Posted on 30 May by Vernon
Small hands

Suddenly I’m not that hungry anymore.

Thanks Mavroprova The original was found within a newsletter from Bennigan’s. If you can’t see the PSD, you can check out our red circled image.

Graphic Designer: No problem, there is plenty of them on Dreamstime stock images…

Graphic Designer: Ahh ok… Boss I can do all of that but I can’t find the red head….
Art Director: I do not care! Just do it!

    i dont even know why they photoshopped it i mean is it really that hard to take a picture of a waitress holding a beer and a plate of food.

    • Cristi76

      Apparently is just simpler using a few stock photos and clumsily sticking them together with Photoshop.

    I bet you won’t see her hand anyway, because of how she is holding the tray.

    I think that’s just the muscle on her forearm, and the fact that the angle of the arm is mostly towards the camera. The drink, however, looks oddly out of place.

      it looks like they tried to photoshop a beer in her hand.

      Vernon liked my post because of the subtle mention of one of the advertisers on this site    :P

  • HB

    Also, does her head look way too small for her body?

  • Commie

    The beer is flat.

  • Ja Fa

    this crowd isn’t pleased

    Why in the world do they have to Photoshop every bit of what is advertised? Is a “PS Technician” that much cheaper than a photographer?

  • Jshook

    Don’t drink the yellow beer!!

  • Emily

    Couldn’t they pay a local girl $15 to stand there holding stuff? That doesn’t seem too difficult to me?

  • Tale

    The appetizer in the front right looks like a deep fried whole rat on a bun.

    • Jo_Momma

      You are brilliant.

    • Fugyu

      You can’t get those just anywhere, you know!   Let’s all go again to Bennigans!!

  • Old Geezer

    Not a PSD.  After the tragic accident with the chainsaw, it is good to know that she can still find employment.

    • Waldobaby

      I know a “waitress” with one and a half arms. For their own health, people are required to stay the hell out of her way.

    • Fugyu

      For many years, the college dive Clancy’s in Spartanburg, SC had a waitress missing her hand (it looked amputated.)  She slung the beers just as fast as anyone, one of the best I have known.  I miss Clancy’s – it closed down a few years back after being an institution for as long as I can remember.  At least we have the Nu Way.

  • Lightstriker

    How much would it cost a national chain to pick one of their waitress; pay her extra; pay a local photographer a few hundred and have her hold a variety of food and drinks for one day? Or even with a few different waiter and waitresses? 

  • Circularfile00

    Maybe they did take a perfectly fine picture of a waitress holding a tray of food.  Then they became concerned that people might think that their deep fried appetizers and 40 oz beers were unhealthy.  So they made a few changes - they trimmed the waist of the already trim waitress (look by her right elbow), gave her “biceps,” replaced the tray of greasy appetizers she was holding with one that wasn’t greasy (chopping off her hand in the process), and “lightened” the beer.

    kewl served cardboardcutout beer and hot cardboardcutout snacks…and a redhead ( still dressed ) to please the crowd ( aka the gangbennigan-girl )

    Ha ha™

    no psd. arms sticking out forwards in 2d always look strange. its just the muscle of the underarm.

    • Adlerski

      i concur.

    • I’m false.

      Indeed. The same can be said about completely opaque, 2D glasses of beer.

    really?

  • Tubbo

    Does the term “Crowd Pleasers™” refer to her rack?

    Where is there still a Bennigan’s?!?!?!?!!?

    • Ambrose Carracho

      According to the text at the bottom of the image, it appears there are at least three in Cyprus plus at least one other in Greece: One in Nicosia, one in Limassol, one in Protaras and one in Thessaloniki. In the United States, I know of one at the Berkshire Mall in Lanesboro, Massachusetts, where the management at least has the good sense to hang the dartboard at regulation height. Same frighteningly one-dimensional food, though.

      The Bennigan’s bankruptcy only closed down corporate-owned restaurants. Restaurants owned by franchisees stayed open, although a lot of them probably went under because people assumed they were closed.

    She looks like she was put together by a blind plastic surgeon…
