The Little Face Mitt Tumblr is a hysterical new blog that changes the facial structure of Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The hilarious photos of the candidate with a much smaller face will give many viewers a startle.
Speaking to the success of the blog, creator Reuben says, “A lot of people are sending me messages to the effect that they have been so oversaturated with Tiny Face Mitts that they are forgetting what Normal Face Mitt looks like. And to me, that’s staggeringly hilarious.”
Come election day, viewers of the blog may struggle to see the properly proportioned face of the candidate, and instead see the hilarious Little Face Mitt.
