"The Rather Rubbish and Hastily Prepared 2012 Picture Quiz"

Famous Distorted People

Here are some pictures of people who should be instantly recognizable to most. Each of these people hit the headlines during this year. These pictures have been blurred but try looking at them with a hangover (as I was doing earlier today) as they really don't seem to look that much different to the others! Please name these people.

I'm fully aware that this is a lame imposter for the usual high quality quizzes you guys are used to but hopefully it will still be a bit of fun.

In the event of a tie break there shall be a good old fashioned duel at dawn, the survivor of this duel shall be declared the winner of the quiz.

The Answers:

Hold off posting answers until tomorrow, will give this a look this afternoon.

My entry, though it's probably so full of wrong answers it doesn't need spoilers...

Just about to post mine.

Now you've said that I think I know who it is >.<

Thanks very much for the entries and comments guys :)

No.17 is proving to be particularly interesting, we have now had the same incorrect answer from 2 different people. I did show this picture to a couple of my colleagues who all knew of this person and what he did in 2012 but none of them knew what he actually looked like!

Anyone else up for a go before I post the answers?

Skyfall is the only 2012 released film I watched last year so not too strong on the film front. Thanks for the quiz Pete :)
