It seems that ↑Cory Doctorow somehow managed to virally spread his on- and offline looks Snow-Crash style. ↑Charles Stross ↑commented the above, non-doctored (pun not intended) picture like that:
 

Now, when ↑anthronaut discovered Cory Doctorow’s BoingBoing-entry
↑Second Life edition of Printcrime minicomic he at first thought it was me in the accompanying picture:

 


 

As the picture is to be ↑found on his blog, too, I suspect that the blue-man avatar in the pic is Doctorow’s “↑Second Life“-persona. So I couldn’t resist, voyaged to the ↵Fabjectory, and re-staged the scene:
 


 

UPDATE (10 September 2007):
Just received an e-mail from ↵Fabjectory founder ↑Michael Buckbee. Mike clarified the matter of the blue man in the above picture—it ain’t Cory Doctorow, but Mike’s very own avatar Hal9k Andalso. Dig the 2001 allusion and IM him inworld if you want your avatar fabjected. Nevertheless my theory of Mr. Doctorow’s likeness spreading virally still stands true. In fact Mike furnished even more evidence for it, as he pointed me to a blog-entry of his, documenting ↑Cory Doctorow in Manhunt 2. Judge yourself, here’s a screenshot of of one of “↑Manhunt 2“‘s playable characters, former scientist Daniel Lamb:
 


 

Manhunt … well, I officially declare the Coryhunt for open—feel free to e-mail me if you stumble over more Cory-Doctorow lookalikes in the digital or cybercultural realm [comments section here is still closed, due to my not coming around for working on better anti-spam measures, my apologies].
 

P.S.: The upcoming game “Manhunt 2” (the US-release is scheduled for October 2007) already is highly controversial due to extreme depiction of violence. Its predecessor “↑Manhunt“ (Rockstar 2004) has been banned in Germany, Australia, and New Zealand.
