Political face morphing has become an art of its own this election year. The New Republic Magazine pulled off a hauntingly realistic blend of Hillary/Obama that is perfectly androgynous. Earlier this year Trendhunter told you about another shocking [Hillary/Obama blend](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shockvertising-hogeschool-universiteits-hillary-obama) in Belgium that is advertising Hogeschool University. While some of the images are disturbing, they have perfect shock-value for magazine covers and billboards.
