It's a Small Mafia World

Yesterday I posted a reprint of the Customer Support Bury The Mole 411 Page (1) and it was bugging me that I didn't have a screen shot. The event instantly made me think of the game we see at fairs and amusement parks called Whack The Mole.  I decided to do a Google Image search and was presented with a bunch of images of random guys playing Whack The Mole. I chose the image of a guy who looked really serious and more like a Mafia Wars player.  To add a touch of humor, I replaced the Mole with Mark Pincus.  I was proud of my creation and went about my business.

Several hours after posting, I got a strange e-mail. Somebody wanted to know why and how I had a picture of him on my blog.  It turns out the random dude playing Whack The Mole isn't so random. His name is Wade and he is a Mafia Wars player just like you and me. He is known as Commander Smiles.  He sent me his Facebook UID so I could add him as a friend and sure enough this is the same guy! Wade doesn't know how his image got on the internet and says the picture must have been taken 3 or 4 years ago.  When I offered to remove the image, he was a good sport about it and now he is in my mafia.
