I've just received email from Mr Anonymous, who works at PowerSox promising that it isn't Photoshopped, that her leg really is like that and that I'm an idiot and I should shut down the blog.
Original is here. Thanks to MS!

This isn't meant to discourage criticism of the site; I like allowing anonymous comments (Voltaire and all that), but there's a particular individual who has made it clear that he wants to spoil the site. Please accept my apologies for the change, which will be temporary.
Not sure what the disaster is in this one?
I especially like the way the arm of the girl at the bottom is blurred in such a way as to make it appear as if the stray leg were grafted onto her tricep.
christine: Check out the black girl's right leg. There's no way that can attach to her hip.
@Christine: From what I see, the middle girl's right leg doesn't line up with where he waist should be. (When I say right leg, I mean the leg we see on the left)
Not photoshopped. The girl on the bottom just has a leg growing out of her armpit and the girl in the middle has only one leg.
Shame on you for picking on the disabled.
@grace:Actually, that leg looks normal to me. It's semi-surgical attachment to the other woman's arm, however, is not.
It appears that they have a magician for a model. She can make her leg separate from her body and then re-attach! Kudos to PowerSox for such an ingenius ploy to fool people into thinking this was photoshopped!
For the record, this site is always something I look forward to every day. :-D
I also enjoy how it looks like all those tiny joggers are running out from the bottom girl's lady parts.
Maybe PowerSox cause you to give birth to half a dozen tiny joggers?
Is it the middle woman, who has a second rear-facing knee behind the bottom woman's head, or is it the top woman, whose femur contradicts almost the first thing anyone is taught about human anatomy, which is that the femur is the longest bone in the body...?
Anonymous comments are for pussies.
Ouch at the leg :/
Why take out the ability to post with your name and url though?? I don't like to associate any of my private aim/livejournal/etc on here.
You guys are all wrong, this isn't photoshopped. This site is going to waste.
The girl you're all talking about belongs to the girl on top, who has a condition called "longleg". The two legs in the middle right belong to the black lady, who's really elastic.
I will never visit this site again. Picking on the disabled AND not allowing people with no life to talk freely... not for me.
So if it isn't photoshopped, can he send you the original photo to post?
I like the ones that keep me looking for the error. I'm not very observant.
Good gracious! It's like they've stuffed a load of random limbs into a cannon and fired them at the screen
The woman in the middle's left leg (the one on our right) gets weirder everytime I look at it!
You will also notice (if you bother to measure facial dimensions of the top and bottom girls) that they are clearly identical twins or clones. Not photoshopped of course =p

The left leg doesn't look too good either. Unless she has a very long lower body that leg is in a strange place.
PS. It's nice to read the comments without the usual vitriol from saddos with nothing better to do.
Good blog!
I can't believe they'd let a girl with a broken leg jump like that ;)

