Editor: Run this picture!
Art Desk: Right boss, run the picture with some messing around.
Editor: Wot?
Art Desk: You know, mess around with it in Photoshop.
Editor: No. Just run the picture normally.
Art Desk: Right, run the picture normally.
Editor: Thank you.
Art Desk: …after chopping it up into layers and pasting it back together.
Editor: No, don’t do any Photoshop.
Art Desk: Right. Hardly any Photoshop at all.

Microsoft Poland: At Least They Left The Asian Guy In

Posted on 25 August by Vernon
It looks as though you’re localizing some marketing images.

Would you like to:

  • Use the original American images?

  • Hire a local photographer?

  • Clumsily get rid of the black guy?

Yeah, I agree with Kevin, the first thing I noticed was the macbook in a Microsoft ad! that’s hilarious. by Chad

omg, his neck, it’s broken, why is no one calling for help???

I understood Davina McCall to be a British micro-celebrity of the C-list variety. Imagine my surprise when I found that she is too important to actually pose for ads and instead has her head pasted atop abstract collages of body parts. Well done Davina!

Thanks to LS!

Toast Chee: Ants Probably The Least Of Your Problems

On a totally unrelated note, if you’re selling your services as a search engine optimization expert, you probably want to do something more effective than posting links in blog comments, especially on hopeless blogs like this one. I mean, really, do you think that people will see your tragically desperate posts and think, “Wow, I’d really like these people to publicize my site. They must be geniuses.”

Thanks to Ash!
