Britney Spears: Have Some Crazy Pills

Britney Spears PSD
To be honest, for a week I dismissed this as a hoax or as fan-art. Then it turns out to be real and now I feel all dirty inside.

My horse can do that

matty said...

two right legs is the new two left feet

Dave said...

My sun can do that.

Omnitarian said...

I daresay you have to click through to see the worst. Pink hay? Is that... is that a LENS FLARE? Somebody hold me.

David said...

Britney is 7'6"! Who knew?!

At least we can be sure that no miniature pony really had to be dressed up in pink frills at a racetrack for that picture. That would be cruel

henke said...

I see no detail that is wrong here. All limbs are accounted for (I think I spot the back left leg behind the front right leg) and there is no strange proportions going on either. On the other hand, poor horse that had to wear those clothes.

The Mushroom said...

Makes about as much sense as she does.

VW: cruddert -- yeah, this is.

Thomas Westgard said...

You see nothing wrong? Wow. For a start, try looking at where the center fence rail meets the post.

Maybe the game isn't clear here - first you look carefully, then you comment. It's a fun little puzzle.

OhSheeshGA said...

Is it really THAT hard to go to a farm with Britney Spears and a pony and just pose?

OhSheeshGA said...

To henke, I think you're just so used to crappy overly photoshopped images, that you think this is normal. I remember seeing this over at Dlisted a while ago and all I could think is how someone should send it to PsD.

littleoslo said...

a barbie world??

worst than a fans-art !

goojafrooja said...

henke said...there is [sic] no strange proportions going on...
yeah, no proportion problems, except how they've made her TALLER THAN A @*&$#!^%# HORSE.

henke said...

I didn't say that I found it ok, just that I couldn't pinpoint the issue. It just feels bad without me being able to say that something is bad.
And for the the horse size? Maybe it's a pony? But yeah, that's not likely. It's just hard to see that. Besides, I was talking about meltboy and ms tripple knee.

Ebony McKenna. said...

OK, I have a theory.
They're trying to make Brit look wholesome again, and what could be more wholesome than ponies? Pink Ponies everybody!

Trouble is, I reckon Brit's either allergic or way scared of horseys so they had to go for plan B.

schni said...

Britney who?

Alex said...

The cloned mountain is a nice touch. Also, the other photo with her and the jockey... it's like they WANTED you to notice the empty area in the middle was cloned to hell.

scascot said...

Also, nice job matching the color of the grass under the horse to the color of the grass under the other horse.

Simulated Person said...

it's a bit like Pygmalion.

Plot:
Lets see if we can take a bald mad woman and make her look like a normal person

Outcome:
no

Grubi1 said...

Poor horse
Poor Britney.

I didn't expect any better from the Spears Bitch! D:

Jenna said...

And apparently Britney has webbed fingers. She must be an excellent swimmer!

ivonne said...

OMFG this thing is just so freaking bad I dont know where to start... Yech *vomits*

WV: Corking

pixelbath said...

Wow, you can even see the lasso edge around the horse's head.

Captcha word: luessers (pronounced loo-zerz) pl. n. The guys responsible for this atrocity of an image.

Alissa said...

I think the intention must have been to get Britney some extra attention by making the worst piece of artwork they could. That's the only explanation I can come up with.

Galadriel said...

@Ebony McKenna: There's a strip club in Atlanta called Pink Pony.

Very wholesome.

~ ~ ~

Poor horse in this photo shoot. He just wants to be elsewhere. At least horses are red/green colorblind, so he doesn't know how pink everything was.

Incidentally, folks, that guy's dressed as a polo player, not a jockey.

Hacker Factor said...

Britney is no Paris Hilton, that's for sure. :-)

Give Me a Penny said...

Wow! This was done beautifully!

Evergrey said...

That pony is ashamed. ASHAMED!

Shelley said...

Anyone look at the pink hay one? Her right leg is at least a foot longer than her left. Sweet georgia brown these are terrible.

Lisa said...

This looks like one of those Barbie PC games where you move around objects to make a really totally cool picture. Maybe it was done by a 6 year old girl.

Vera said...

the horse doesn`t look happy.... bad photo...

Isidor said...

I COULD be that someone intentionally tried to create a surrealistic image. Barby Kind of Toys Thrown Out On A Lawn.

Could.

But probably not...

Let's just hope they spent the money they saved on her music instead...

Raffaella Arnaldi said...

I sent this too. So glad it was published - the whole photoshoot is a gold mine :-)

Martin said...

Uh... gimme those pills... must be IT...

Arwen said...

The funny thing is that it is all SO WRONG that the individual shoop errors just fade into the overwhelming weirdness of it all.

It looks like barbie world. But very poorly done. And if they were going to make professional photo of a horse, they could have made the effort of taking a flattering picture. It's not that hard to rustle a plastic bag so the horse looks interested at the camera. Instead of its current OMGWTF? expression.

Hacker Factor said...

