Brian Grazer Shows Up as Random Old Man in Age-Advancement Ad
An alert reader today sent over a Web ad for something called MakeMeOld.com, whose awesome business model entails customers spending up to $20 per month for the privilege of seeing pictures of yourself looking horribly aged by crappy software. Tell your friends, LOLZ, etc. Except there's no software in the advertised example -- unless you count Brian Grazer's expropriated mug as software.
Needless to say, this is probably not a sanctioned use of Grazer's likeness, nor does the young man on the left resemble the Oscar-winning, spiky-coiffed, mildly augmented producer at any stage of his life. (Couldn't the MakeMeOld crew at least have pulled an image from Grazer's grunge years or those priceless Grazer home movies?) Making matters worse, the site adds the disclaimer, "This is meant for entertainment purposes only so please don't get mad if you don't look gorgeous aged!" Ouch.
Anyway, apologies to Grazer's attorneys -- you're going to have to put in a few hours today.

I miss the Grazer-head picture you always used.
What an upset for Joe Fiennes.
That's how I spotted it! I was trying to get a hold of a friend & went on (i think?) Myspace to see if they were still on there. Saw that picture & was all "wait a minute, I've seen that somewhere before."
20 bucks? What a deal!
