The Image Lies
Friday fun link: Photoshop disasters.
Comments to "The Image Lies":
I thought you were linking to a Photoshop Phriday at Something Awful.
The blender was cool. Three armed Beyonce is pretty amusing too.
Wait, you mean she only has two arms? There goes my overactive fantasy life. Thanks a lot, Internet.

This is obviously a sysemtetic incredulity in which a hyperreality is created in which bla bla bla postmodern doublespeak for "sometimes people misrepresent shit" bla bla bla meta narrative.Dan Rather | April 11, 2008, 11:24am | #
I don't see any problem with those pictures. They all look genuine to me.Taktix® | April 11, 2008, 11:25am | #

The photoshop site is pretty good, but seems to be nit picky on some of them. I mean, some of those were out of proportion or more like graphics than others.While funny, this blog strikes me as a place for art students to post after they just failed a 2-week project for drawing a red circle with a pen and calling it art.

Re: the feministing page pointing to "Stuff White People Like"...Is that blog (SWPL) supposed to be funny? Really? Ironic in a post-hipster sense? I just don't get it...

Mentally bookmark this for the next time you hear a feminist insist that they have a sense of humor.Q: How many feminists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: That's not funny!

Is that blog (SWPL) supposed to be funny?It's hit or miss. Well, mostly miss.
Like white people.

Epi - re:feminist jokeOne of my all time favs!
There's also the classic:
What's the difference between a lightbulb and a pregnant woman?
You can unscrew the lightbulb.

RE: the blender photo.The woman's right forearm is coming up at such an angle that her upper arm would have to extend down to her hips.
With an arm like that, she could throw a mean fastball. Of course, that's how she got the job pitching blenders.
NutraSweet, have you ever gone to feministing and started posting crazy shit like the "what do you say to a woman with two black eyes" joke or equivalent offensiveness? That would be hilarious.

Is that blog supposed to be funny? Ironic in a post-hipster sense? I just don't get it...It's like 99% of all the others, then.

Epi,I never post on blogs I have fundamental differences with. Unlike our fucking trolls, I have a sense of etiquette. I'm not above laughing at them, but it's their sandbox and I'm not going to shit in it.
You are a gentleman, NutraSweet. I am not, but it's too much effort for me to go shit in their sandbox. But it must be a blast to stir up that hornet's nest.

As someone who has created some Photoshop abominations in my time, all I can say is that I wish I was getting paid for it.Reinmoose | April 11, 2008, 12:31pm | #
Sugarfree -Thanks for the feministing link. That poor girl is so conflicted ;)

The cereal box was the worst. Absolute worstYou think so? Genteral Mills doesn't seem to.

In that link, Warren, her tummy looks orange.*squints*
What, did they decide a fish-white belly on a dark-skinned woman was best fixed with an orange wash?
*squints some more*
