If you have to be pedantile, you could argue that this isn't Photoshop, so it doesn't belong here, or, that it's a fake and it is too well done and still doesn't belong here. Thank goodness no one who reads this blog is a stickler for this sort if thing!
Thanks to Gyüdi!

Wasn't that on fail blog like 200 years ago?
That's hilarious. Who'd of thought of that while laying out the design?!
3rd
Oh boy! I can't wait for my whore to be delivered!
That was on failblog ... and ye, its not a PSD ...
I'm going for "That's not a PSD 'cos it's deliberate".
At least, If I was Mitchell and I wanted my van livery to get noticed, I'd go to some effort to come up with something like that. Props to Mitchell for succeeding!
(And good post - even though all the heads in it belong to the bodies they're perched on.)
I faxed 429-5356 and it didn't work. What's the area code?
Tim, the area code is 02. But I'm gonna guess that's not the only thing you're missing here.
tim maguire, it's a Ford Transit and steering wheel is on the right side. This means it is UK or Australia.

I think the real fail is the overly long and stuffy sounding name.
It's not a PSD in a conventional sense, but it is one in the sense of not mocking up the design, unless this was deliberate.
Hey, my van can do that!
Well doesn't seem even remotely PsD worthy. S'wrong with you.
Thats awesome!
It has fax number... Is it possible to get your whore faxed to you?!
If you look really closely at the parking lines you can see where they photoshopped out the F in "FAIL."

HAHAHAHA!
That's one of the best ones I've seen.
Nicely done!
Passport Foodie
Fail Blog did it first.
The REAL PsD here is photoshopping out the "FAIL." Rather poorly, I might add. Bonus loser points for cropping the picture to eliminate the failblog.org watermark.
WV: sinate
Stealing from other blogs is a sinate it?
This van was clearly homeschooled.
"provedores" is not a word, as long as I and my dictionaries know. However, the Spanish "proveedores" (providers) looks suspiciously similar and convinient. So I'm for the fake.
Who cares if it's a PSD or not - its fuckin' hilarious and worthy of mention on that strength alone!
This blog IS the fail, epic, and going straight to hell this blog is. surely better not to update for a dat than run 5th-rate joke-work like this?
or at least you'd think so.
TopGear in the UK have also been doing this for years.

What on earth does this have to do with photoshop disasters? It's either bad sign design, or a joke someone made in photoshop. It's in no way bad photoshopping.
If you haven't got anything to post, don't post, guys. Posting unrelated crap just loses readers.
What's a provedore supposed to be, in english?
I'd find a pun funnier if they use real words.
maybe my english sucks.
Anyway, it's quite vintage.
@Benny
I agree this is old and no funny shit, and not a PSD but do you actually READ the entries?

