It is safe to reawaken the guy from Vanilla Sky: The Spanish recipient of the world's first full face transplant unveiled himself—and his all-new skin, muscles, nose and lips—for TV cameras today in Barcelona. He looks pretty good!

If you ever selected a plastic surgeon or LASIK doctor based on a random YouTube video, it's probably apt that that video only happened as a result of an under-the-table payment and the doctor was really incompetent and now you walk around blind and ugly. But what about the victims of the future? Plenty of doctors…

Ha. After everyone on the internet watched Glenn Beck's nutty, rambling YouTube video about his mysterious surgery, we all forgot to watch his damn show on Monday.
