Creep Max Out Photoshop Contest
January 20, 2015 Leave a comment
Last Thursday it was brought to my attention that a notorious reality TV hanger-on with a well-documented record of reprehensible behavior had posted to Twitter a crudely-photoshopped image that appeared to depict the two of us posing together. Though the image was obviously forged (the two of us were shot and lit from different angles; my entire left shoulder and portions of my hair were inexplicably absent; etc.) it nevertheless sent a chill down my spine. An individual with a reputation for deceit was circulating an image that not only linked me to him but that insinuated an association between the two of us. Even more disturbing was the fact that the photograph in question was quite easily one of the worst I have ever taken. Fashion blogger and man-about-town Colin Stone put it best when he described my look in the offending photo as “distinguished Clint Howard.” A modest request to all of the Internet stalkers reading this: if you’re going to butcher a photograph of me for your own nefarious purposes could you at least be so kind as to use a shot me from a flattering angle?
After 45 minutes spent scrubbing myself in a silkwood shower the icky feeling of defilement and contamination had still not gone away. At that point I decided that instead of being a victim of Internet creepery I would welcome it head on. I took to Twitter to post the following challenge:
Responses poured in over the next 24 hours from a variety of usual and unusual suspects. Some quoted memes or inserted recognizable pop culture figures. Others made visual puns or used in-jokes referencing my love of cats, kale, and myself. A selection of the more than 40 total entries appears below:

A final word: If you’re the type who gets off on violating people’s privacy online or in real life, misleading or defrauding good-natured individuals or organizations for personal financial benefit or status, showing up at people’s homes uninvited, sending unwanted items or “gifts” to addresses that you shouldn’t have in the first place, threatening strangers via the Internet, harassing or bullying people on social media for confidential information, invading personal space or crashing private social events, acting inappropriately entitled to reciprocal attention from semi-public figures of the opposite sex, or crudely photoshopping yourself into photographs of people who have made clear their desire to have nothing to do with you, you might want to move on. In the past you might have been tolerated. That’s over now.
