Noticed a deal for this on Google and I'm seriously considering it. Even with the deal the price is a little steep for decent sized canvas, but it looks so damn cool.

My first thought was someone trying to build a DNA database. Not saying that's what they're doing, just my first reaction.

Yes a great idea.
Maybe a little on the expensive side but they could be still testing the market for what they will pay?
Perhaps if you wait the price maygo down a little but I'm betting it will find a good market at that price and it won't fall

I'd probably grab one of those Ancestry Portraits™

I could do the same thing except my only expense would be a cotton swab. I'd just take random DNA sequences and print them out. profit!

So, is this the hipster way of commissioning a giant looming portrait of one's self and hanging it over the mantle as a gateway to a long soliloquy introducing one's great exploits in life? If so, I shall order one for my estate at once!

Yea I was worried about that too. According to the FAQ they have a strict set of policies in place to keep you safe and destroy your sample directly after the print is made.

But if you have nothing to hide there's no problem, right?
RIGHT?

k Google is getting straight up creepy now

lol @ ppl only now getting wise to info harvesting.
