My home schooled alien can do that
Putting aside any controversy over a $15 million dollar land deal, I think it's a little creepy when a middle-aged guy allows his elderly mother to sit in his lap.
Ever seen a one-armed person clap?
You mean you don't have two hands on your right arm? What are, some kind of human or something?!
AAHHH!! FUCKKkkkFUCKkkkk!!! TWO HANDED RIGHT ARM FREAK !!!
There can't be anything wrong with it, it's a stock photo. Du-uh.
WV: Pingst. Angst you experience when your ping lapses?
Oh all right Mom, if you're twisting my arm...
Perhaps Mr. Tickle is sat to her left (our right)?
cousin it
W/V: taties
I've heard of two left feet but this is just ridiculous.
The homeschooled girlfriend of Ralph Lauren can do that.
I just can't think of any good reason for that second hand to be there!!
That's ok...the creepy self-stalking hand takes away the issues with her strangely presented head.
WV: ringstyp. What certain jewelry does when it hacks your email account.
If it wasn't a PsD, I'd still be creeped out by it.
The dangers of cousin lovin.
On the cropped photo it looks like there's someone in a brown suit sitting behind Lap Mom, most likely the owner of the superfluous hand. Everyone wants to get in on the hugs!
It's Goro's mother!
This is obviously a political item, and in politics people will go to great lengths to scratch one anothers back.
It's very Arrested Development ... Buster and Mother...
David Icke knows of someone who can do that
At first sight I thought it was an unfortunate blending of two images of the same setup.
But the second hand is not hers - it must be the man's own hand! Surely he must be so used to patting his own back by now it must have stuck. Judging from the text this might very well be true!
Interestingly, when I try to do this myself the thumb points downwards. This man must have two right hands then, and it explains very well where the MISSING right hand from the model in the previous pic went. Case solved! Twice!!
This is not a PSD - was I first in explaining how?
Obviously there is someone in a dark greenish outfit on the left of the woman.. he's just reaching out a lot to grab his shoulder..
It's Kali-Ma!
Everyone in the GTA knows Hazel is awesome and has at least 5 arms, 3 are original equipment, and 2 are grafted on from an opponent in the 1970's.
She's been mayor for 31 years, check her wikipedia entry.
Yipes, mutant extra hands.
These two do kind of look like aliens, though. lol
I went ahead and search the original stock photo and it seems worse than we thought. It seems the guy as no legs.

You gotta wonder, why did they need to shop that?
Well, they do make a lovely couple.
From the article: "Toronto lawyer George Rust-D'Eye, an expert in municipal law..."
I would like to see a picture of their lawyer with the rusty eye--shopped or not.
After looking at this image for a while, I believe it is truly as PSD. If you hold your finger over a small version of the image and block out the arm in front, the image still works (the arm is in the correct position for the hand) and confirms that the second hand in back is, in fact, hers. Thus, it appears that two different photos of this same shot are being composited together. I believe the majority of this image is the image with the hand in back. The arm in front is seems to be the pasted element.
comrades. what does this "vw" at the end of some people's posts mean?
Sorry commorancy, you're incorrect, along with all those others who think there is a pasted in element in this image.
It is just a badly cropped image, which is a PSD because they should have cropped out the hand as well.
However it is the hand of a third person who was sitting to the left (our right) of the old lady, and who was reaching all the way across to his right shoulder.
the third person is wearing a dark green plaid jacket. This image has only a exposure adjustment layer added to over expose the image and bring out the detail of the third persons shoulder over the old ladies left shoulder.

its not VW its WV = word verification
this is the creepiest blog I subscribe to.
ZaphodQB,
Sorry, I have to disagree. There may have been someone sitting to her left, but in order for that hand to be in that position, the person's head (to her left) would have to nearly rest on her left shoulder. Otherwise, they would have had to dislocate their shoulder to get it that far over to his right shoulder. The front hand still appears, in fact, composited in. It appears this way because her fingertips appear to be embedded in his jacket and there is no shadow cast on the other hand from her jacket. These issues alone say compositing.
To me, your analysis of a green plaid jacket could just as easily be explained as jpeg artifacting.. which, if you compare closely to other parts of the couch is quite similar to the supposed 'green plaid jacket' theory.
Unless you can find an original uncropped image, I am still leaning towards bad compositing of two separate photos.
I had the ideia that I've already posted this. Here's the link for the original stock image, availaible on the photographer site. (Does the guy on the picture have no legs?)

hahahaha ... it took me a minute to figure out what was wrong with this photo... lol
I must agree with commorancy. The fact that she's was pasted in front of her son -- an odd position that makes it look like she is sitting in his lap -- and she's slightly out of proportion. By all accounts, she should be slightly further away from the camera than her son, but her features look closer and larger.
The bit of corduroy on the right of the image could be the *left* shoulder of someone standing next to the man, pasted over with the the image of the mother.
Either way, it's reprehensible when news photography is manipulated in this way -- unlike glamour photography, where authenticity was always an utter illusion.
I mean REALLY, you have to hand it to the photographer! Quite HANDY!
I think the extra hand is that of a dead person they are trying to hide, who objected to the deal because there was something dodgy about the deal.
The caption said she attended two meetings. Could be that the hand left over from the first meeting was still attached to his back.
Oooooh, hello mysterious stranger in the bathtub! :) :) :)
