The Late Tony Snow??
Completely inappropriate. And tasteless. Tony Snow was the best in the business. He left young children and a wife behind. It’s not a joke
Neither is war. “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb -Bomb, Bomb Iran”
That has nothing to do with it
This is “TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE” .com not “HE’S A GOOD PERSON LET’S SYMPATHIZE” .org. -___-
didn’t mean it as a joke. though I disagree with his policies, I just didn’t know if they wanted to put the late Tony Snow, its not like I said ‘HAHA HE R DED’ chill out you uptight jerk
I agree. Timing is bad. Plus it is a post chemotherapy picture….The idiots right after your post are childish and insensitive to his family. Doesn’t matter if you agree with his politics or not. Mike Harris below you GETS it. Bravo Mike Harris.
Meh, it’s a silly joke. It’s not as if it was done in a spiteful manner. You fools are all taking it waaaaay to seriously. As far as Mike’s nearly endless tirades? TLDR, don’t care.
One reason this is so tasteless is the fact the picture was taken while he was sick, after he found out he had cancer. This is a sick comparison, whoever posted this.
is that you, Mike?
So because you disagree with his political views he’s a bad person. Nobody
said it is because he is dead, it is because he died so recently. Get a clue.
You are right – bad people are bad. Those who are pro abortion are truly the worst kind of people. It’s obvious you are a mean-spirited liberal with your choice of foul language when expressing yourself.
I’m no fan of neocons. And I’m a big fan of your site. But this is VERY tasteless.
I noticed you did not make the same objection to the John Kerry/Herman Munster lookalike, and Fred Gwynne is dead. Difference is??
Difference is that Fred Gwynne’s family and friends aren’t still feeling the fresh pain of losing him to cancer a few weeks ago.
There’s such a thing as class. Even if your worst enemy dies, you don’t go over and hock a loogie onto his wife and kids. And Snow was far from the worst of the bunch.
its a looks like comparison. its not like they put him next to a picture of Powder and dangled fresh bone marrow on a stick in front of him. BTW I nominate you as the next look-a-like and they should line your face up to a horse breeding receptacle.
You FAIL at judging what is funny.
Comparing my appearance to that of a “horse breeding receptacle.” Well, you get points for creativity there. But then you lose those same points for retreading that very old, very tired “FAIL” meme. You FAIL at apostrophe usage and correct capitalization, “BTW”.
A close friend to the Snow’s, are you? How do you know that his family did not also think that he resembled Max Headroom? Is it not possible that they might find a little humor and respite from their grief in this? It’s not as though the author directly insulted Mr. Snow and “hock(ed) a loogie onto his wife and kids”, she just pointed out a physical resemblance…
“Difference is that Fred Gwynne’s family and friends aren’t still feeling the fresh pain of losing him to cancer a few weeks ago.”
So time is all it takes to make it okay to poke fun a the deceased?
Right! I am a close friend of the Snows, a neocon in disguise, come to ruin your fun!
And, yeah, *snort*, I’m sure the Widow Snow will take a break from missing her husband coming in the door at the end of the day to think, “You know, my husband really DID look like Max Headroom! LOL! ROFL! I feel all better now! Hey, kids, come here, I’ve got something to show you! No more grieving!”
And, yes, time is indeed all it takes to make it okay to poke fun at the deceased, idiot. That’s why when a comedian says a joke about a recently deceased person and it falls with a thud, the usual response is, “What, too soon?”
My my, a bit angry with the name calling, eh? Perhaps it’s time to log off the computer and do a bit of yoga, work those negative feelings out…
HAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM.
It is good to know that you look to comedians to set your moral standards… You can never aim too high!!
Actually, comedians are the ones who usually decide it’s appropriate to crack wisecracks shortly after someone’s death. Which would be you guys. So if you think poorly of such comedians, you should be looking in the mirror.
Never said I thought poorly of comedians… Thought Michelle did a good job with this posting! Made me laugh, and I didn’t even hock a loogie in anyone’s face! Neither did Michelle. But you go watch comedy central, and when John Stewart says it’s okay to laugh at Mr. Snow’s resemblance to Max, you just come on back here and have yourself a chuckle…
Deleting your comments now, are we?
Huh?
Actually, I don’t even think I’ve got the ability to delete comments. Not that I would.
YES. TIMING…That was the WHOLE POINT everyone was making. How many times do you have to hear that and from how many people?
This dead horse, neither pun, nor offence intended, has been beaten, Frankie/Mike.
If you want me to stop responding then don’t continually retort with assanine defenseive reasons why it wasn’t in bad taste..
