Hah. Similarly, I made a Firefox extension back in the day that replaced people's faces in photos with this face: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/borderlands/images/5/59/...

My implementation was pretty hackathon-worthy, too, if I say so myself. The shoop face would be scaled and placed only while on Facebook, using FB's own facial recognition metadata on each page.

Nice! Would you at all be willing to provide the extension? This would make slow days so much better.
Unfortunately I never published it, and the hard drive with it is long gone. It shouldn't be difficult to replicate though, they still put that metadata in the DOM so that they can put the little boxes around faces.
