Everyone looks scary when you replace their face with Tom Petty’s

Back in the day (2005), Liz and I worked at a deli in New York’s East Village. We had a grand old time making sandwiches and bowl after bowl of chicken salad, flirting with cute patrons, and engaging in rap battles with coworkers. One of these coworkers snapped a photo of me one day, and although it wasn’t the most flattering of portraits, I posted it on our deli counter wall. The next day I walked in and looked at the photo and, to my horror, was greeted not with my own face but that of Tom Petty! Some rascally coworker had transplanted said crooner’s haggard visage into my beautiful image, with terrifying results. See for yourself.

So naturally I had to see what Liz would look like with Tom Petty’s frightening features pasted over her face. The results were truly disturbing.

I think it’s safe to say that switching somebody’s face with Tom Petty’s is a surefire way to freak them out.
