E. LecClerc: Cutting Prices and Products

In North America, we have Target to slash prices. In France, E.LecClerc literally takes a knife to their products.

Photoshop Disaster

I have to check the owner’s manual, but it doesn’t look like the microwave should be floating OR balanced on a blade. Ah, here’s the manual for the microwave.

Micro-ondes? What the hell is that?

Thanks Bruno for the find. The original can be found in catalogue Leclerc.

Alexandra Guarnaschelli: Chopped

Telekinesis is an oft overlooked kitchen technique.

Photoshop Disasters

If she was preparing a corn-based dish, you could expect a clever Children of the Corn reference. Instead, you get to enjoy Guarnaschelli’s glazed expression as she scoops pecans with her mind. Not pictured: kitchen appliances and cutlery singing and dancing as they prepare a dish ala Beauty and the Beast.

Thanks Carlen. The original was found within the November edition of the Food Network magazine.

CHINESE OFFICIALS: HOVER FAIL

Someone needs to translate those Photoshop guidelines for our Chinese friends.

The original was found on the Hangzhou Yuhang government official website who later published the following apology:

May 9th, my company submitted the news manuscript of the “Completion and Transfer of the Green Landscaping Project of Nanhu Beach Park” to the Yuhang District Government Portal Website, along with photographs of technicians on location conducting inspections. Due to unsuitable work processes, there were serious mistakes in the uploaded photograph. With regards to the errors of our work, we deeply express our apologies: We sincerely accept the criticizes of the netizen masses, and wholeheartedly appreciate the concern netizens have given us.

McCALL’S: PHYSICS PHAIL

“I’m a horrible mother!” thought Billy’s mom as she watched her son perform his tricks sans helmet.  Her self-loathing quickly abated, however, when she realized the new spray starch she was trying out was living up to all the hype.

The logic behind the decision to market sewing patterns for children’s wear by having them modeled worn upside-down is beyond me, but then again, what the hell do I know?  Maybe this will start a new trend and we can look forward to watching hot supermodels show off the latest fashions in Milan while performing a trapeze act. (Net not included.)

Thanks Jamie for the find! You can see the original the McCall site.

AB 18.00 Uhr: Head Pin Honey

Newly divorced and alone, Susan was talked into joining the company bowling team.  Her very first strike came when she imagined the woman he’d left her for as the head pin.

Obviously, this is a quick-and-dirty print promo for some ‘happy hour’ event across the pond, so I’m not going to condescend a whole lot about the amateur quality.  I do, however, feel insulted that they expect us to believe that women of this caliber on the hotness scale hang out at bowling alleys which lack the budget required for either quality marketing staff or occasional painting of the pins.

Thanks Michael. The original can be found in a number of bowling alleys in Augsburg, Germany

Battle Royale: Look, Ma, No Hands!

Not a PSD. The guy on the left is just using one of those nifty new Velcro® shotgun belts. They’re all the rage with Tea Party attendees of Presidential campaign speeches. 

I know, I know.  There’s no hand gripping the shotgun.  What I can’t take my eyes off of, though, is what the girl is holding.  Is it just me, or is anyone else imagining Billy Bob Thornton in a lacy skirt?

“I picked up a Kaiser blade that was a-layin’ there by the screen door — some folks calls it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade… French-fried ‘taters with mustard… mm-hm!”

Thanks Michael. You can see a larger version and the original on Amazon.

Tori & Dean: No Weigh, Dude!

Even further proof that Tori Spelling is an idiot because everyone knows that the last thing you should do when your kid starts to show signs of super powers is to put them on frickin’ TV!

Thanks Susan for the great find. Can anyone see any other disasters? I think that I see one or two. If you can’t see the PSD, you can check out our red circle gallery.

Update: A bunch of people are calling no disaster on this one but have a careful look at how the kid could have taken off and where he will land.
