What a good idea. They all look so strangely vulnerable.

Hey, Clint Eastwood always looks like that.

When I saw the link at the week's start, there was little explanation -- Thought the celebs were caught on camera sneezing.

I was thinking the same thing about Snoop.

I'm not so sure Dr. Ruth is just blinking in that pic. Something rather large is either passing into or out of one of her lower orifices.

I could think and dream for a hundred years and never come up with a more pointless use of the internet.

This clinches it. Snoop Dog looks cooler blinking than most people do with their eyes open.

And davebush: Keep reaching for that rainbow.

This is great.

Who said the eyes are the window of the soul?

They look so peaceful. Some of them, anyway.

I don't think Joan CAN blink, at this point. See, her eyes aren't completely closed...

What an awesome project.

Someone, somewhere, is masturbating to these pics.

Even when he's blinking, you can tell Snoop's always really high.

I don't know why these make me laugh so much, but they do.

And just think, davebush, this kind of website pops up nearly every damned day! Hell, that's half the links we get on MeFi.

At least fearless leader knows and appreciates the importance of quality, thoughtful linkage...

The simple biological act of blinking nicely punctures the usual unctuousness of celebrity-driven TV? Just a guess.

Great post, Sully.

The hair dye is what I noticed. Clint, Snoop, Reagan and Safer appear to be natural. Four out of thirteen.

Eek, I meant Bradley, not Safer.

I find it mildly disturbing that some of the most primary-coloured of those screen grabs are from news programmes.
