LECLERC: SHADY ‘SHOP SKILLS

The latest thing in patio furniture now offers customers a choice between an innovative ‘shadeless’ umbrella (shown here), and the more traditional shadow-casting version, (no longer in stock).

Never mind the missing umbrella shadow.  What patio set does anyone know of that comes with eight chairs?!  Maybe this photo represents the optional ‘Catholic’ upgrade.  Whatever the case, they should at least include a year’s supply of SBF-60 sunblock, no?

Thanks General Pepper!

DAVID’S BRIDAL: WAIST NOT, WANT NOT

The lastest trend in bridal gowns by Vera Wang combines every bride’s desire to shed those last few pre-wedding pounds with a state-of-the-art sash made of carbon nano-tubes which mimic both the function and results of gastric LAP-BAND®surgery.  Ask your wedding consultant if the WANG-BANDTM is right for you.

This is wrong on multiple levels.  Not only has the GA pinched this poor girl’s waist to cartoonish dimensions, but also failed to even match the original color as shown in the rear angle photo.  Any bride who gets married looking this thin should be climbing into an ambulance instead of a limo upon exiting the ceremony and taken straight to the ER for intravenous feeding.

The original was found by the DailyMail.

LIFETIME: TOO BIG TO FAIL

Upon seeing the unauthorized digital breast reduction, Jennifer Love Hewitt stormed into the Lifetime offices in a rage.

“Who’s responsible for this?! she demanded.
“Um, that would be Neal, the new graphics intern,” answered the receptionist. “Fourth cubicle on the right.  You can’t miss him.  He’s the one with the super-smug expression in the gray sweater vest.”

PSD has a truly international following, so it’s possible there are some folks who are not familiar with Jennifer Love Hewitt and exactly what it is that drives her very successful career, and I believe I speak for most when I say that her acting skills play at best a secondary role in that regard.  So what you see here is not just any normal PSD.  This is a crime not only against Ms. Hewitt, but against breast aficionados the world over.

Thanks Richard. You can see the original on E

HANRO SHAPEWEAR: HIPPY CHICK

Daring?  Bold?  Repulsive?  No matter what your reaction, Erika has set the fashion world abuzz as the heroic vanguard of the neo-centaur look.

Some women have a little ‘junk in the trunk,’ to be sure, but this girl may be legally required to hang a yellow ‘WIDE LOAD’ sign whenever she goes mobile.  The bra section of this dress also demonstrates the amateur-level skills of the GA responsible for this disaster.  For his/her sake, I sincerely hope this model never finds out where that person lives.

Thanks Jost. The original was found in the German magazine “In”.

ARTIST VIEW ENTERTAINMENT: DUFF LIGHT

HILARY DUFF:  Josh Gad?!  I’m the ‘name’ star of this picture.  Why am I not on the poster?
PRODUCER:  Um, you were seven months pregnant when we shot the publicity stills.  It’s a low-budget film.  There’s no money left to Photoshop you in.
HILARY DUFF:  Then I’ll do it.  I designed my own line of clothing.  You think I can’t figure out how to use stupid Photoshop?

I love this.  It looks like Ms. Duff photo-bombed her own movie poster!  And she actually did just give birth to her first child just last month, so the fictional scenario I concocted above may not be all that far from the truth.  In any event, congratulations to Hilary on the birth of her son, but perhaps it’s best to leave the graphics work to the experts.

Thanks Pierre for the great catch. You can see the original on the FilmoFilia site.

MEN’S HEALTH: ZAC EFRON: TRICEP TROUBLE

Somebody’s been abusing his Shake Weight.

Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines!  Is there really any other excuse for allowing such god-awful graphics work to go to print like this?  Where is the quality control, Men’s Health?  You’ve got poor Zac’s arm looking like he’s the lucky survivor of a vicious shark attack!  One wonders if this is simply the result of a stressed-out and rushed GA, or perhaps a GA with some personal issues about Zac.  Hmm….

Thanks Jenny.
