age-adjusted picture of Sheikh Osama.
They used a picture of Spanish politician Gaspar Llamazares as the "morph target" ... result looks a lot like Ringo Starr (and something like me, for what it's worth!) but only a little like Osama.
So a TSA agent using this picture as the mugshot would quickly arrest Ringo or me but wouldn't recognize Sheikh Osama.
Fucking fools. Or collaborators. Pick one. ¶ 7:05 PM
