CHINESE OFFICIALS: HOVER FAIL

Posted by Vernon on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 |

Someone needs to translate those Photoshop guidelines for our Chinese friends.

The original was found on the Hangzhou Yuhang government official website who later published the following apology:

May 9th, my company submitted the news manuscript of the “Completion and Transfer of the Green Landscaping Project of Nanhu Beach Park” to the Yuhang District Government Portal Website, along with photographs of technicians on location conducting inspections. Due to unsuitable work processes, there were serious mistakes in the uploaded photograph. With regards to the errors of our work, we deeply express our apologies: We sincerely accept the criticizes of the netizen masses, and wholeheartedly appreciate the concern netizens have given us.

BREASTFEEDING HURTS: TITANIC TOT

I am telling you, this baby is so hungry, even PICTURES of it can’t stop eating!

Is this a breastfeeding PSA or a new Olympic event – the one-arm baby curl? Her bicep has got to be majorly toned because that kid is HUGE! Weird.

Thanks Leon.

DIPIU: BOGUS BAMBINO

Mama mia, that’sa one huge, ugly bambino, eh! I think I cutta him outta, and putta inna smaller, prettier one, no?

What do you think, folks? The upper half of this baby looks like it’s actually there, but the right hand of the guy looks like he’s cradling something much larger than this kid. I say PSD because of that. Anyone know who the old guy is?

Thanks Veronica for the find.

Volkswagen shows it can think outside the box when it comes to reinventing the electric car! (Requires 4 AA batteries. Not included.)

Thanks Thomas. You can see the original on the BT.dk site.

MECCANO RIP-OFF: CLOUDY CLAWS

Posted by Scooter on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 |

Five-year-old Nikita strikes a prophetic pose, as he would later grow up to become chief designer of the popular Lada sedan by AutoVAZ.

The way the GA has butchered this child’s appendages, it appears as if he could not produce enough torque to tighten even a single nut or machine screw on that truck he’s cradling, causing us to suggest his next project ought to be an exo-skeleton to help him lift spoonfuls of Kapitan Krunch up to his mouth.

Thanks Bob. The original came from the corner of a box of cheap generic clone of Meccano from Chin.

OASIS: SOLE SURVIVOR

The bad news is that not only does Gabby have just a single right leg, but also a single left foot. The good news is she qualifies for a 50% discount at nearly every pedicure salon in town.

Yet another one of these fashion shots where you can’t help but wonder what is going on underneath that dress! Because it doesn’t seem to be an optical illusion, and yet I would not be surprised if she lifted up that hem to reveal Penn & Teller and a crapload of mirrors skillfully placed to throw us all off track.

Thanks Markus. You can see the original on the Oasis site.

TEATRO BEBEDOURO: PARTIAL POSTER

Posted by Scooter on Monday, May 14, 2012 |

When America’s Got Talent announced Howard Stern was to be the new judge, Pitty added an original twist to her standard “disappearing assistant” trick.

Obviously, the only available photo of Gustavo for the GA to work with was his high school yearbook pic. The decision to force that pic into this layout instead of simply eliminating Gustavo from the layout explains why there are always enough zebra lingering too long at the watering hole for the lions to target.

Thanks Vinícius. This is an advertising piece for a stage play being presented in a small town called Bebedour.

ROZMOWKI: LASSO LEMON

Olenka’s first gig as a fashion model in Warsaw was nowhere near as glamorous as she’d imagined it would be.

Why does a translation dictionary need a photo on the cover? Who does that?! Well, whoever you are, I’m betting that’s your girlfriend, so I hope the reward she gave you for making her “famous” was worth all the ridicule we’re giving you now.

Thanks Erin for the great find.
