Yeah, sure, practically twins.

Today HuffPost has a feature titled These Celebrity Look-alikes Will Blow Your Mind. This is followed by a parade of 61 side-by-side photos of famous people who bear an uncanny resemblance to each other. Except they don't. True they may have the same hairstyle or glasses, but for the most part there is no resemblance whatsoever. Yet someone took the trouble to create this false feature and add it to a leading website. Why?  Is this what entertainment has come to: create filler no matter how accurate it is? Do your really think Jake Gyllenhaal and Jared Leto look alike? Of course they don't. And they look more alike than most of the other 60 side-by-side photos on this absurd HuffPost feature. That's what blows my mind.
