Hilarious bug-eyed hoops fan uses face to bother shooters
If you're going to try to distract opposing free throw shooters, why not get a little self-promotion out of it? Big head cutout signs of athletes have been central to the college basketball fan's arsenal for awhile now, but Alabama freshman Jack Blankenship hit upon a twist that's either ingenious or egocentric, take your pick -- putting his own twisted mug on a blow-up cutout.
It has made him big on the Inteet (one screen grab has nearly 700,000 hits), gained him 200 new Twitter followers in 24 hours and made him a campus celebrity ("Oh, you're the guy with the face"). But surely we're just scratching the surface of distracting images.
What should this kid put on his next sign?
