Was WB utilizing THE tattoo itself... or was it actually Mike Tyson's FACE that they were immulating??? By that, I mean, Mike Tyson could of had ANYTHING on the side of his face... would WB still have use Whitell's design??? No! Tyson could of had a simple Anchor on the side of his face... guess what, Ed Helm's would of been sporting an Anchor on his face in the film... WHY? Because he was PARODY-ING MIKE TYSON'S FACE and ITS tattoo. WB and the film were not EMULATING they were PARODY-ING. It's not rocket surgery, people!

The PARDOY of it is that they put this tattoo (made BUTCH by MIKE TYSON a KNOCKOUT BADACE) and juxtaposed it on a GEEKY WHITE NERDY GUY which is anything but BUTCH... THAT'S a PARODY... Just ask Weird Al and his White-n-Nerdy video... or Tina Fey's Sarah Palin imitation... you put the two side by side and they are as indiscriminate as the two tattoos in question... but just like Tina Fey is NOT Sarah Palin... Ed Helm is NOT Mike Tyson... and THAT's the JOKE!