How about forever? Anonymous trolls are utterly worthless.
I knew there was no point in exercising. You might get a wonderful abdomen but you can't stop your legs from detaching themselves from your body and doing their own thang.
The middle girls leg is coming from about her thigh in reality! All they had to do was move it up a hair.
Most definitely a bad job!
But don't the shadows look nice...you can see every one, even the ones you shouldn't be able to!
(Joggers comming from her lady parts...I died!)
Beyond the leg thing, why do PowerSox have to flatten the ball of your feet so much?
@misha-it's because these are actually specialty socks-they're actually made for a niche market of women, who like to wear their socks with high heels.
Rather than giving birth to a volley of little joggers, it's obvious from her hands- and legs-out stance that the woman on the bottom shoots out the attack of little joggers at evildoers. It is simply her superpower. Isn't that why she's endorsing Powersox?
Not a disaster. The top two women only have one leg each, and the bottom leg on the left is growing out of the lower girl's back.
Come on, people! It's simple biology, not Photoshoppery.
Wow, what a nasty split but what I love more is the slap-in-the-face to Mr. Anonymous!
The comments left here make me smile like this:
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Yes, they make me smile so much, I actually have to create more mouths to contain the smiling.
If you shut down this blog I'll cry and run away as fast as my elastic, disjointed legs can carry. me.
Nice one !
In the bottom right of the picture, the black girl is clearly weary two different socks, one black and one white.
shoesonwrong said.."Shame on you for picking on the disabled."
:-)
Ahh, how refreshing ... a post with no angry whiners! I vote keep anonymous comments turned off!
This photo -- er, collage -- is so weird ... what are these women supposed to be doing? They're all tensed up and shouty but they're only wearing socks, so they're probably not running hurdles or whatever one does while tense and shouty. Maybe they're on a trampoline with lava beneath it?
wow. if she was really that flexible, she would certainly have plenty of friends, wouldn't she?
Great find! Also, where is the girl in the middle's left arm? You can see some photoshop artifacts across her stomach, next to the head of the girl on the bottom, probably left over from the arm...
The Duuuuude:
And the white girl just ahead of the two-color-sock black girl appears to have one normal leg with a black sock, and one tiny hovering leg with a white sock.
There is no way that the lower-left leg connects with the middle woman's body. It's not humanly possible without involving a meat cleaver.
The legs in the pack of teeny joggers are all kinds of messed up.
I've heard of people who could dislocate their shoulder before, but a hip? Never!
The top and bottom girl are one in the same: Kahlen Rondot from ANTM Cycle IV. Hair darkened a bit on the top image.
Is the girl in the middle a puffy Tyra?
hmmmm. Not so sure.
Top girl is missing her back right.
Painfully foreshortened. Whole lotta crotch pinching going on.
yeeouch!
PLEASE post the email!
ok... maybe they didn't use Photoshop...maybe they used Gimp, PaintShop Pro, Photo Impact, or Paint.NET instead??? LOL
I also vote to stop anonymous comments. :)
I do enjoy this blog but there are some posts that are pretty tenuous and this is one of them.
haha .. love this one .. mutant models!
Maybe they were trying to appeal to Hindu sensibilities?
Seriously, I was reading your site last night and laughing so hard I don't think I'll need to do ab exercises for a week.
what a hilarious photo those girls look insane!!!!
add my blog please
tell me: why they have to have half-naked ladies for a SOCK advertisement?
Note to PSD: Voltaire never said "I will stand up for your right to say something I disagree with even if you won't". Witty and intelligent comment is fine, anonymous or not, but surely people wishing to indulge in drive-by abuse (and on the internet!) should have to declare themselves...
I know blogs aren't a form of democracy but if there's a vote here to keep anonymity off, I'm for it. Allowing anonymous commenting doesn't seem to add as much good as it does bad.
"Tiny joggers running out of the bottom girl's lady parts" - now that's a quality comment!
These comments are priceless, especially "The joggers are coming out of her lady parts."
I might have a permanent grin now.
Keep anonymous comments off forever, kthx.
Hi.The girl in the middle of the picture called......she would like to have her FRIGGIN'HIP BACK!!
Thanks:)Bye:)
Before comments were fun to read, now they were just being annoying.
If comments open are inviting a lot of teenagers, worst than the forum of imdb and aint it cool, it´s time to change !
Whats the Dot thing on the top girl's (only) ankle?
weird…
Hi i think her leg is broken...hahaha
This is bad, and yet the incompetent Photoshop is overshadowed by the awesomely ham-handed art design. Why has the woman at top been styled to look like Nick Nolte in his famous mug shot? Why does the woman at the bottom appear to be the same person as the one at top? Why does the woman in the middle appear to be lit by a different sun than the other two? Why do they look so bored?
And what brain-dead marketing dork came up with the idea of using T&A to market white women's athletic socks in the first place?
Buahahahahaha!
Love the caption!
mac :]
Even if that leg wasn't photoshopped as Mr. Anonymous tells you... The placement of the arrows in the PowerSox logo is questionable.
This clearly looks photoshopped to me...
I use GIMP, chesswidow. I would never in all my born days create such an abomination. Just looking at it makes me want to go barefoot for the rest of my life...
And good riddance to Mr. Anonymous, I say.
"I've just received email from Mr Anonymous, who works at PowerSox promising that it isn't Photoshopped, that her leg really is like that and that I'm an idiot and I should shut down the blog."
Best commentary ever.
"Just a note to let you know that anonymous comments will be disabled for a while."
Yay!!!!
And you already covered what they would have said anyway! :D
Why get the original pix? Get the original models into the palatial PSD studios and set 'em up on stepladders and scaffolding. Behind those fierce expressions may be some painful triple jointed hip dysplasias (or something like that.)
Yeah!
And we believe in Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland...
First time I ever saw a picture where an adult woman had to have a femur shorter than that of a newborn baby!
Also, one of those two women in the crazy legs area of the pic, must have been born with two left feet! The only girl in the pic who has a right foot is the one at the bottom!
Mr. Idiot from Powersox should indeed stay Anonymous. And we are all rest absolutely sure that he is definitely not the designer of that ad.
I don't get it.
Ugly? Sure.
Poorly designed? OK.
But all he did was cut out 3 jumping pictures and paste them together. That's hardly a disaster. He didn't mess with the models' photos outside of cutting and pasting. I'm not sure what you think you are seeing here.
Are those even the same socks?
Okay, then where's the top one's OTHER leg, Mr. Annonymous?
Perhaps the anonymous emailer could learn to set a proper black point.
Dirt: Count the legs. Count the women. The usual ratio is 2:1. But as usual, PsD is picking on amputees. For shame!
LOVE the lack of anonymous posting. I vote to make it permanent. I know I don't get a vote, but I vote anyway.

You know people, I don't think PSD really received an e-mail from a Mr Anonymous at Powersox...
wow From what I see, the middle girl's right leg doesn't line up with where he waist should be.and thank you for sharing....

As someone who studied kinesiology (study of movement) in dancers - this it totally possible. Looks fine to me.
My son was a kinesthenic learner. Unlike some of the women in the picture, he had 2 legs, though.
if she can actualy oper her legs like that...i undestrand Y they cover her crotch area...it wouldnt be that nice to see...
@ Cari: ''Maybe PowerSox cause you to give birth to half a dozen tiny joggers?''
I just died laughing.
(offtopic)Is this temporary anonymous commets ban going to be lifted? :)
(ontopic) Editor just dont know anything about anatomy when this gets trought as "non shopped".
Not sure what's funnier, her leg, or where those arrows are headed.
And they all came tumbling down
Each and every one
Like a drop of rain
From the sky.
Then she noticed something.
She had melted into the others.
Wait.
What am I saying?
