He does, as far as I know.
Quote: Leevil @ November 20 2011, 7:01 PM GMTThey're amusing in a guilty kind of way. It would make it easier to digest if the "models" are clearly giving consent to have this published.
I never considered the consent/legal angle. I'll take the links to the pics down to be on the safe side.

Nothing those looking for love need more than someone taking the time to ridicule their appearance.
Is this not the same as walking up to someone 'a bit funny looking' in a bar and randomly humiliating them, only without the risk of getting that well deserved kicking?

I can't imagine you or anyone else would face any legal ramifications. No doubt that these links have been posted all over the web already. It just concerns me that these images are mean spirited with no real end other than to mock innocent people.
Don't worry Gerry, I don't think it will reflect badly upon you. After all, I regularly look at memes without a thought to the subject who has been branded all over the web, forever immortalized with a humourous caption.
Cheers Leev.
Well, they were funny, very funny. If this makes me horrible, so be it! 
I showed them to a girl too, she also laughed hard; what a horrible bitch.
They remind me of that horrible picture Napoleon Dynamite gave to his potential date.
Don't take it so personal, Matt. I laughed at first too, but then considered what I was looking at, is all.

It's okay, I'm not taking it personally, honest, it's just made me realise finally what a shit I am.
(Also not quite sure how I could take it personally!)

Maybe next time you kick that homeless man, you'll do it with less gusto?

It is the context that renders the pictures despicable.

Care about people other than yourself? What are you; Jesus?!

Or more gusto, to get the job done quicker and end the misery.

Maybe "personally" was the wrong word?
To be honest, if I was on a dating site and something like that came through, I'm not sure I'd do anything other than laugh. As long as it was a one off, obviously get a bit creepy if it carried on. Obviously others may be a bit more fragile.
How would you feel if it was published without your consent and then went viral?

Aroused.
I just had to find this elsewhere, since I got here too late to see any of what you're talking about!
Somewhere else it said that he messaged them first to ask if they wanted him to draw a picture of them? If that was true for every time then it's slightly less horrible. But I doubt it is somehow.