Bored now…
I’ll counter with the following two points, to the chagrin of any number of people:
*1. Tony Snow was the willing mouthpiece and purveyor of nonsensical spin for an Administration of lunatics responsible for a fair amount of death and destruction. I feel; bad for his family and friends, sure enough, but i doubt he shed too many tears over dead soldiers and civilians who were the victims of “his master’s voice”
*2. The willingness to defy common decency and good taste (while conveniently managing to be shocked…SHOCKED, I TELL YOU!!! when any measure of it gets thrown back at them) is how conservatives have consistently been able to wrest power away from the more sane and sensible among us. they have consistently counted on their uglier tendencies never truly being met in kind because all they have to do is start screeching about how “uncivil” the liberals are and sure enough somebody will break their own neck rushing to apologize to them, for all the good that will do.
Regarding your post that says “The willingness to defy common decency”. Please explain how that was applicable to Tony Snow. (This ought to make for fine convoluted obfuscation)….
I think being the mouthpiece for this administration in and of itself is an affront to good taste and decency. During his tenure on that job, he was not really any different than Baghdad Bob, and as far as other conservatives go, just throw on a few minutes of talk radio and it’s like Orwell’s “Two-Minutes-Hate” stretched out 24/7
Pretty short on specicifs.
Actually, yeah, you do. It’s part of the law of comedy. You’re allowed to laugh about it. The day Sonny Bono died, skied into a tree, the Daily Show said, “The world lost another tree hugger.” If you want comedy, you best get comfortable checking your self-righteousness in at the door. Tragedy is where comedy hides.
Thank you, Ham. I think you pretty much nailed it…
Sweet, who else died?!?!
Oh, I remember… wait, Heston wasn’t in the administration.
nobody said anything like that though. and in that picture he does look totally like max headroom.
Oh I agree the pictures are similar. I just think the timing is really really bad.
The funny thing is that I’m from Canada, Ontario and Mike Harris was the name of the Ontario Premier that screwed up Ontario as much as Bush screwed up the US!
One is dead, the other’s career is.
I think Tony would have gotten a laugh out of this. He could take a jazzing and give it right back, great sense of humor. There is resemblance after all. I loved Max Headroom, and the actor is now on Eureka in it’s 3rd season, so not quite dead, but in intensive care.
Mat Frewer has a role in the upcoming “Watchmen” movie.
And regarding this BS pseudo-caring about tact: maybe we should offer an apology to the widow Snow when she posts on this site. Sheesh. Seriously, though, laughter is how we overcome grief. I know nothing is better than wallowing in abject despair in misery forever and a day, but c’mon people.
Is it that disrespectful to say of the deceased, “Y’know, he *does* bear an uncanny resemblance to that popular TV character from the 80s”? I’d think that may (*gasp*) help the friends and family to think about other good things he did.
You’re right. Tony would have laughed. Can’t say that his family is laughing at it right now. I’d give it a year..
Tony Snow was an excellent press secretary because he could take a knock to the chin and get right in the midst of a howling mob and get down and dirty. And he did that during a difficult presidency and with great aplomb.
I think he’d have laughed his ass off!!!
OMG, my mom used to watch that show all the time! xD
Mr. Snow probably would have found it funny when he was alive, but it’s tasteless now when he’s so recently dead and people who knew him are still grieving.
I dunno… sure, he’s dead, but the lookalike is right on the money. And it doesn’t insult or defame him in any way.
This.
Dead or alive, a joke is a joke. It’s those that fear it being taken seriously that end up taking it seriously. Good ol’ self-fulfilling prophecy.
————————————–
Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.
Kurt Vonnegut
That quote rocks! You think Mike is in full armor right now?
I do.
Well if that model of good logic and serious dialogue KURT VONNEGUT said it, it MUST hold weight.
He just died recently….maybe this would be funny in a year or so – but, I think it’s too soon to make a joke about him.
(even though he DID work for the evil W)
Maybe you guys should put Estelle Getty up as well, in memoriam
If I found somebody she resembled in a humorous context, I would.
Estelle would have appreciated it.
This one makes me sad.
And Max Headroom scared the crap outta me as a kid.
Considering the recent events, this was done in poor taste.
Yes, saying someone looked like someone else, man, that’s offensive. Because one of them just died and saying they looked like someone else, when now they’re dead and don’t look…like…any– Nope, it’s not working.
Ok, I give up–what is even remotely offensive? Because Max Headroom was an inhumane monster who tortured children and kicked puppies and so Snow looking like him is slanderous? If that’s it, I totally missed that episode of Max Headroom.
This may have been the ONLY lookalike posted on this site so far that wasn’t insulting at all–but that didn’t stop you from getting sand in your panties. Or did you have the sand in there to begin with?
The point is, he does look like Max Headroom. It’s not in poor taste. It’s just true.
It’s true, but the TIMING is in poor taste.
How is the damn timing in poor taste?! Yes, he’s dead. Yes he died recently.
