All my life, I’ve been told that oats do a body good – which seems to be true for every part except the torso.

Oats: the ideal beach snack. When you strike an impossible pose with hulk-hands and a disembodied head, fibre should be the last thing on your mind.

Thanks James for sending this into us.

Hey, everyone, look at three-eyes! Good thing the trials of growing up are so easy.

I wonder if her third-eye can see through the shade of reality and clue us in to just what the people behind her school photo were thinking. My money’s on “not much.”

Thanks Marcelo. You can see the article on Globo.

Eastern European pop star Bajram Gigolli was the first choice to star in 1990’s Ghost.

When you have a leather-faced and balding singer to Photoshop onto your club’s advertisement, your priority probably shouldn’t be feathering the edges of his cut-out. Or adding a dozen fonts.  Or…  or anyone number of things on this poster.

Here’s a challenge, readers: What was done right with this poster?

Thanks Julia. You can see the original on Exmatrikulationsamt.

John from accounting can be a real cut-up sometimes.

You have to appreciate that two cut-outs have the tedious care of a (non-flush) brick background in addition to lacking a torso. The pair of poorly-lit heads near the grass don’t get the same care. They even used a photo where one of them has their eyes closed.

Thanks Etienne and Anonymous. The original can be found here and is for the  local elections in Liege, Belgium.

Time to pause and look back at some of the worst disasters of the year that had celebrities losing limbs, models who were more mutant like and animals that often ended up feeling the full wrath of the art department.

Thanks everyone for your submissions over the last year and we wish everyone a Happy New Year!

1. Victoria’s Secret: With or Without it?

One arm is definitely better than none!

2. Totsy Baltex: Somebody Stop The Screaming

They say the best way for women to fend off attackers is with her elbows, I don’t think this model has anything to ever worry about.

3. Beachmall: Full Face Transplant

The models for Beachmall are so stunningly beautiful that they have watermarked the images (repeatedly) so that no-one will steal them.

4. Jennifer Aniston: Anistorted Yogalosophy

Not a PSD.  Jennifer has been cast in the next X-Men film as “Spanx Doll,” an aging-but-still-attractive mutant with the inherent ability to move excess fat tissue to any other part of her body at will.

5. Industry Week: Smiling is my favorite exercise

This reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when Violet blows up into a giant blueberry after consuming an experimental piece of chewing gum.

6. Pop Up Pet Crates: Doggone!

A half pet is better than no pet at all… no wait!

7. Keith Urban: Loving Parts of You

Don’t go, don’t go
Just leave your arm behind
For me to snuggle
While I’m without you
And I will never surrender – your arm…

8. Two and a Half Men: Gone But Not Forgotten

Charlie has not gone – that’s him drunk on the floor pointing up at his replacement…

9. HTC Windows Phone: Business Casualty

Hey, Princess, check this out – watch what happens to Daddy’s hand when I stick my arm outside the airlock!

10. Golden Acrylics: Shopping Crimes

Stock image – $2.50
PS “artist” – $10.00
Branding impression of a lifetime – Priceless!
