Is John Mayer’s Photoshopped Instagram picture a joke?

John Mayer Without Photoshop

With some free time over the holidays, it looks like John Mayer decided to play around with Photoshop. Either that, or he’s getting money from EA Maxis to promote a new Sims game. See what I mean…

So good to see my friend Ricky again. It's been a while.

The only other explanation is that John is joking around — which is a serious possibility, considering the Ricky in the picture with him is Ricky Van Veen, the cofounder of College Humor. He’s also the fiance of Allison Williams, who was recently Photoshopped to near oblivion for the Peter Pan Live! promotional poster, so I can see this being some kind of social commentary.
