All I can do is shake my head. I hope that isn't a real letter!

I know what you mean. But it looks pretty genuine to me.

My guess is that they use some automated color analysis software, and assume that everyone who is not black or brown is some shade of pink, and that this one just tipped the scales...

I actually think the colour is too yellow. I doubt the guy really looks like a plate of custard.

I was so excited about receiving my passport. When it finally came, the lower third of my face is a dark pink, the middle third bright yellow, and the top brown.
I don't know what the hell they did to the photographs but they're awful.

I look like neopoilitan ice cream.

No, it isn't. Just looks like it in the picture.

Here's mine.



I'm getting good at this technomological stuff. Almost as good a computermerator as Steerpike.

Note: not actual real life colors.
Not actual real size.

I'm surprised they let you get away with that big black box over your eyes. Standards are obviously slipping.

For some reason, with all that colour around the gob, you remind me of Homer Simpson.... except you have more hair.

I wonder if I can get a letter saying that I'm too Caucasian?

Brilliant! Your mouth looks like a baboon's arse!

EDIT: No offense intended... I'm sure it doesn't look like one in real life
