    I thought you were linking to a Photoshop Phriday at Something Awful.

  2. Warren   17 years ago

    The blender was cool. Three armed Beyonce is pretty amusing too.

  3. SugarFree   17 years ago

    Wait, you mean she only has two arms? There goes my overactive fantasy life. Thanks a lot, Internet.

  4. mediageek   17 years ago

    Jesse-

    You've just made my day and shot any chance I have at getting anything done today.

    Thanks

  5. Reinmoose   17 years ago

    The cereal box was the worst. Absolute worst

  6. sage   17 years ago

    Can this be viewed at work?

  7. pfphoe   17 years ago

    fuck yeahhh

  8. J   17 years ago

    Sage:

    as far as I have seen so far, yes.

  9. Reinmoose   17 years ago

    there's some womanage on some of the later pages. Just as a heads up.

  10. ed   17 years ago

    Worse...women who appear to have been cannibalized.

  11. Jonathan Hohensee   17 years ago

    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.

  12. Dan Rather   17 years ago

    I don't see any problem with those pictures. They all look genuine to me.

  13. Taktix?   17 years ago

    After some extensive, err... research, it appears that Gemma Atkinson chick has a lesbian scene in an upcoming movie...

    Photoshop me, baby!

  14. SugarFree   17 years ago

    Mentally bookmark this for the next time you hear a feminist insist that they have a sense of humor.

  15. Taktix?   17 years ago

    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.

  16. David (not that one)   17 years ago

    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...

  17. Episiarch   17 years ago

    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!

  18. Elemenope   17 years ago

    Is that blog (SWPL) supposed to be funny?

    It's hit or miss. Well, mostly miss.

    Like white people.

  19. Elemenope   17 years ago

    Epi - re:feminist joke

    One 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.

  20. NoStar   17 years ago

    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.

  21. Episiarch   17 years ago

    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.

  22. ed   17 years ago

    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.

  23. Bronwyn   17 years ago

    LMNOP:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
    *wipes tear*

    /pregnant

  24. SugarFree   17 years ago

    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.

  25. Episiarch   17 years ago

    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.

  26. Elemenope   17 years ago

    He hee. 🙂

    Congrats, Bronwyn.

  27. BakedPenguin   17 years ago

    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.

  28. Reinmoose   17 years ago

    Sugarfree -
    Thanks for the feministing link. That poor girl is so conflicted 😉

  29. Warren   17 years ago

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

  30. Bronwyn   17 years ago

    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*

  31. Bronwyn   17 years ago

    (and thanks, LMNOP)

  32. Nervous General Mills Spokesma   17 years ago

    It's an undershirt. Yes. That's it... undershirt.

  33. John McCain   17 years ago

    Solvent my ass. I know a still when I smell it.
