30 ROCK: ALLEGEDLY ALEC

Posted on 2 May by Vernon
Baldwin’s character on 30ROCK is indeed hilarious, but still lacks the depth and dimension of his earlier roles in films such as The Shadow and The Edge.

For the record, I think Tina Fey is just as shopped into this background as is our friend Alec, but it’s the lack of color correction on Alec that gives this disaster away.  But what I love most about this one is the irony of such obvious layering work all in the name of promoting a “Special LIVE Episode” of the show.  Sweet!

Thanks Morten. You can see the original on the 30 Rock Facebook page.

THE SHOE BOX: SNUG FIT

Posted on 1 May by Vernon
I know it’s only been a couple of months since I bought Ashlee new sneakers, but she keeps growing out of them.

I’m confused.  Is this store trying to market gigantic shoe-shaped sleeping bags, or perhaps alternative bedding for hobbit children?  Either way, I’m guessing they won’t let you purchase just the one.  Figures.

Thanks Angie. The original was found in a local newspaper (Madison, WI).

TORCIANO WINERY: TRIPPY TOAST

Posted on 30 April by Vernon
I don’t know why I feel so tipsy.  I’ve only had a single glass.

Not sure why the only things that are in focus in this image are the girl and the bicycle, but I’m getting a migraine the longer I look at it.  Gonna go out on a limb here and assume that whatever this wine is, the price is the same whether bought by the bottle or by the glass.

Thanks Fay! You can see the original on the Torciano site.

Photoshop Round-Up: Links We Love

Posted on 29 April by Vernon
We had an eventful couple of weeks here at Photoshop Disasters, spotting everything from giant smartphones to a chicken-legged Jessica Simpson.  We even had another Thing sighting, which always makes our day!  Now it’s time to turn our attention to the many ways in which our beloved Photoshop has been making headlines ’round the web.  Have a great weekend.

  • Model Coco Rocha slams Brazilian Elle for Photoshopping her to look nearly nude. [NYDailyNews]
  • A compilation of amazing digitized and Photoshopped Fembots, created by digital maestro Michael Oswalds. [BuzzFeed]  
  • 18 Images You Won’t Believe Aren’t Photoshopped. [Cracked]

  • People Magazine’s “Most Beautiful People” issue has a special section featuring stars without make-up or Photoshop.  We think Zooey Deschanel still looks pretty good here.  What do you think?  [BuzzFeed]

  • Is this model a real-life Barbie doll, or is it a Photoshop hoax?  You decide.  [Styleite]

That’s it for this week’s round-up!  We’ll be back on Monday with more disasters.  In the meantime, don’t forget to join us for daily entertainment on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+!

Vaseline: Finger Fumble

Posted on 27 April by Vernon
Darnell’s gullibility was his worst enemy, most recently landing him in the arena leagues for believing his teammate’s ruse that skin lotion doubled as a superior gripping agent.

Is that a thumb or an index finger?  Because if it’s a thumb, then that’s a stump where his ring finger should be.  And if it’s an index finger, then he’s growing a mutant finger bud.  One thing is for certain, and that is that no way in hell is this guy in the same room with that football!

I’m looking forward to reading the comments on this PSD. View PSD

Der Marathon Mann: Faulty Footwork

Posted on 26 April by Vernon
Commerzbank CEO Martin Blessing pauses his discussion of the weakening Euro to answer a question regarding his recent bungee jumping mishap.

This is no German banker. This is Sideshow Bob come to life! Either that, or somebody planted his Testonis a smidge too close to a moving steamroller. If you work for this guy, don’t cross him, or he’ll be sure to give you Das Boot!

Thanks Jona. The original was found in the German newspaper “Berliner Tagesspiegel” and features the chairman of the Commerzbank. View PSD

Daily Mail: iPhony

Posted on 25 April by Vernon
I don’t wanna play Peek-a-boo.  I wanna play Angry Birds!

Either somebody came up with an app that turns the iPhone into a holographic baby monitor, or somebody requires some remedial training in relative scale.  And while it’s quite possible that either a miniature infant or a jumbo smartphone was the intent of this graphic, the execution of the cut-and-paste job is the actual disaster here.  I believe the word is “sloppy.”

Thanks Lorzzzzz.  You can see the original on the DailyMail site.
