Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone! We

1) Where to go first? Let's go with funny:
Couldn't resist sharing this picture after our post on cell phone security experiences with a certain stalking Management team. ;-) Mr. Chris Pine with the flip phone! *thumbs up, Mr. Pine*
2) And since this is Super Bowl Sunday and some folks might be eating some deli sliders, it seems a good time to bring up the subject of "piling on" or "layering". Similar to this,
wrong profession...more like this...
but think more like with people, not bacon and avocado. LOL!

Perhaps rather than trying to worry so much about merging and having to maneuver hands, arms, and the intertwining of said body appendages, it's no doubt easier to just lay pictures on top of one another. There's a plentiful amount of directions on how to do it - probably one of the basics of photoshop,

I love this intro line from an article on a website called Mashable.com:
That photo from dinner last night could have been this year's perfect Christmas card, but your little brother was at baseball practice and isn't in the picture.
Your mom looks at you, the tech guru of the family, and asks hopefully, "Can you just Photoshop him in?"
Knowing how to Photoshop a person into a photograph isn't just a great way to familiarize yourself with basic photo editing skills - it's also a practical skill to have in the digital age. In the tutorial below, you'll learn how to cut and resize an image, adjust a layer mask and modify color levels. - How to PhotoShop People Into Pictures
And just for chuckles,
Worst Celebrity Photoshop Fails on Instagram
Take a look at Arlo in the Genevieve Instagram photos - again, a photo where one of the subjects is "popping in" from a side. Lots of darkness around, why is that? Where does Jared's clothing end and the couch upholstery begin?
Something to watch for as well is "when" photos are released. What is the location listed? Perhaps the subjects really were together, but the background is really manipulated. I don't question every single photo all the time, but bearding photos? With this crew? Heck, yeah.
3) And speaking of photo manipulation, this story certainly caught Narnia's eye. A gossip site calling out a gossip rag for photoshopping. LOL! That's a new one, isn't it? Naming names, taking no prisoners.
On the cover of OK magazine this week is this story on Josh Duhamel and Ben Affleck's "ex", Jennifer Garner:
And Gossip Cop threw down the gavel in their story entitled Josh Duhamel Did NOT Meet Jennifer Garner's Kids . In the story, the site's author uses words like "alleged", "narrative" and "supposed". They accuse OK of digitally editing Duhamel into the picture and sprinkle the story with quite a salting of "air quotes". The story is a written tongue lashing to be sure, aimed at OK magazine for their insinuations and false reporting! Granted, OK is not exactly top shelf tabloid reporting, lol.
But the hanging out to dry of the magazine's front page story makes us take notice, nonetheless. If the story is false, then why the misleading to begin with? Is it just a case of another "debunking" for the sake of publicizing a mis-lead? If you know what we mean???
Updated 09 24 2020 - The following section you will notice has been decimated by the deletion of numerous photos from the Instagram account of Calgon "Caglar" Ertugrul. They're gone. Pfft! Hmm. Just by looking at the sheer number of deleted photos, it seems pretty accurate and safe to say that Narnia nailed this observation a little too efficiently. These early posts of Narnia were made with the naivete of believing social media pictures and tweets are forever. Which they are not. Management makes screenshots and downloads accurate examples like this so that they can go back later and start scrubbing the Exhibit A's from the internet. Now, we know to preserve in our files. But back in 2018? Meh. But it's an utter delight to look at this post and see the scrub*scrub*scrub that happened at some point. 😏 Enjoy nonetheless!
4) And finally, for the last several years, there has been a Turkish actor showing up in Jake Gyllenhaal's social media search. There would be a periodic tweet or two comparing pictures of the two men and how much this young man by the name of "Caglar Ertugrul" looks like Jake. Let's compare for ourselves:
Mr. C E:
and then, of course, our Mr. Jakester himself:
i.e. the following:

Even comparing twosome pics such as this:

and 2014, 2013, 2012:

Well, guess how far back tweets do go, comparing these two men? October of 2012. Isn't that interesting?
Mr. Ertugrul is on Twitter and Instagram. Guess when his Instagram account started? December of 2012.
That's also kind of interesting, especially since so many things began to change for Jake in 2012 - what a year that was for Jake, Austin and the family, but in particular for Jake, who was alleged to have "moved" to New York City and changed from CAA to WME, now Endeavor.
Looking through Mr. Ertugrul's Instagram is also interesting. Notice how (in addition to having a similar physical build) he wears similar styles to Jake:
The Northface jacket:
Cargo shorts:
Fur lined hoods:
The white T:
And then we noticed that while Mr. E is a Turkish actor in both television and film, he has been to America, several times that we can see just from Instagram. And where in America? New York City. Imagine that!
Say for instance November 2015,
December of last year 2017:
Do you see yet where we're going with this?
So, as evident in a Twitter search, since 2012, there have always been many tweets linking this Turkish actor to Jake, placing both of their names in the same tweet. But a couple of days ago, there were two tweets which were actually repeating in Jake's search, something that is uncommon, and frankly - very unlikely. Usually, the tweets get only a handful of likes and retweets. But these two tweets got a bit more than that, which caught my side-eye.
And when the tweets take on a self-elevating nonsensical tone like this one did:
I like Jake Gyllenhaal but come on Caglar Ertugrul is more young and more handsome! And both are so good actors! I really love #cağlarertuğul Team #yagiz #yaghaz— I love series 🌻🦋 (@SoImJustAGirl) February 4, 2018
One needs to take a second look. So looking at the physical similarities and now at the clothes Mr. E has worn, aside from the fact that he is several inches taller than Jake, it suddenly hits us that indeed Jake just may have the perfect doppelganger.
One who has visited New York City. One who has grown a beard. One who has styled his hair like Jake,
Could there be a quid pro quo going on here? Has Mr. Ertugrul's likeness come in irresistibly handy and thus, opportunistic for Jake's team?????
Ohhhhhh, the trouble we here at Narnia can get into when a PR social media team goes overboard. Not throwing down the gavel on this one, but there very well is something going on with this coincidence of all coincidences.
Let's just clarify something however.
There is only ONE Jake Gyllenhaal. And there really isn't any amount of spoonfeeding otherwise which will cause or create anyone else to come close in comparison.
Happy Sunday!!! Enjoy the game!
