The foolishness of myheritage.com and other similar websites...

You can't go very far on the internet without seeing some online quiz that tells you all about yourself. I know they're "just for fun" but I'm amazed when people say things like, "THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I AM 100% A+++++!" or "THIS THING IS WRONG TIMES INFINITY F----!" They're for fun, right? That's why they usually always result in positive results... unless they don't.

Below I will show you two equally WRONG results from MyHeritage.com

Here is my face-only, forward-facing image:

And, here are the eight "celebrities" that I share facial heritage with, I suppose:

Hilarious, right? But, not exactly offensive. Then, for fun, I used the boyfriend's image. (Reminder: It might take a few tries with a few different photos, and the loading time is intense, but keep trying.)

And, now, words escape me:

Conclusion: Time and reality aside, Lucy Liu and Mao Zedong would be the perfect Asian power couple. Now, I wait for the boyfriend to read this post... mawhahahah.

Natalie Portman is the hottest girl in the history of the universe and you look 57% like her! Not bad!

Hmm, Mao & Lucy? ... I hope Lucy doesn't look like the Chairman's last wife, Jiang Qing, in 20 years time :-P
