I know I've been told that's not funny...

... but I was amused by this effort at running all the U.S. Presidents (or at least the first 40) through Snapchat's feminizing filter. It can't handle the facial hair, but other than that, I'm impressed by how attractive the Presidents become. Nixon approaches a Mary-Tyler-Moore-like charm.

Here's my post from a few days about the that's-not-funny chiding over that Snapchat filter.

Anyway, my favorite is Madison:

As Ted (from Bill & Ted) might say.... Baberaham Lincoln!

Did Nixon have crazy eyes?

Matt said...

Some of the greatest men in American history humiliated to make trannies feel good about their broken, backward selves.

I really have no use for and am ashamed to be a part of the current society.

Remember, tranny is only one letter from tyranny.

Fernandinande said...

They all look the same and not like the presidents they're supposed to be derived from.

Fake news even though it's not news.

Pretty much, yeah.

"I really have no use for and am ashamed to be a part of the current society."

#MeToo

Matt, you're not only abusive, you're wrong about who feels what. #1, the dead Presidents are feeling nothing, and the one living President in the mix, Jimmy Carter, is probably just fine with this lighthearted transformation, and #2, as you'd know if you read what's at my "that's-not-funny chiding" link, the filter has been *criticized* by some transgender people for making fun out of something that is very serious for them. But thanks for showing that people on the other side of opinion continuum can also contribute to the culture of the Era of That's Not Funny.

Meanwhile, there are still many people who remember how to laugh and play.

You and Jimmy are tight, eh?

stevew said...

Personally I find this amusing. Former Presidents were humans, not saints or gods, so a little lighthearted playing, as our host describes this, at their expense is amusing. For anyone that takes offense, well, that's on you. Why do you so willingly give people such power over you?

rehajm said...

My comment was same as the third comment down- Jenna Maroney.

Rick.T. said...

Looks like Matt hit a nerve.

Dolly Madison indeed!

Hubbahubba

Henry said...

You really can't beat the white whigs for this frolic. Turns the founding fathers into elves.

I Have Misplaced My Pants said...

JFK, oh my! Rowr!

rehajm said...

Kate Hudson Harrison pretty good too...

Roger Sweeny said...

JFK looks like Kelly Kapowski from Saved by the Bell.

traditionalguy said...

Jackson still looks like himself. Truman looks like a charming and friendly woman. But they left Abe's beard on him.

clint said...

Wilson looks eerily like Elizabeth Warren.

And FDR reminds me of Barbara Streisand.

LBJ... fails to look like a woman. It would be an interesting example for the developers of the filter to look at, to improve their algorithm.

Fun!

tim maguire said...

I kinda look like my sister. So I guess it works.

Narr said...

Couldn't photoshop some lingerie onto Buchanan?

Narr
More realistic that way

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

LOL

The very first time someone turned me on to snapchap, ( a few years ago) I laughed my butt off. Sitting in a restaurant booth with a close friend's teen-aged daughters. They showed me the thing and I was in awe and we sat there and laughed and laughed. and laughed.

Chap chat can turn you into a smooth-skinned, doe-eyed, Disney-faced barbie doll, or a buck-toothed bug-eyed troll. I have one photo with pink hair and Marylin Monroe lips. Incredible. After my first go-round with it without the teenagers to buffer my delight, I noticed that it drove most adults nuts, so I had to curb my enthusiasm with it.

Jeez if Adams was a chick (and alive) he'd be a Fox News blonde!

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...

Jimmy's disturbingly cute. But isn't that always the way with crazy, dumb chicks?

Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...

Ok now do Rachel maddow and Janet Reno

My name goes here. said...

This is only notable if the same filter turns Mary Tyler Moore into Nixon.

n.n said...

A digital preview for medical corruption of the mentally transgendered dreaming of a physical crossover. Very Pro-Choice. We live in interesting times.

My name goes here. said...

Actually we should take the first 40 presidents and snapchat filter all of them to women, then take those images and filter them to men, then take those images and filter them into women...

Do this 10 or 20 times and see what the convergence is. That would be enlightening.

n.n said...

the same filter turns Mary Tyler Moore into Nixon

Moore never expressed a transmutation dream, did she? Neither did Nixon, for that matter. Fear and loathing of sex, gender, and Mary Tyler Moore?

n.n said...

The sex is invariant. However, digital (doctrinal, chemical, and medical) transmutation is a first-order forcing of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Gender Corruption.

readering said...

Ok, that's weird.

effinayright said...

I'm sure a lot of SJEWs "feel" that if all those presidents were actually women, American life would have been rainbows and lollipops---then, now and forever.

gspencer said...

No, it's Jack who's made to look like MT Moore.

etbass said...

Somebody do Caitlin Jenner.

Amexpat said...

There's no computer powerful enough on the planet to prettify LBJ.

Ann Althouse said...

"Jackson still looks like himself."

I got a Celine Dion vibe.

Fen said...

Just checking, but you guys are operating under the assumption the FaceBooker took some liberties to garner more likes, right?

So you want to play? We can play. I know I'll have a good time. You? You'll just have to take your chances.

Nichevo said...

Oh! I see it now. That's because "Madison" looks like you. Obvious really.

Jamie said...

I look exactly like my brother when the boy filter is applied. It was shocking.

John Althouse Cohen said...

From now on, instead of rating people’s attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 10, they’ll be rated on a scale of “female LBJ” to “female JFK.”

bagoh20 said...

Barbara Bush looks great.

jr565 said...

JFK is a babe. And Bush sr looks like my aunt.

Fen said...

"But thanks for showing that people on the other side of opinion continuum can also contribute to the culture of the Era of That's Not Funny. Meanwhile, there are still many people who remember how to laugh and play."

Oh god, get over yourself. And take your own advice. There was a time when you were curious about disagreement. Nowadays you're as bad as the SJWs, attacking people for not clapping loud enough. What has happened to you? I can tell it's something because your response in these instances is always out of proportion.

And I imagine if we photoshoped your head onto some lap dancers this would be an entirely different conversation.

(Oh, I get to assume your response if you are going assume Jimmy Carter's. How about we don't pretend to speak for other people?)


n.n said...

The transgender spectrum has a gay deficit. Perhaps that's why homosexuals want to be excluded. Judge me by my sex, not gender, has been the feminist wave.

MB said...

Hopefully, after they take all those statues down, they'll replace them with these new ones.
