Who would have thought the removal of a nose and eyebrows could have such a freaky effect on someone’s appearance? Does that sound strange? Let me explain.

Freaking News is a site that operates much like Worth1000.com and runs various [online Photoshop competitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-to-caricature-pictures) for people to express their creativity. This latest competition had some rocking results, as you can see from the gallery. Mick Jagger, Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood are all included--I think they all look a bit like newts.
