SEARS: COLOSSAL COUGAR

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if The Hulk married Candice Bergen, well…

Massive Cougar

If anyone still doubts that these two models are separate layers which the GA neglected to scale appropriately, then just check out the enormous sun hat and tell me you can’t put two full heads of bikini girl inside the headband.

Thanks Sarah. The original was found in Sears.

PLUM DISTRICT: FLAT-N-CRAPPY

What better way to teach kids Photoshop than by using it to create such a disastrous result?

Family Fail

Zoom in on the edges of the “dad’s” ears and the kids’ heads.  I think the culprit GA became hypnotized by seeing the word “flatten” too long while working on this, and went and selected Flatten Layers way before it was ready.  I mean, look at the dad’s eyes. He’s like a human Hypno Toad.  I just looked for a few seconds, and already want to flatten him.

Thanks Kelly. You can see the original on the Plum District site.

HAUNTED RESTAURANT: PHANTOM PHAIL

The Kamppinen family of West Helsinki lost their lives in a tragic herring boat accident last week.  It is rumored they currently haunt their favorite restaurant while awaiting a Finnish translation of The Handbook for the Recently Deceased.

Family Fail

Transparency and feathering? That’s overkill on the same level as wearing both a belt and suspenders.  As PSD’s go, this one is rather insubstantial.

Thanks Emilia.

NEIMAN MARCUS: SPOKES MODEL

Larissa was very excited to be cast in the lastest Star Trek film. Here she is posing between takes as “Ensign Petrova,” the hapless victim of a transporter malfunction.

Bike Fail

Forget the obvious clues of the missing hand and missing rear half of the bicycle. The real tell that this is fake is her shoes. No woman in the world would ever ride a bike in those high heels! Dummies.

Thanks Jonathan. You can find the original on the Neiman Marcus.

BURGER KING: LAME LENO

TMZ recently captured late night star Jay Leno at a local watering hole enjoying his favorite cocktail — “Tears of Conan.”

Jay Leno Burger King

This photo of Jay is easily found with a simple search. The beverage, (I refuse to call it a milkshake because no fast food chain serves shakes in a clear glass absent the company logo dominating the outer surface area), is plainly shopped into his actually empty hands. But why did the GA shop out Jay’s American flag lapel pin? I mean, what’s more American than pimping your public image for corporate profits!

Thanks Mike. Can you find any other disasters?View PSD

We have had a busy couple of weeks here at PsD Headquarters.  We had so many good (awful) images to choose from, it was almost impossible to pick our favorites!  Just this week, we  featured everything from extra hands and levitating people, to a body-less torso, and we’re just getting warmed up.  Now that the week is winding down, let’s take a look at some other sites that have featured crazy, funny, amazing, and disastrous works of photography and Photoshop.  We love these links, and hope you will, too!
