which celebrity are you?

Analogia - You upload your face and complex recognition software returns three celebrities you most resemble. Which are you? The software is surprisingly accurate! (Marginally NSFW: thumb nailed obscenity)
uh... complex joke trypty, but believe it or not there are still folks that have chosen not to gaze upon goatse man. A more comprehensive warning might have been appropriate (although joke-spoiling).
On preview, something like cortex's note. Anyhoo.

Goatse is never "marginally" NSFW, even thumbnailed.
Not cool at all.

Wonderful. You've taken a website that thinks I look like either Scott Baio or Jackie Chan and turned it into something horrible,

As to the post itself, the results I got were:
Denzel Washington
Willem Dafoe
Val Kilmer
so I think perhaps the site needs a little more work in its algorithms.

And I had to fire up virtual PC to get it to work since it doesn't seem to like Macs at all.

One wishes they would just say up front that it doesn't work with Macs -- or that they would spell the word "right" correctly in their dialogue boxes.

Mine was pretty far off, seeing as I'm almost a dead ringer for Anthony Edwards.

It worked for me on Mac OS X running the latest Opera 7 preview. I had to right click the unloaded image and select "open image" twice but it finally fully loaded my face.
It said I looked like: Scott Baio, Gabriel Batistuta, and Rutget Hauer.

Space Coyote: If it's like most face recognition, it's appraising the distances between the features, not anything like the contours. And face-wise, in the more subtle ways Eastern Europeans are far closer to Asians than, say, the French ;)

What's going on? Although the Analogia page is Google cached, I get "site not found" when trying it live, and the root page for gabitus.com leads to the Chearsley Times, a UK village website.
