With so many white male Presidential candidates, Buzzfeed hit the streets to see if people could tell them apart. It’s not an easy task, due to the sheer number of them, which I think hovers around eighteen at present, and is subject to change at any moment.
The most often recognized face prize goes – of course, to Donald Trump. I fervently hope that experts who market everything from pickles to pigs feet are wrong when they claim that brand recognition is everything.
I wonder if the celebrities whose faces were confused with candidates could be convinced to run in their place? For instance, someone confused Rick Santorum with Bob Sagget. Another person confused Donald Trump with Martin Sheen. Now that is an excellent trade-off! By virtue of his television work alone, Martin Sheen has more experience than Donald Trump – and we’ve come to recognize him in the Oval Office. Perhaps we can draft Sheen or write him in – think about it!
