Ad execs and their celebrity doppelgangers

Genealogy is probably as titillating a hobby as, say, stamp collecting. But genealogy website MyHeritage.com has lent itself a little more sex appeal by tapping into our obsession with celebrities. A free program allows users (after free registration) to upload their own photos and find what star they most resemble. It is amusing, confusing and definitely not to be taken seriously. (Race, gender and age do not apply here, so the results are hit-or-miss.) In the interest of time-suckage, I decided to run a few of the ad industry’s more famous faces through the database and my results were, um, interesting.