I found the source of the images.
http://worldofbritney.com/?p=4327

They come from a Britany fan site and are part of a photoshop contest. They are not officially from Britany and are intentionally photoshopped.

Granted, these are still bad, they are not intentionally misleading from Britany. In fact, Britany mentions them in her blog.

Posted under Blog, Music on July 30, 2009

BritneySpears.com loves how fan sites are coming together to support the 'Radar' single! World of Britney ran a Radar poster and wallpaper contest in honor of the single. Check out their awesome creations."

Now, I have to go bleach my eyes since I actually went through Britany's blog.

photos said...

She must be vampire. She's not casting ANY shadows...

Maaike Hartjes said...

I have seen a lot of Barbie pics with Barbies shopped into real photo's, they look exactly like this.

Josin said...

Its always a good idea to comp in a horse shot indoors with studio lighting into an outdoor scene. Light frequently comes from underneath things when you're outside in a field!

(The shadows from the lighting cast the horse's back in shadow. Unless there's some off-camera DEEP cloud cover that somehow pinpointed JUST that area to cover... this is completely fucked up.)

Also noteworthy:

Who builds a fence with the beams so unevenly spaced from one segment to the next? Homeschooled carpenters?

And why does the fence disappear after it gets to the horse? (It should come out the other side.)

Why is there a tent in the middle of a field? Couldn't we have found a more logical way of getting more pink into the composition?

samrad said...

I think the one with the jockey on the linked site is more of a disaster

Miranda said...

GUH. @_________X BLARGLE

Britney Spears + pepto pink everything = HURRRRRLLLLLLL!

For chrissake, that's just wrong, man. Dear Horse: Please to be trampling Britney. Put an end to this already.

Belle Epoque said...

This photospread is pretty funny, unintentionally funny, that is.

artistpavel said...

What's up with halo above horse head? The double, tipple mountain is fun too.

cattypex said...

Maybe... maybe it's self-consciously bad?

I mean, Candies HAS to know their tacky target market....

The look on that horse's face is PRICELESS.

Anonymous Midwest Girl said...

Hacker, I didn't look closely, but at first glance it looked like the contest was to use these (real) Candie's ads to make a poster or wallpaper. I might be wrong, though.

KevinDC5 said...

Looks like a so-cal donkey show!

Jeff said...

I can't even figure out what's going on in this photo. Usually it's obvious how they actually put it together and what they were trying to do. Everything in this photo looks pasted in. Was she even leaning against that railing or something else? It looks like the top and bottom bars might be real but the middle one isn't. Background definitely pasted in. Horse pasted in. Totally weird all around. They may as well have just green-screened the whole thing.

Passport Foodie said...

I never knew she was so tall. Looking in the trashy magazines I always figured her to be quite squat.

She also has tiny, pink clothed horses. I need to become a world famous singer. I'll add that to my To-Do list.

lisabrodsky1965 said...

@Thomas Westgard: My fence rail can do that.

demxod8 said...

Good detective work there, Hacker Factor. It seems unbelievable to me that Britney still has fans, but if you say so - ok.

jimkeller24 said...

A horse is a horse, of course, of course... *sings*

..that is, of course, unless the horse is the famous pink pony of creepy Britney with the melting knee!

The Big Blue Frog said...

If you look closely, you can see the horse's aura.

Oh, and I love that the area behind the fence is embossed. Way to make a fake shadow, bub. Why go to the trouble of adding a fake shadow if nothing else in the image has a shadow?

screamingmimi90 said...

Shadows be damned! wow.

Bread said...

Since you like Britney, check out my new album called Las lobas! If you'd like to publish it on your site or if you have any comments on the mix, let me know.

pouf pouf said...

The pony doesn't really look happy about it, i think that's the problem

Son of Saddam* said...

THIS IS HILARIOUS.

THE PONY IS HILARIOUS.

EVEN AS CHEESE THIS ARTWORK IS AN ABOMINATION!

gotta love that po-faced pony . .

Al said...

Hacker Factor - the 'original' image is not from the fan site, you can see it on the Candies.com website in all its glory [link]

lisabrodsky1965 said...

@Al: Thanks for the link. Ack!!! M.C. Escher Fence!!!

Hacker Factor said...

@Al

I kind of doubt that Candies is the original image.

http://wojmedia.com/britney/albums/userpics/10006/008.png
The file timestamp is: July 6, 2009 @ 6:26:50pm

http://candies.com/fall_2009_backgrounds/background04.jpg
The file timestamp is: July 6, 2009 @ 6:57:46am

So both sites got it on the same day, 12 hours apart. (Candies did get it first.)

However, background04.jpg contains meta data.
It was last edited: 2009:07:02 15:23:57
Considering the similar timestamps, one person likely created the image, then uploaded it to a bunch of fan sites.

Oh, and unrelated: the halo around the horse's head is where the moon used to be over the mountain. And they did a horrible job filling the sky over Britany. Look for the vertical line near the tip of the tent -- they ran out of background image on the left, so they just added more sky and cloned the mountain.
