The Des(s)ert of the Real

Note to crappy magazines that thrive on negative body image: if you're going to photoshop, get someone who actually has used the program to do your work for you.

Especially when it's the cover of your shit-tacular rag.


I think the obvious forgery is even starker in the miniature. But if you don't see what I mean, check out the cover versus a shot from inside the magazine. This is not something you can get away with, not when it's thisbad. If you want the dirty little secret of "touching up" photos to be kept secret, you would do well to do a better job. I mean at least when it happened to Faith Hill, there was something like her original body being used in the process. America Ferrera's head might be her own plus makeup and lighting effects, but I'd love to know where they got the body from. An old copy of Barbie Fashion Designer perhaps?

I'd get more het up about the statements made when cockhats pull this kind of shit, but really this is so egregiously bad that it's more funny than irritating. That Dove ad? That made me grind my teeth.

people are going to die, feminism
