Why does he look like Jeffery Dean Morgan 🤔

bezier.bsky.social•250 days ago

Sean Evans has been busy in between episodes of Hot Ones I see.

devinoch.bsky.social•250 days ago

Skimming through the preview, I found this... who can argue with this level of endorsement?

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•250 days ago

You don't get a notable figure to do an intro for just anything.

jesscourtney.bsky.social•249 days ago

What’s nalding?? And why do they want to do it in to Sutherland?

ryanhowe.bsky.social•250 days ago

I'm genuinely impressed Donald Sutherland apparently escaped having his likeness crawled by any data set because that image is...I mean, even if you squint, that's not even really close.

marypcbuk.bsky.social•249 days ago

It’s Donald’s hair on the face of that actor who was really good in Life

bisonfish.bsky.social•249 days ago

He looks a bit like Donald Sutherland who also died recently.

leepkelly.bsky.social•249 days ago

Chris Notheland?

dewline.bsky.social•250 days ago

Ye gods, that's pathetic design.

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•250 days ago

The background is even a photograph of some other book.

idisconnectfrmu.bsky.social•249 days ago

Ah yes, the star of Do't Lok Bak

benasterisk.bsky.social•250 days ago

Did they start with a photo of Jeffrey Dean Morgan?

I mean Jeffey Dean Mogan

anothersillyowl.bsky.social•250 days ago

Jesus that's grim

scribblegurl.bsky.social•249 days ago

I hate him. I have a friend who use to manage the facility where he did ADR, and he was an absolute asshole.

whoviantrev.bsky.social•250 days ago

Show me an 'R' !

luthierlady.bsky.social•250 days ago

😦

graftwerk.bsky.social•249 days ago

wow that's impressively bad, like someone should tell sean evans how to make better ai prompts

lizardky.bsky.social•250 days ago

I’m watching Donal Sutheland in Pace Cowbys right now!

brianarnold.bsky.social•250 days ago

It's bad enough that media have pre-written obituaries. Now we have to worry about AI-generated biographies available on demand the moment a celebrity dies?

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•250 days ago

AI-generated biographies (or just the text from Wikipedia disguised as a book) are worth decrying, I'd say, but pre-written obits seem sensible to me.

When they're needed, they're needed fast, but have to cover stuff that happened mostly well in the past. So having a researched, written file...

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•250 days ago

...that can be pulled out, reworked and updated to bring it up to the present and published seems like a very sensible thing to do.

brianarnold.bsky.social•250 days ago

Fair enough. I have just always thought it kind of morbid.

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•250 days ago

Think of it as a biography file. The person's death isn't covered in the pre-written material, just their life/accomplishments.

chrismurrin.bsky.social•250 days ago

I made a number of these when I worked more in sports TV, and this is always how I viewed them.

hunterfelt.bsky.social•250 days ago

It's a bit unsettling when you read an obituary for a celebrity that was alive so long that you realize that they had outlived their primary obituary writer. I'm like 90% sure this is going to happen to Mel Brooks and it's going to be his final gag.

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•250 days ago

That's happened a number of times. I tend to give a little congratulations to the decedent, for beating the odds in such an ironic way. More power to 'em.

lizardky.bsky.social•250 days ago

Hey, the Usual Suspects will be flooding media with AI-generated "celebrities", so it's only fair their obituaries be written by their kin!

chrismurrin.bsky.social•250 days ago

At first I thought it was an image of Vin Scully.

rantz.bsky.social•250 days ago

What the hot buttered fuck is going on with that title font?!? It's like melting poop!

womzilla.bsky.social•249 days ago

The AI portrait looks like Jeffrey Dean Morgan playing a Donald Sutherland cameo in a Ron Howard biopic

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•250 days ago

I think your first font guess was correct. That's Hot Buttered Fuck Semi-Sans. Melting Poop is another font family entirely.

johnhudgens.bsky.social•250 days ago

Couldn’t even afford the “R” in Sutherland!

nocatsnomasters.bsky.social•250 days ago

Come for the super-heroes, stay for the font jokes.

rantz.bsky.social•250 days ago

Genuine laughter over here.

symbo1ics.bsky.social•250 days ago

"You think I'd be working here if I could afford a REAL font?"

vancemaverick.bsky.social•250 days ago

Looks like the subtitle and author were added manually, in an inspired choice of…Times New Roman

kevidently.bsky.social•249 days ago

THAT’S ALEC GUINNESS

sansho1.bsky.social•250 days ago

He got the serial comma right and then knocked off for the day?

chrisjcgarcia.bsky.social•250 days ago

Everyone’s focused on his film career. Not enough love for his Dos Equis commercials.

seanlmccarthy.bsky.social•250 days ago

Guessing it’s the Sean Evans who worked the gossip desk on the New York Daily News when I worked there

kurtbusiek.bsky.social•250 days ago

I doubt it's anyone who ever wrote for an actual mainstream publishing outlet.

seanlmccarthy.bsky.social•249 days ago

I'd ask how many Sean Evans could there possibly be, but I use my middle initial professionally for good reason

jlroberson.bsky.social•250 days ago

ah yes, the famous star of DON'T LOOK and INVASION OF THE BODY. So many great performances.

jlroberson.bsky.social•250 days ago

remember how good he was in THE EYE NEEDLE
