Blurry image.

Can someone please post a sharper version of that picture?

Google image search somehow thinks that the picture's related to "funny Jimmy Savile", with "similar pics" being live action pics that doesn't relate to the picture at all.

Searching for "Jimmy Savile Scooby Do" results in the picture pictures that are the same except that the man unmasked is an old man (I assume it's Jimmy's caricature).

I don't know what to do to fix it, and I don't think I have the photoshop skills to digitally enhance the picture

I don't really have a lot of quibbles with it as is, but I'd prefer to find a better image period. The unmasking from the original The Phantom Of The Opera comes to mind, but all the videos I can find have horrible artifacting during the actual unmasking.

There's also Rorschach being unmasked in Comic Book/Watchmen. I found a video of that scene from the movie but it was way too artifacted in the paused scenes to get good screencaps.

For different versions of the same image, I generally click the "All sizes" link beside the image itself, although the first hit there was really blurry.

[up]That didn't work for this image, as all of them are blurry. The only variations that got me are one with the text "A troll?!" on it and what seems to be smaller versions of the same blurry image.

I vote we get a still from The Prisoner finale of Number One being unmasked, but that's just me. Scooby Doo is still a good choice.

I like it, but in the future, please show your sources when proposing an image: The Venture Brothers

So that is four votes, yeah? How many do we need to do the swap?

I count to seven votes myself, but my math skills are greatly exaggerated.

And seven's usually the point where action gets taken, AFAIK, so somebody should swap this.

I might will do it myself, in a bit right now.

[up] Eh...not feeling it.

The clock's up, so let's just run without one for now. Locking up.