Where oh where is this grievous offense that has so damn many bleeding hearts beating there breasts in sympathy?
It’s not like the photo was of Snow’s post-mortum, and was captioned “Tony Snow’s cancer-ridden corpse looks just like Jabba the Hutt’s colonoscopy!”
The pic captures a vibrant, happy Tony, and compares him to a — is “beloved” to strong a term? — television character phenom of the 80s. Where’s the offense?
too soon.
Wow some of you people are pretty uptight.
I can’t fricken believe all you guys that keep going on about how horrible this picture was.
1) Tony Snow was a public figure. This is NOT the only place that his image will continue to appear while his family and friends are mourning.
2) There are a whole lot worse comparisons that can be made. Being compared to Max Headroom was actually pretty benign, and in some circles, an honor.
3) Someone said this was a post-chemo picture. I can’t verify that, but if it’s true, he looks really damn good in the picture.
I think it’s much more disrespectful to discount the guy’s life work just to take a public jab at the party/administration that the guy was affiliated with. You guys are the real FAIL.
I said it was a post chemo picture, and it is. There are lots of pictures of him, you can tell the difference.
NOBODY said it’s a horrible picture. NOBODY said it didn’t look like Max Headroom. He certainly does. Again, for the 150th time for those slow learners out there, the TIMING is not appropriate for someone recently deceased be it Tony Snow, Tim Russert, George Carlin or ANY other public figure on the left, right, or center who leaves behind a grieving family. I would be saying the exact same thing if it were Russert (a liberal) Give it a year.
Comedy has no timeframe. Public figures get skewered the day they died, by satirists, by comedians, by everyday folks. It’s always happened, it will always happen. Liberals do it, conservatives do it, libertarians do it, greens do it.
The pictures are fine, the comparison is harmless, there is no subtext even. This isn’t even cruel. It was the most vanilla comparison on this site. There’s not any reason to suspect Tony even wouldn’t have thought this funny.
He’s a public figure–he gets treated publicly. If you don’t like public figures being lampooned, you belong to the wrong species. We’re humans and we do this. We always have, we always will. And it’s mostly appreciated. Look up at the rating this comparison got. Doesn’t look like many people are with you on this one. Public figures get public sentiments, and they get them on the public’s timeframe. And you? You’re just a voice in the crowd.
Your definition of how long it takes till it’s ok to make fun of someone is nothing but subjective. Give it a year? Was this the officially designated mourning period until you can say something about someone who died? I doubt Tony Snow’s family is going to stop caring about any jokes made at his expense just because a year has gone by. They may never get over it. Should we then never say anything about a deceased until the family says it’s ok? This is why you have taken this position right? To respect the families of the deceased? If Tony Snow’s family says they never want to hear or see anything that might be construed as inappropriate are you going to respect their wishes? Or is this your own personal, arbitrary, moral guideline?
Time is not the only factor in how soon you can talk about a dead person. Likability is just as important. You think anybody said, “give it a year” when they were talking about Saddam Hussein? And no, Tony Snow is not as bad as Saddam, but he chose to take the job of knowingly lying, LYING, to the american people. Frankly, this simple comparison of his face to someone else’s is incredibly tame in my book.
I think Queen Victoria set the official limits on proper mourning. I’m pretty sure that if you look in the right placesyou’ll even find a published guide or two regarding proper mourning ettiquette.Until Queen Vicki lost her beloved Albert, mourning was pretty arbitrary as a *general* thing. At least in most western cultures that I’m aware of.
Now if ol’Mr. Snow had died while embedded in a military squad stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan and been killed by a roadside bomb or by a suicide bomber, the irony would have been WAY to delicious for even the most moral of us to ignore.
Mourning periods are completely arbitrary. Get over yourselves. If you’re worried about common decency, why the hell are you looking at this website anyway? If you want sympathy for poor Tony’s family, I’m sure you can find more than one blogspot with plenty of folks to commiserate with you and wring their hands over sites like this.
It boils down to a couple of things: you’re offended by the timing; we have no idea *what* Tony Snow’s family thinks; people are defending or criticizing an arbitrary timeline of decency; and as human beings, we generally love to hear our own voices. Oh yeah, one more thing – it’s a STUNNING likeness. Deal with it.
did it occur to any of you that maybe it was submitted before he died? or that the people who run this site might not be keeping up with events like that? I mean, it’s not exactly a site full of intellectuals.
HEY!! I TAKE OFFENSE TO oh wait… nevermind…
Look at the time date stamp under it. It was posted after he died.
posted, perhaps….but originally submitted… WHEN?
I had no idea who this guy was until I read the comments. I laughed when I first saw the photo, and I laughed after I read the comments too.
