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…

“I’m Kaneko’s mother.”
“… I wonder what am I?”

▼ Hoping for financial success? Putting your face onto a 5,000 or 10,000 yen note (equivalent to a US$50 and $100 bill) is a start.
