What do you do when a slightly awkward picture of President Obama wearing a virtual reality headset hits the internet?
You photoshop it, of course.
The picture was released as part of the 100th anniversary of the U.S. National Park Service. If you're wondering what's capturing the commander in chief's attention, photographer Pete Souza said it was a virtual reality film made during Obama's visit to Yosemite National Park earlier this year.
But that didn't matter for redditors, who reimagined all the virtual worlds the president might have been stepping into instead, with some viral-worthy online mashups.
Ahead, 11 of the best pictures in this Photoshop battle.
