A Toronto-based artist is using Etsy to offer a different service than most of the website's regular customers are used to. For $12, you can use Jazzberry Blue's "Cagification" to turn a photo of you into Nicolas Cage. The posting reads:
"Have you ever wanted to look like Nicolas Cage..? don't be ashamed, i understand..."
"Send me any photo via the contact button and i will turn you into Nic Cage within 2 hours. Neither you nor Mr Cage will be harmed in the process... you will receive the final JPEG in your inbox."
"I dont want to do this, nor will i gain any personal satisfaction… im not some twisted nic cage fan, i dont even watch movies and i cant explain why he haunts my dreams. i am doing this because i need 12$." [sic]
For anyone who already looks like Nicolas Cage, the artist offers to make them look less like the actor for $6. Additional features like devilish eyes, a flying squirrel, black cat or Christian Slater can be added to your photo for $0.99 each.
