This is fake.
Firstly the the TV is angling away from the photographer, but the face is flat i.e. it is parallel to the photographer which indicates it is not in the screen which were curved back in 1990.
Secondly, ff you look at the face you can clearly see the rectangular outline where the face has been pasted in. The black color inside the rectangular box is darker than the rest of the TV screen.
The Photoshop dithering tool has been used to disguise the outline and blend in the dark colors immediately around both sides of the pasted box.
TIP: To the original poster there is a free drawing selection tool in Photoshop which you can use to trace around the outline of the actual face which would have served you much better here.
If you are wanting a job in special effects, don't put this on your resume.
The other black and white image is better, but taken in 1987, not in the 1970's as suggested.

In fact when you compare the face in the two photos, a different face has been used in each shot.
In the far away shot you can see the full face with cheeks, lower jaw and chin.
But in the close up, none of these are visible.
Why would parts of the face change or disappear just because you zoom in and take a closer look at the same photo.
Hoax.

hello everyone. I think I have solved this. To My years of misspent youth, watching TV I owe the credit. When I saw this image I instantly recognized it. It is the image of Mumm_Ra's tomb on the animated TV Show Thundercats. Simply do a google image search of "Mumm-ra's Tomb" and you'll return several toys that looked similar. If you plunk around on youtube, you might actually find some clips from the show that will prove this. I watched that show religiously, and am anxiously awaiting the release of the live action movie in 2010. Trust me on this, I know my Thundercats, and that is definitely Mumm-ra's tomb. It's even the same color scheme.
