Nah. Just because the dust bowl sucked doesn't make absurd photoplasty in bad taste. Nothing is sacred.

I probably would've found it funny if I understood it at first. Not really much to laugh it since I needed explaining, but pretty good nonetheless.

It's not photoshopped. It's a recreation of the famous photo. As I mentioned earlier, it's a part of a whole series.

No other face could fit as well as John Malkovich's face in that picture.

Yeh, looked it up after I saw that pic.

That is one of the better recreations in the series. I don't know if they are intended to be humorous because he did a good job capturing the emotion from some of the originals. There are certain ones where you just can't help grinning.

It's definitely supposed to be humorous.

I'll take your word for it. I know nothing about that guy other than he played Cyrus the Virus.

I'm lookin at some of these pictures while "Shook Ones Pt. II" plays and it lends them a solemn tone.

Seriously? You've never seen Being John Malkovich? I think it's safe to say that photo series was inspired by this scene:
