Ok…you all know I love Tony Stewart…he’s my favorite driver. Last season there was the whole hair debacle. Some people liked his long hair, some people didn’t like his long hair. Some people (like me) honestly didn’t really care one way or the other.

Anyway long story short (no pun intended)…I was browsing the tonystewartstore.com website looking for baby socks for my nephew.  And then some how I came across the 2008 Tony Stewart Lifesize Standup (and I will openly admit that I kinda want one…I want to stand up in the corner of my office but that’s a different story all together).  Here is the image of the standup as taken from the tonystewartstore.com website:

I saw this and I thought to myself…there is something slightly odd about this picture. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it…and then it dawned on me…I had seen this picture before only Tony had longer hair.  Someone felt the need to retouch Tony’s hair from when he was wearing it longer to a shorter style.  Unfortunately they didn’t photoshop the front of his hair so it looks slighty odd since its long in the front. So then I had to search the internet over to find the original…which I finally found on ciastockphotos.com

It just seems kinda silly that someone took the time to photoshop his long tufts of hair off the photo. I don’t know why it strikes me as odd but it does.  Were that many people really that upset that Tony let his hair grow out a little? I know that you could argue he is a public figure but in all actuality that argument doesn’t even fly with me so don’t try it.  I don’t even know why I felt the need to point this out….but I did.   I also noticed that his hair has been photoshopped shorter on the joegibbsracing.com front page (it actually looks like the same picture of his head to me only reversed)…but not on his actual page. Weirdness.
