MEN’S FITNESS: MARKY MARRED

“The Real Mark Wahlberg”?!  Who knew all those years of aging was actually just caked on layers of ego.

Photoshop Disaster

Not sure this is a PSD.  Rumor has it that Wahlberg has been cast to play the starring role in next year’s sequel to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which follows the story of an over-the-hill porn star who quits his tribute band to take one last shot at playing pro football. But to pay his way to the tryout, he takes a temporary job on a crab boat, where he gets sucked into a time vortex caused by a hundred-year storm and finds himself stranded thousands of years in the future in a world populated by boy bands.  Co-stars Will Ferrell as “Nick Zaius.”

Thanks Martin for the great find! You can see the original in the July/August 2012 edition of Men’s Fitness.

LEVE: BOBBLE-HIDEOUS

Not a PSD. This is the latest trend in stress-relieving “squeeze toys.” If you pop the button on her jeans, her head returns to normal size.

Photoshop disaster

Creepy.  Reminds me of the computer-generated “guests” who people my Roller Coaster Tycoon game.  This one apparently rode the Swinging Inverter Ship one too many times.

Thanks Bruno. The ad is for a retirement savings plan from CGD (Caixa Geral de Depósitos) bank in Portugal.

LAMBORGHINI: RUNAWAY RUSE

While the all-wheel drive and 600 horsepower are attractive features to be sure, the coolest new tech in the Lamborghini Urus SUV is AutoValet®, a computer-activated driverless system which instructs the vehicle to locate and self-park in the closest unregulated street space it can find.

Lamborghini fail

I feel for this GA. Really, I do. They put a lot of effort into adding motion blur to the background layer, as well as the wheels, to create a realistic illusion that this was an actual photo of the car speeding down the road, only to experience that sinking feeling one gets when the plane lifts off the runway just as they remember they left the passport by the front door.

Thanks Kevin. You can see the original on the Jalopnik site.

SHELL : GAS TANKED

I said to ‘take a little off the ears,’ not take the ears off!

head disaster

Ugh! This cutout is so bad it actually looks as if the model is standing behind a cardboard print with a light bulb-shaped hole to put his head into.  He may be saving money on gas, but that’s nothing compared to what he must be spending on steroids.

Thanks Brandon.

SILLY MONKEYS: QUESTIONABLE QUEUE

The new restaurant was a big hit. All of Gary’s Facebook friends showed up to the grand opening.

queue fail

The complete lack of shadows the GA neglected to add to this fabricated queue of “customers” is but one glaring giveaway of this disaster.  What I can’t decide is if each person is a separate layer, or if the entire lineup was lifted.

Thanks Kevin. You can see the original on the Silly Monkeys site.

USA SE: COMFORTING CLAW

Gennady “The Grabber” Voynovitch, the infamous pickpocket, was granted a brief release from prison today to attend the funeral of his sister, Irina, who was laid to rest wearing her mother’s priceless pearl earrings.

Thing

Yes, Thing has made yet another appearance on PSD, probably as the severed hand of a prison guard. For clearly this prisoner did not get released from jail to attend this funeral, and it was only some Borat-type flunkie ordered to make it appear as if Fearless Leader had bestowed an act of kindness upon this poor man. Must be a fixed election on the horizon.

Thanks Kasia. You can see the original on the USA SE site.

LAKE FOREST MBA: MISMANAGED

One of the better-selling novelties at The CNN Store in Atlanta is the “Dana Bash” bobblehead doll.

Paste on head

That girl’s head definitely looks pasted on to me, but then what’s up with the body, as well?  The entire image looks like a screenshot from “Team Fortress 3: Morgan-Stanley Mayhem.”  The ever-popular sniper character has been replaced by this chick: The Forecloser.

Thanks Kathy. You can see the original Lake Forest site.
