Around the Interwebs today is this picture which shows the rapid decline of a Japanese news anchor in less than three years.

I did a little photoshopping to restore his hair color (a lot of people were complaining it was only hair color that changed), and gave him the same suit and background as 2005 (to make comparison easier and to avoid the ‘Nixon-Kennedy Effect‘ of having a light suit on a light background in 2007. I also darkened the color on his face as the 2007 image was relatively overexposed.

Decide for yourself.