additional - i'm leaving a second comment today in order to make it completely clear that THIS BLOG IS SEVERELY IN DANGER OF 'JUMPING THE SHARK' i.e being way-out washed up mixed with EPIC FAIL attributes. sort it out!
Yeah.
Gimme some REAL PSD fails. Or skip the day's "Disaster". FailBlog is there, we know that. This is different. Why do I bother checking this blog every day??
I still love you, if that matters.
I think Mitchell opened up a franchise in Las Vegas...
VW: magis -- who also delivered.
Seen this type of thing in probably 50 different versions in at least a dozen different languages.
It's not a lay-out fail (nor a PsD as indicated), but it's a marketing trick, also as indicated.
And it's as old as the road to Rome.
You snarky bastards take the fun out everything........I hate reading your comments.....Start your own damn PSD blog you lazy, loud mouthed morons.
"'provedores' is not a word, as long as I and my dictionaries know."
I think it's Portuguese (and, yes, clearly relates to sp. proveedore, eng. to provide, it. provveditore, ... all stemming from lat. providere).
For those who say that provedore is not a word: Try an unabridged dictionary, people, not the one you used for your high school term papers. It is definitely a word in the English language. It's a shorter form of proveditor, and a synonym of purveyor.
hey jeff!
. . . you won't get far defending a lame duck :)
Well I think it's freakin hilarious! It may not be a *photoshop* disaster, but it's still a disaster! XD omg it makes you want to redecorate the van a bit...with naughty things!
And no, my car can't do that. :P
@Nuri-
"provedores" is not a word, as long as I and my dictionaries know.
From the Oxford English Dictionary:
provedore, n.
1. A chief officer; a commander, governor, overseer; Now chiefly hist.
2. A purveyor, caterer, steward
3. A place where provisions are kept; a storehouse, larder.
Still believe he chose it deliberately - you know, as in the hilarious aerial fitters with signs saying "Satisfaction guaranteed with every erection"?
Pedantile? Don't you mean pedantic?
Search Google for "mitchell's wholesale provedores" and you'll see it's a real company in Australia.
Ah, what would a day without whiny bitches complaining about the quality of their absolutely free entertainment? ... Oh, wait -- that would be a wonderful day.
I have an idea ... it's sort of revolutionary, but see if you can imagine it ... if you think the blog sucks so bad, GO AWAY AND DON'T COME BACK. Or make your own, oh-so-much-better one. Do it. Do it now.
None of us would be pendantile enough to point out that the word should be pendantic would we?
Dearsweetbriar, you beat me to it.
@ Son of Sadddam
Thanks for explaining the term "jumping the shark". I've never heard that phrase before. Really.
I have no idea why I've included an extra n in both pedantile and pedantic in my previous comment.

Jesus, subtlety really is lost on some people...
he's on australian white pages...so it's real! love it!

All you have to do is type DEFINE PROVEDORES in wolfram or gooooogle and it'll verify the word.
"You snarky bastards take the fun out everything........I hate reading your comments.....Start your own damn PSD blog you lazy, loud mouthed morons."
Isn't that why you come 'round dis ol' place anyhow, Hun? If you feel empowered to be nasty to the artiste, then you should also feel free to be nasty to the Head Nasty. Remember, (s)he may not get out much...
Haha! That's hilarious! Thanks for posting it.
I really don't get why people get bent out of shape over whether they feel a post is appropriate for this blog or not. Last time I checked it was your blog, not theirs.
Thanks for the entertainment!
Benny does this mean that Photoshop Disasters will lose you as a reader?
That would be a cruel blow indeed.
But the company does exist: http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/li/mitchell-s-wholesale-provedores--lake-illawarra-nsw-N07W.html
So... I´m a pedantile, arrogant or anything else but IT IS NOT A PHOTOSHOP DISASTER AT ALL!
Love the blog, but I'm pretty sure the word "pedantile" doesn't exist.
I remember seeing this with another photo a while back, when it's closed it says something else. It's not photoshopped, it was real :)
Man, I love Mad magazine. :)
Yes in fact. It was on failblog like 200 years ago.
this isn't photoshop, so it doesn't belong here. or maybe it is but its well done so it still doesn't belong here.
lol!!!
Why are there eight numbers for the phone number and not seven (or ten for that matter)?
@Teresa:
Couldn't agree more.
This is a blog. It's something an individual does for fun. It's not something provided by a corporation, a service you are paying for, or an informative outlet from the government that your taxes pay for...
So why the F$%@ do you care if a post is or is not really a PsD?
Also, it's not your blog. I think it's the blog owners' right to decide what does or does not belong on their blog, which is why they review submissions rather than leaving the format open so anyone can post anything they like.
All that aside, I am personally inclined to believe the owner of this blog is in fact a giant troll, and a brilliant one at that, who does things like post horribly inaccurate translations and non-PsD submissions solely for the purpose of annoying readers who are too dense to realize they're being trolled.
This theory is also supported by the fact that comment moderation is turned on... therefore the author is reading and proceeding to post every sad, moronic, humorless comment, and is probably delighted by every one.
And I totally respect that.
In fact, that's why I love you.
Marry me?
Maybe it does not really belong, but it is the only one that made me laugh.
