Itau: Movistar: Blackboard Blunder

Here we have young Miguel, correctly estimating his maximum odds of ever winning an Olympic medal in boxing.

Yet another GA who seems to have skipped drawing class the week they concentrated on depth perspective.  Either that or this is one of the kid actors from Jurassic Park who somehow got his DNA tangled up with that of a T-Rex.

Thanks Juan. You can see the original on the Itau site.

Metroland: Low Budget Skills

At first, Dabney thought his job at Price Waterhouse as the official Oscar ballot counter was pretty cool. But when he closed his eyes following the first of several grueling 18-hour days of it, he began to think otherwise.

Obviously, Brad’s head was PS’d onto the horse rider because he starred in Moneyball, not War Horse. That doesn’t excuse the bloated and warped Woody head placed hunchback-like on God-knows-whose body. I think the idea here was to place the various layers so they appear to be lusting after Oscar, but even that concept failed since Rooney Mara seems engrossed with the dog from The Artist, and Clooney looks like somebody just caught him surfing Internet porn.

Thanks Sebastien. The original can be found on the Metroland FB page.

GAMA FILHO: Franken-fingers

This gives the term ‘five-finger discount’ a whole new meaning.

So was a thumb finger removed and a little finger inserted or was the thumb stretched to look like a little finger. I’m confused as to what might have happened and the thought that went into this one.

Thanks Mateus for the find. The original came from Enquete in Brazil.

Photoshop Quiz: Vogue Angela Lindvall

Recently we posted the following Vogue spread to our Facebook page asking the question of whether or not Angela’s neck has been stretched. The photo generated so much conversation that we decided to use it for this week’s poll. Vote as to what you think might have happened and write a comment as to an explanation.

Make sure and don’t read the comments before voting!

Play Guitar: Digital Dischord

Until now, no axe master on the planet had dared even attempt playing an Ebmaj7/+9/G, the fabled “Forbidden Chord,” and lived to tell the tale. Dieter would be the first!

What’s all the commotion?  Six strings, six fingers. One for each string.  Makes perfect sense.  What really ticks me off is the insipid placement of the “NOW” text layer in between two mutant fingers, and then some drop shadow to boot!  Noob.
Thanks Fatman (No joke).

Rimmel London: Doctored Deschanel

I don’t know, Antoine.  Just do something with her.  The woman is so damned adorable it’s making me forget I’m gay!

I don’t wanna hear any whining from anybody about this PSD. Zooey Deschanel is on my personal “Pass List.” You know, that fantasy list many of us have of famous people we’d be allowed to sleep with if and when snowballs stop melting in Hell? So suffice it to say, I know me some Zooey, and I know when somebody’s been messing with her. So, whoever did this, I will hunt you down, and you will pay for the evil that you have done here.

Thanks Roberto and Steve for the find. You can read about more about the Rimmel Ad and Zooeys response via Huffington

Woodbridge Wine: Vintage Failure

This Cabernet from the Mondavi family boasts a complex, fruity bouquet and a sassy hint of spice, but must be consumed within just a few hours of uncorking as it tends to flatten rather quickly.

This is just plain stupid.  Everything in this billboard ad is three-dimensional looking except for the bottle and the text.  And what the heck is going on behind the bottle anyway?  Either the sun is going nova or our forces have just changed status to DEFCON ONE.

Thanks Melanie!

New Idea: Oprah’s Least Favorite Thing

Oprah Winfrey turned quite a few heads at last night’s Image Awards, with hair by Umberto, jewelry by Bulgari, and gown by Kuato.

So, this dream disaster is obviously a dead giveaway that the photo’s been doctored, but where?  Mini-hand appears to be just a smaller clone of the original, and certainly no attempt has been made towards slimming that zaftig figure of hers.  Wait a sec… has anyone seen Steadman lately?  Hmm…

Thanks Kelly for the great find. You can find the original in the 2nd of January issue of New Idea Australia.
