If ever you needed a frown turned upside down, never was there a better smile-inducer than Face Swap.
Face Swap, for those of you living under a rock, is an application for the iPhone which allows you to do just what the name suggests- swap faces with others. Face Swap Live allows for the same mug-mixing madness, but in video form, and the results are almost always side-splittingly hilarious! The craze has even made its way over to Japan, so let’s take a look at what silliness has ensued…
