Obama Gives Putin Historic Death Stare At The G20 Summit

http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-putin-photo-meeting-g20-summit-2013-9

I was going to push the report button on you as that looked soooooo photoshopped.

Barry.n.Vlad.G20.2013.09.05.jpg

Barry was obviously about at least one foot away further from the camera than Vlad, but his head looks nearly twice as big.

There cannot be that big a disparity in their head sizes...

Or Obama just had a long face that day.:devil:

I agree it looks weird. So I did some investigating (of course :biggrin:).

Freeze the video here at 2:52:

http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/05/20342654-the-big-chill-a-dominant-obama-meets-a-cool-putin-at-g20?lite

copy it into Paint next to the photo above, adjust the size until they're about the same and you get this:

I don't think it's photoshopped. Maybe Putin just has a, erm, small head.

Or maybe someone used a telephoto lens.

I've seen pictures of the moon appearing WAY too big.

hmmm...

I'm glad it's the weekend. :smile:

Let's take Lord Kelvin's advice and try to measure...

When I zoom the picture above to 200 % and apply a dial caliper to my screen,

Obama's head measures 2.374 inches from chin to top of hair at his hairline. Putin measures 2.249 from back of jawbone (below ear) to top of his balding head.
Ratio is 1.056, Obama bigger.
Obama's ear measures 0.767, Putin's 0.0.774, Ratio is .991.
Putin with a bigger ear than O ? There's a surprise !

In the other photo at your link, again at 200%
130905-obama-putin-for-review-03.380;380;7;70;0.jpg


Obama's head is 1.512 inch, Putin's is 1.329, ratio is 1.13.

Obama's head is five or ten percent larger than Putin's by two measurements ? In line with their heights i'd say...

That photo's got to be an optical illusion, combination of viewing angle and effect of a long lens ?

Jurassic Park did away with "Seeing is believing".

I can't find his hat size with google, either.

Here's more presidents from the artist:

I feel like Teddy Roosevelt's should have been more epic, with the Rough Riders or something because that's his image.

FDR's was spot on though :)

I didn't know Clinton smoked.

Clinton: "I'm up to my *** in alligators" allegedly referring to North Korea's nuclear program.
 
  • #338
There are many tokens in that Clinton pic.
 
  • #339
Yeah, Lewinski and wardrobe malfunction is obvious, McDonald's was a favorite meal of Clinton's. Uzis because Clinton banned importation of "assualt pistols" and sax because he played the sax live as president. I have no idea about the cyborg, the paper/schematic, the statue of liberty, or the saucers.

edit:

Ok, maybe the cyborg is Hilary Clinton:

For the UFOs, apparently Clinton had a mini-Roswell and had an interest in UFOs and their classification:

and the cigarette might not be a cigarette (his "did not inhale" comment, maybe?).
