I can’t figure out what’s worse, the watermark or the actual game itself?  By Anonymous

The big question… why is a game for babies rated ages 3+?

Diane “Scarecrow” Keaton

Posted on 10 March by SiteOwner
Designer: We don’t have a full shot of Diane Keaton?
Art Director: Don’t worry! She old!
Designer: So I can just make any bizarre body shape and it will be OK?
Art Director: Who care! She old!
Designer: Look! Her head is like 200% too big! And where is her waist?
Art Director: Hello? Are you still working on that?

Heartbreakers: Art breakers

Posted on 7 March by SiteOwner
Looks like someone isn’t very good at hands! Or heads!

Edit: For those of you who like less terseness, here’s the blow-by-blow!

  1. Surely statuesque Sigourney would have a head on top of her neck, rather than next to it.
  2. Ewww! Web hands!
  3. This is just awful. It’s as if the designer, exhausted from airbrushing the fake arm in had no idea how to end it and just gave up.
  4. What’s with the huge hand?

I would have put in #5 Sigourney’s blurred-out shoulder, but the
other blunders kind of crowded it out.

Sorry for the small size; this
is the largest image I could find.

Maxim: Crack Is Wack

Posted on 5 March by SiteOwner
OK, this is a little old (2003), but still quite stunning. Either Michelle Branch has no butt crack, or someone decided that this would pass muster. I mean, it isn’t as if Maxim readers would have any particular interest in that part of her anatomy, is it?

Edit: For the sake of the unbelievers, it turns out that that issue of Maxim uses the same image inside the magazine, without the crackectomy.
