An Amazing (useless) Talent, Go Cavs?

Now this is what I'm talking about! Just knowing that there are people out there who can use an etch-a-sketch to draw better than i can makes me feel real good about myself. Knowing that this guy probably took hours to complete a drawing that could be destroyed by one quick shake reaffirms myself for not pursuing etch-a-sketch-ing as a career.

But all jokes aside, can you believe this? With all the CGI that is in movies these days, it always skews my perception on what is real and what is computer generated. Now having seen this video, I am almost convinced that he spent thousands of dollars to virtually create this whole thing just so he could post in on youtube. I mean there is no way that someone is this talented at a 1960's toy when there are things such as life outside your door is there? I mean if someone can draw a full blown picture on these things when i can barely make an accurate square, you got to wonder what it says about me, and him.

But i must applaud this guy, he has given hope to etch-a-sketch fanatics all across the world, if you etch-a-sketch a picture of a worldwide sports megastar, people will forget how nerdy and anti-social it is, but comment on how real and authentic LeBron James looks. And you got to wonder what LeBron is thinking when he sees this. Other than tattoo-ing an athlete's face onto your body, i believe etch-a-sketch-ing your favorite athletes profile is probably as fanatical/creepy as it gets. But as they say, to each his own.
