RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH: BLESSED BLING

Do not trifle with the Church, my son.  Wristwatches are not the only things I can cause to disappear.

If the Russian Orthodox Church had spent a mere fraction of the 30K Euros this watch cost on hiring a better graphics artist, it could have avoided the embarrassment of this scandal by ‘shopping out the reflection of the watch as well as the watch itself!  I like to think everything happens for a reason, and it’s goofs like this which convince me there is indeed a God, and God has a blast exposing this exact kind of hypocrisy.

Thanks Everyone who sent this into us! You can see the original and more of the story on RT

17 Ragazze: Baby Bump Blooper

This woman is so conservative, even her fetus leans to the hard right.

How does such a large baby belly defy gravity so well?  Maybe this film’s location is set on the Moon.  Or perhaps the actress is actually pregnant, and the fetus is simply trying to flee out of camera range to avoid being connected in any way with the project.

Thanks Carlo! View PSD

SHELBY AMERICAN: COBRA STRIKEOUT

This is the normal reaction when a cobra encounters a bad-ass honey badger.  Honey badger don’t give a sh*t!

No way is this sweet Shelby Cobra performing a wheelstand on those street tires.  Note the light showing through the tread of the rear tires, for there would be none if the car were actually digging into the road, not to mention some blur on the wheels of a moving tire.  But the real tell is the front right tire, where the GA was rather sloppy with the edgework, as well as the clone stamp tool used to replace the actual tire with road imagery copied and pasted from, oh, just a few millimeters to the left, as evidenced by the repeating pattern of gravel and failure to color correct.

Thanks for the find Bob. You can see the original on AutoBlog

Bauhaus: Forklimbs

Elke is one of the best workers the garden department has ever seen, not to mention one of the most punctual.  If only she would stop bothering all of the customers about the whereabouts of some ‘Sarah Connor’ woman, she’d be a shoe-in for Employee of the Month.

Before anyone else says it, I’ll state right now that I believe the manipulation of this girl’s arms to resemble the tines of a forklift is completely intentional.  Having said that, how does that excuse the fact that her right hand is bass-ackwards?  Something is fishy in Denmark, and it ain’t the fertilizer.

Thanks Richard. You can see the original in the Bauhaus catalog (page 2). View PSD

Photoshop Round-Up: Links We Love

Here’s a look at the many ways that Photoshop has been making headlines lately.

  • Surprise!  The Kardashians want to sell you something, and they’re using Photoshop to do it.  [Fashionista]
  • Cate Blanchett on the cover of Intelligent Life magazine with zero Photoshop.  Stunning.  [The Gloss]
  • Some of the worst (and weirdest) Photoshop manipulations we’ve ever seen.  [Izismile]
  • Photoshop Trolling is now a thing, and it’s pretty hilarious.  [Photoshop Troll]
Have a great weekend, everyone!  We’ll be back on Monday with more Disasters.

Staudigl Druck: Bogus Bengal

“Trust me on zis,” Siegfried told his partner Roy. “No woman on zeh planet could run very fast in zees boots, und neither will Montecore.”

Here again we have that tried-and-true recipe for failure of mixing 2D with 3D layers.  Add to that the obvious inability of this GA to wrap his/her head around the concept of logical layer stacking order, and voila!  A PSD is born!

Thanks Jerry.

John Kerwin: Unreal Smoothie

There are two sure-fire methods of distinguishing between the Pod People and humans.  The first is that they are simply too perfect; no moles, freckles, birthmarks or body hair whatsoever.  And the second tell?  Bad Canadian haircuts.

It just occurred to me that this model might have copious amounts of tattoo ink on his arms, in which case the overt use of the air brush tool was unavoidable.  It then occurred to me that there are likely plenty of non-tattooed models it might have been more wise to hire for this shoot.  And now it occurs to me that if this guy can get paid to be a model, then why am I not writing paid speeches for Mitt Romney?!

Thanks Micheal. You can see the original on the IMDB site
