They look like a bunch’a gas station hot dog weenies that have been sitting in the warmer for too long.
The unfunny answer is likely that somebody tweaked the picture to up the orange, specifically to get a reaction. Especially likely since the reverse image search pulls up reddit as the first source, and reddit loves nothing more than beating a comedy dead horse. Finding pictures that were from the same event, people are noticeably less orange colored. Even RFK who does have an orange tinge isn’t oompla loompa colored like in the OP picture.
Also community rule 2.
Idk this isn’t much better lol… RFK still looks like he was left in the air fryer a few minutes too long.
If you don’t want to see the difference in the hue/saturation/vibrancy between the photos, I think continuing back and forth would be pointless. The colors are to my eye, clearly tweaked. In the OP image even Ronald Reagan looks like he used a little spray tan. Somehow the deep brown-grey shadow on the side of his face took on a significantly more red tint, despite this being a flat painting photographed in identical lighting between both photos.
I touched on this above but did a very quick modification on mobile and only adjusted black levels. Not warmth, hue, saturation etc. The man is, unquestionably, of the “fake tan / orange” variety - and the woman, while more “natural,” is effectively leather. I left our head dried apricot in charge out of the picture because he is easily the worst one in the image. The painting is catching some bad light - but it’s still a bit too washed out regardless.

Black levels eyeballed:
Look at the guy in the far right of the original photo vs the photo I put up. He has a fairly normal skintone in the photo I put in, and is positively oranged up in the OP photo. I think he is a good barometer of the change. This isn’t to say RFK is a baseline normal looking person, but two things can be true- RFK looks weird and the colors were heightened, with one result being exaggerating the tone that was already there for him.
Sure. There are absolutely people in that photo who have a normal skin tone. If the saturation were being brutally jacked up to make RFK look orange then they too would be off color completely (most likely beet red.) The point I was getting at is this doesn’t take much modification (even to fairly benign levels like my example shows) to land him firmly in the topic’s question.
Yes - the observation is being made because it’s funny; but if we’re being honest - the pictures don’t really need all that much assistance to make OPs point, though.
While I won’t disagree that someone upped the saturation on the above photo slightly - and slightly is the key here: it easily could have been auto corrected to that level on a simple photo editor automatically. I wouldn’t be comfortable with malice being the underlying reason for what appears to be an attempt to make the photo look less washed out - which your example appears to be.
The problem is a lot of these people are positively off of an actual human color. Spray / fake tan or years of sun exposure and subsequent damage. Take your pick. Either way: correcting color without intentionally distorting the spectrum to make them look ‘normal’ is not kind to most of the people in the original photo… and not drastically far off from what it appears to be.
Disclaimer: I’m not looking at this at the office where I have a display that has been properly calibrated - but I’m reasonably certain of my assessment.
While we’re on the subject of oompa loopmas… What’s up with Cindy Loo Who and the guy behind her? Holy canoli.
Oompa Loompa, what do we do?
With President Nazi and his orangutan crew
Oompa Loompa, how could it be?
A thunderous applause for the death of liberty
Oompa Loompa, now tell me true,
What do you get when they push it through?
A fractured nation, torn apart,
A heavy, heavy, broken heart.
It’s a cult thing. You wouldn’t get it.
You misspelled it. I think it’s an

It’s weird that the most natural complexion in the photo is the painting of a dead guy on the wall.
They’re hiding how old and decrepit they look.
It’s not very effective.
No, see it’s like a chameleon: it’s for blending into their surroundings. Their natural habitat is most likely… uh … a faux leather seat from the 60s? Or some old slightly off color wood paneling. Get them in their hunting ground and all you will see is a telltale shimmer against the backdrop…
Looking tanned can be a stereotype about being rich and successful (“from the elite”), can be about being hardworking (“from the people”), can be about being energetic and decisive (strength, efficiency).
Anyway, their cosmetics don’t yet look uglier than those from Russian “council of the federation” photos.
Seems not the most important thing. Having bad taste is not a crime.
Man! I’ve been rich and successful my entire life! Specially in summer! It don’t feel like it though. Speaking of which, I’ve watched a ton of porn and I can tell that nipples tend to be the total opposite.
In the late middle ages, nobility would wear make up, false moles, or adopt the verbal inflections of the monarch as a part of courtier parlance.
If there was a way to encourage Washington culture to get everyone to wear orange makeup, we totally should.
Not that our federal government isn’t already a parody of itself in countless other ways.
Suckups like to imitate aspects of the person they’re sucking up to.
must suck the boots of the guy who set all this in motion
As ive learned from another lemmy post, theres a fetish called bimbofication. I think thats whats happening here. Weeks left until trump starts wearing higheels, leopard print and huge plastic cups.
Bottle blondes, bottle bronze. Nothing about conservatives is authentic.
Even their hate is manufactured.
Jeez I can see MTGs boner from here.
Bone her? I hardly know her!
Comments like this is why incels are creepy, and also why they are incels. But they blame woke and feminism for their own creepy behavior.
Would be sad, really, if they weren’t so hateful.
Not saying the above commenter is an incel. But this is the type of comment I would expect from someone who identifies with that community, so I thought I would take the opprotunity to point it out.
Seeing Cheryl Hines there makes the “episode is over and Larry David is screwed” music play in my head.
America is Larry David
Wow I did not recognize her or know she was married to the Crypt Keeper. That’s wild
Yep, lost a ton of respect for her. She said she’d divorce RFK Jr if he backed Trump. Now here she is mere feet away from him in the oval fucking office.
Every time I see a pic of Marjorie The Gathering, I’m reminded of the best description of her I’ve ever read: that she looks like a serial killer who is wearing a victim’s face.
I haven’t been able to enjoy Marjory The Gathering since the release of Fallen Empires. Each expansion since Revised just feels like a cash grab that I refuse to invest in.
She looks like a Neanderthal.
She looks like Dog the Bounty Hunter in drag.

The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human - sweat, bad breath, shitty spray-on tanner, everything. Very hard to spot.
