Ben Franklin
Money Celebrities: Benjamin Franklin Leto
Recently Freaking News had a Photoshop contest involving money and celebrities. Our hometown hero, Benjamin Franklin, was featured, combined with the ever so dreamy Jared Leto.
He’s also mixed in with Ben Stiller and Josh Duhamel
Take a look, a lot of these are fantastically well done.

Ben Franklin in Star Wars
“Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.”
- Ben Franklin, London 1745

Uncrate is featuring an awesome Abe Lincoln Zombie Hunter t-shirt, which I ordered just before writing this post.
Here’s hoping someone makes a good Ben Franklin version. All we’ve been able to find is a zombie Ben Franklin, on a hundred dollar bill.
