Tim Biskup runs a little social experiment of his own. Instead of putting complete strangers in a tricked-out house and waiting for them to start getting "real," he offers people a nice caricature of themselves for $20 or a mean one for free. Says Tim: "People are surprisingly good-natured about it..."
