My
Dad Looks Like The Warden from The Shawshank Redemption

People's Exhibit A: Mom, Dad, and
a photoshopped Bob Gunton pose at Van Cortland Park, New York.
For the longest time I have been hootin' and hollerin'
about my uncanny ability to pick out famous people that look exactly
like other people in my life. When I reveal my choices, however,
the reactions I get are usually underwhelming and might I add,
unfairly so. "That's because we don't have face next to face
evidence," I announce, "but if we did then you'd see
the truth and subsequently have no choice but to agree!"
Sadly, my proclamations have fallen on deaf ears... until now!
The reason for the evidence suddenly emerging: Photoshop,
and its uncanny ability to make the real surreal. Let the prosecution
begin!
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you People's
Exhibit A. In the above Exhibit A please find, from left to right,
my mom, the photoshopped head of Bob Gunton, and my dad, Ralph
Muoio. Members of the jury, please tell me as you look upon the
proof with your own eyes that my dad isn't the spitting image
of Mr. Gunton? And tell me, dear justice enforcers, that my mother
isn't smirking in that phtoo because she knows someday, by the
power of computer that her husband will magicially be standing
next to Mr. Gunton and all the world will see the truth? Oh yes,
dear jury men and women, it is true: my dad looks exactly like
Bob Gunton, the warden from The Shawshank Redemption,
and there's nothing anyone can do to change it!
If you still need convincing then this fact is obvious:
you are a fool. If your eyesight is bad, however, there is a solution:
click on the above photograph. Once clicked the photo will enlarge
and you, too will be free to behold the majesty of Ralph and Bob
united at last through the majesty of The Internet and the glory
of Undependent Media. Hallelujah!

Does your Dad look like Bob Gunton, too? Or maybe
he resembles some other character actor. Shoot Muoio an Email
