For the past week or so, every time I log out of my Chase credit card account an advertisement comes up for home buying. The first time I saw the ad, I had to do a double take. Here is a snapshot of the ad:



Here is the video that is referenced in the ad:


The Wizard:



My question to you is, did I find the Wizard's doppelganger?

I'm not sure he meant that literally. I would suggest that calling comparing one person to another, "An insult," to the latter is an insult to the person to whom the latter is being compared.

I think the guy's striped shirt makes you think of the thread where Mike suggested he looks like Steve from Blues Clues, and you somehow connected things.

No, I don't think he looks like this guy at all.

He looks a lot more like Steve than this guy. In fact, I STILL think Mike should get a Steve shirt and Blue doll and try it out just for shits and giggles...

I believe, given the number of false comparisons, some members have face blindness :)

He does kinda look like this guy, though:

I think Michael needs a piece of the action here!

Both of them have teeth and hair. How close does it have to be?

I see the resemblance. Both guys have 2 eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Could be twins!

Wizard, in this older pic you look even more like that younger guy I saw in Vegas who resembled you. His name was Andrew. Should have taken a pic. Ah well.

I'm with you. Can't agree with the comparison.
