“Putting Your Phone Near The Top Of Your TV And Tilting It Down Turns The Candidates Into Debating Big Brains”

ADVERTISEMENT

Aliens live among us! Or at least that’s what some people’s first reaction would be if they tried an incredibly simple but funny trick while watching TV. If you watch your TV through your phone from above and at an angle, you can make anyone on-screen look like they’re an egghead with an IQ of 9,000.

That’s what one internet user did while watching one of the United States Democratic Party’s debates, turning possible presidential candidates into big-brained mutants just by changing the phone angle used to watch TV. Like I said, simple (like 3rd-grade level simple) but funny.

Watching TV through your phone from above…

…makes people’s heads look gigantic, just like aliens

Big-headed pictures of the Democratic candidates were a real hit on the internet. On Imgur, over 46,000 people saw the collection of pictures, over 4,780 upvoted it, and another 382 left a comment.

As you probably already expected, a large chunk of the comments deals with the following topics (in alphabetical order): aliens, brains, heads, and Martians. Some commentators drew comparisons between the politicians and the titular genius characters The Brain, as well as Megamind.

The US Democratic Party is in the process of determining which politician will represent the political group in the 2020 American presidential elections. And the competition is something fierce.

This year’s field of Democratic candidates is the largest field of presidential candidates for any American political party since 1972, even exceeding the field of 17 major candidates that sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.

As of September 20, 2019, 19 major candidates are seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020. Among the candidates are the former Vice President of the US Joe Biden, US senator from Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren, and US senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders. Real Clear Politics aggregated the data from several different polls and posted an average of the results: Biden is in the lead with 27.8 percent, Warren has 21.5 percent, and Sanders is in third place with 17.5 percent.

Okay - I didn't read the text but wouldn't it make more sense to take the pix from the perspective where their mouths and lower part of the face are huge and their brains are small? Or maybe I'm just a bit jaded by politicians... for some reason.

I feel a little bit ashamed at how much I snort-laughed at this post. They should do one with trump where his mouth and lower face is huge and his brain is small

Booker looks like Minnie Me in the first one. Also, the tiny arms are the best part about these pics.

Rrrrrrrright... Demonizing, heckling and/or ridiculing all politicians surely does not make going into politics at any level anything that anyone with the least inkling of self-esteem would think of doing without hesitation. And yet, a democracy is democratic and will remain being so, only to the extent that ordinary citizens get involved with politics, at every level there is.

One way of leveling the playing field would be to limit the amount of money given to any political party or politician from any one donor to a maximum of USD1000. Facebook, TV,, newspapers and billboard owners all happily fill their coffers

Their heads may be big, but all their brains are still the size of a pea.
