Dear God! Tommy's dentures look awful!

Post by _Boaz & Lidia »

Look at the PR photo of the three stooges, Nearly Dead Monson, Idiot Eyring, and Uberdork the giant head:

Look at the link "For Print" and zoom into Tommy's nasty dentures. Someone please tell him his is due for a 30,000 chew alignment.

Look at Uberdork's big ass head. Damn that thing is huge.

The "for print" photo is also painful to look at. It's way oversaturated, and way too warm. I touched it up a bit, did a little noise removal, a little selective sharpening (didn't sharpen anything that was intended to be out of focus), desaturated it somewhat, desaturated the reds more than anything else, and I think it looks a lot better. And I'm a rank amateur - a real Photoshop guy would make this 10x better.

I agree that Uchtdorf has a big head, and Tommy's dentures are a little obvious. Also, doesn't look like Scott's too happy, and I can't help but think that other old guy behind Eyring (I can't tell who it is) looks like he ought to be out playing a round of golf, or in the rest home or something. They really need to let these guys retire when they hit 75 or something like that.

PP, how bout you put up a picture of yourself, so everyone can criticise your appearance (as if it really matters)..

That would be fair and balanced...

(I'm betting you wont do it)

The "other old guy behind Eyring" is Apostle Wirthlin.

Who knows, many men of that generation don't wear rings. Heck, my Sweet Pickle is in his mid-50's and he's never worn a wedding ring. Pres Monson especially might find it difficult to wear a ring. If he's like many diabetics, swelling is part of his daily life, and a ring would be too much trouble. I haven't worn my wedding ring since I was diagnosed with diabetes 8 years ago.

I think it's pretty pathetic to make derogatory comments on someone's appearance, Boaz. Find something to comment about that has some substance. This thread is so asinine, it would be appropriate to call you Boass.

Ah, makes sense. I was just honestly curious if these guys were married.
