Recently a candidate for U.S. Congress sent out a mailer using a photo of his head on someone else's body. Well it is cheaper than plastic surgery, but it is despicable and demonstrates a lack of character in addition to a clear wiliness to deceive the public.
"The picture, presented as a true image of the candidate, is actually a computerized composite of his face and someone else's figure, in suit and tie, from neck to knee caps. The give-away is a flawed fit of head and collar."
The excuse... "he has been so busy meeting voters that he had no time for a photo session that would have produced a full-length, genuine photo for the political mailing" says his Campaign Manager.

Is this really the type of person we want to serve us in Congress?

As expected... despite the negative press, this incident will continue to live on leading to increased name ID for the candidate.
Here is the Wiki-pedia entry about it...
"Photoshop Controversy - On January 18th, 2008, the Hrbacek campaign became embroiled in a controversy after Scott Broschart, Hrbacek's campaign manager, admitted that a mailer that was sent to thousands of voters contained a doctored photo in which Mr Hrbacek's body was replaced with that of a thinner body-double. This story was picked up by the Associated Press as well as news reports across the country and overseas."
Amazingly I blogged about it here before anyone else out there... but no one seems to have noticed that.
