Maybelline: Wallop of a Dollop

Following some quality “alone time,” Rachel came to realize there are worse mutations to deal with than palm flesh comprised of erectile tissue.

I think this is supposed to be a dollop of makeup cream and not one of those new hairless breeds of Tribble that are currently trending on Rigel 7.  Personally, I believe a bit more contrast would make this graphic look less weird, and a lot less cream would end our nightmares regarding what manner of monstrosity she’s attempting to conceal!

Thanks Tom! The original was found in a boots store in the UK. 

Nouvelles Frontieres: Fin-tastic Failure

Marie’s courage in returning to the water following the shark attack that took her right foot was inspiring to say the least.  Nobody had the heart to mention she could now only swim in circles.

Could there possibly be a ‘sleeper’ right foot hiding behind her left calf?  I suppose.  But that still doesn’t explain the missing flipper, does it.  Not to mention the iffy perspective shift between underwater and surface views which make her appear to be swimming in a freeform pool at the Sheraton Atlantis.

Thanks Olivier for the photo and sending it to us. The original was found on the French metro.  You can see the larger image below.

Birchog & Baago: Where To Begin?

Aw, mom, no fair!  Sally always gets to be the one to place the star atop the Christmas tree!

I just hope this woman gets some sort of discount on her waxing!

Thanks Hege for the great find. You can see the original on the Birchog website.

Sharper Image: Ghost in the Machine

So in love was Todd with his own handsomeness, he didn’t mind in the least having to stand twice as far back from mirrors in order to see the entirety of his grotesquely swelled head.

Here’s a pure CGI image which fails on several levels, from the too-large reflected image of a missing man, to the too-small shower head, to the questionable reflection of the area where the razor hangs.  I also love how nothing in this image is the least bit wet!  What, is this the only mirror in the entire bathroom?

Great catch Mark! You can see this on the Sharper Image website.

Jackson Sun: Photo Bombastic

Sensitive to recent criticism that their group was neither family friendly nor racially diverse, the People’s Militia of Flathead County found Photoshop to be a godsend in alleviating their public relations nightmare.

It’s pretty clear the dad with two kids is a cut-and-paste job.  I personally think the black gentleman on the left was also a last-minute addition.  The reason they were added in to the original group is anyone’s guess.  I almost let the shovels inspire my imagination towards more nefarious speculations, but I’ll leave that angle for others to play with.

Thanks Bradley. You can see the original on the Jackson Sun website.

Stockholm Boat Show: Skills Overboard!

Lars Nilsson loved his new cabin cruiser, bought for a song from the mysterious stranger with the hideous scar tissue on his forehead.  The cloaking device was just icing on the cake.

Layer off, layer on!  Heh-heh… this looks funny!  Layer off, layer on!  Ha-ha-ha!  Layer off—what?  Ten minutes ago?  Hold on… There.  Saved, exported, and e-mailed to the publisher.  Happy?

Thanks Kitty!  This picture came from a bank with an offer to enter a competition in which you could win tickets for the Stockholm international (stealth?!) boat show.