People who are so uber-sensitive should give away their computers and stay far away from the Internet. We’re a bunch of liberal-minded, unsympathetic jerks here.
You didn’t know who Tony Snow was? Or Max Headroom?. Either way, it’s pastt your bedtime and if you mean Tony Snow, please don’t vote. If you’re old enough. Besides, this is supposedly NOT a political site.
At least it wasn’t.
Yep, look just alike. And while not a fan of shrub and his merry band of thieves, I think Tony Snow DID have a sense of humor and would smile. I have cancer and I’d much rather see people smile when I’m gone. Life is FAR too short not to have a sense of humor.
Bravo on the cancer commentary. Boo Hiss on the “please don’t vote” comment. It’s hard enough to get young folk to vote as it is, and we’re the ones who have to live longest with the consequences of our comntemporaries NOT voting.
Tony Snow was a damn fine human being, an excellent journalist, and the best press secretary in the history of press secretaries…..and he totally looks like Max headroom. He did even BEFORE the chemo. And since Tony actually had a sense of humor, I think he would have agreed.
I agree with you on everything except the fine human being, excellent journalist, best press secretary, and sense of humor comment. Other than those things, completely spot on!
This is tasteless and no he didn’t look like Max Headroom before chemo. THAT’S why is tasteless. His face was much fuller and he had a lot of hair before chemo. What made him look like that was, I believe called, Cachexia. Between the chemo and the cancer, the body can’t keep up weight and loses muscle and fat.
Would you show a JFK autopsy picture next to a celebrity doppelganger? No,
because it’s tasteless, meanspirited and disrespectful. How about a looks like picture of Karen Carpenter as she was wasting away from anorexia?
If this was the Howard Stern Show or some other area where tasteless is encouraged, I’d say OK. I still wouldn’t like it, but that’s their gig. I don’t think this site is THAT type of site.
There’s a difference between laughing at death and laughing at a dying man.
I had no idea who this guy was (and still don’t care – the only good Press Secretary was CJ Cregg!) because I’m an Australian and we regard the US Political process as a distant amusement.
The funny comes from the juxtaposition of images, not whether those portrayed are quick or dead.
As for timing – hell, 15 minutes after reading Frank Sinatra was dead I had a webpage up with the lyrics for New Corpse, New Corpse, complete with can-can dancing animated skeletons. Too soon?
I thought I kept up with politics, but I didn’t know who Tony Snow was. That’s why I don’t thi-thi-thi-think it’s too soon to make jo-jo-jo-jo-jokes. Especially when it’s not about the deceased.
Hmmmm, McCain got bom-bom-bom-bomb Iran from Max Headroom ? Room ?
Excellent!
I am a big fan of Tony Snow. I am quite sure he would love the comparison. Ask his close friends. Tony was, and still is, a class act. It is a good look-alike!
I saw the comparasion months ago when he left the white house. I made a remark on the daily show site about it, and got read the riot act by just about everyone.
Wow.
Too soon, not soon enough…Does it matter?
The comparison is not a judgement of Mr. Snow’s character or beliefs, nor is it an attempt to capitalize on his tragic death for a cheap laugh. It’s just a humorous physical comparison.
And before anybody gets their panties in a bunch, I am a conservative. Card-carrying, as a matter of fact. And I think it’s funny. I think most of us feel that way. However, there are a few on BOTH sides who will take any opportunity to turn this into a political argument. So I say to that minority: get your soapboxes, repeatedly smack yourselves in the head and crotch with them, and leave. Go to Daily KOS or townhall.com and start something over there. That’s all. Quit reading into it. ALL OF YOU. To quote Sigmund Freud, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” Think about it.
*looked
U guys are too sensitive! This is spot on!
Funny as hell – tasteless, who cares. Sounds like normal now days – too many people with a chip on their shoulders waiting to be offended by something. GET OVER IT!!!! He’s dead and in another 50 years no one will get the joke or even remember who he was (or Max Headroom for that matter)…..such is life (or death).
I agree with everyone who said this was inappropriate. The man was dying, for crying out loud.
This is all fail. Max Headroom looks like Matt Frewer.
LOL
It wouldn’t be that bad, but this is a picture of a person stricken with a terminal, debilitating disease.
It’s really a nice and useful piece of info. I’m happy that you shared this helpful information with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.
I’m not going to pay attention to opinions on the subject of tastelessness by someone who is still using the word “retarded” to describe something he doesn’t like. Good grief, man, what are you, 12?
that being said, you DID respond to his post…
paying attention to an opinion ≠ responding to the message
Dear Mike,
Based on the sheer number of times you’ve posted on this thread, you’re taking this silly little joke and yourself too seriously. You seem to have forgotten that you’re on the internet, and no one cares.
Thanks,
Internet Users in General
