Daily Fail: Blazing Saddles My Ass

Posted on 30 June by Vernon
You know, I’m just a rather snippy blogger who really doesn’t have a lot of helpful advice for the Photoshoppers of the world, but I’d just like to weigh in here and suggest to Colin Davey and his photo editor that it might be inadvisable to use a comp of sub-Fark quality right next to the original source image. You see, that way you’re kind of rubbing peoples’ noses in it.

Thanks to Richard M! Original (with bonus photo of glowing horse) is here!

Mamma Mia: Neckrophilia

Posted on 27 June by Vernon
Ode To A Photoshop Artist
Oh Mamma Mia Photoshop artist.
I see you working away at your poster.
You are delighted by the sparkling background.
The background is totally top notch.
Lets hope it distracts people from the hack job on her neck.
Perhaps she had a glandular infection.
Or is in the process of swallowing a whole melon.
You know, the way snakes swallow pigs.
There are many possible explanations.

Thanks to Silva!

Time: It’s Abysmalicious!

Posted on 26 June by Vernon
Shock and panic swept the Time newsroom today as senior figures conceded that they had lost the war against abysmal Photoshopping. A Senior Creative Director, speaking on condition of anonymity revealed the awful truth: “Time no longer has any grip on the basic fundamentals of media production. We have people’s babysitters producing graphics for us now.”

Others tried to stem the wave of nausea by insisting that the latest photo-illustration work was “deliberately bad.”

“It’s a style,” claimed one designer, “it’s supposed to be outsidery” she insisted as she struggled to hold back the tears.

Chanel: Deformed Arm Trifecta!

Posted on 25 June by Vernon
Hello, Chanel? All you have to do is put a model in front of the camera with your fricking handbag. How hard can it be? Model, handbag. How can you get that wrong? She looks as though she’s been run over by a truck and glued back together again.

Bigger here, thanks to Eduardo R!

EA: Ronaldin-OW!

Posted on 24 June by Vernon
On the one hand, Electronic Arts is one of the largest media companies in the world with 7900 employees and $4 billion in revenues. The company has a virtual lock on sports franchise games; for FIFA’08 they have a multi-year licensing and marketing deal with FIFA, the world governing body of the most popular sport on the planet.

On the other hand, they aren’t very good at arms.

Thanks to Lucas H! Original here!

Sears: Let’s Have A Big Hand For The Model

Posted on 23 June by Vernon
I have a faint and unnerving sense of dread that there is a model who is famous for heroically persevering in a modeling career despite having a huge hand and I’ve clumsily wandered into a minefield through sheer ignorance, doomed to be the laughing stock of the entire web. Nope, it’s another Photoshop disaster.

Original is here. Thanks to ticklemeamy!
