I think the technology has a long way to go, but it’s still fun to play around with MyHeritage.com’s facial recognition software.

Though it is quite funny that I look just like an Asian actress (according to their software!), I find it even funnier that Nicole looks like Shakira. We really enjoy making fun of Shakira and we were laughing pretty hard at this parody of her this parody of her last weekend. The software must have misinterpreted Erik’s goatee as a second chin; I really don’t think he looks anything like the first secretary general of the United Nations. I guess I might look a little bit like that Asian actress…. Before she lost about 200 lbs.

I suppose MyHeritage’s goal is to collect a hell of a lot of faces for their database. And they probably get loads of photos by letting people compare their pictures with celebrities. Don’t sign up with your real name if you don’t want your illegitimate children to be able to contact you after a successful face match on MyHeritage.
