MARCA: Thumbody Blew It

It’s like a dental implant, so you can just snap on all sort of cool attachments.  I have this one, along with the “extra petite” size that I use for texting.  Unfortunately, they only come in three basic shades:  African-American, Latino, and Conan O’Brien.

Thanks Toni. You can see the original on the Marca website. If you can’t see the PSD, you can see our marked up version in our gallery.

Durex: Flagrant Faux Paw

Oksana could not believe how wonderful her life was turning out; that a freaky girl from Chernobyl would grow up to be a gold-medal swimmer, and on the same day meet the man of her dreams, a world-champion high jumper from Fukushima… it was just too good to be true!

Thanks Luke for taking the time out to send this into us. The original was actually an advert for Durex and you can see a semi normal version on twicsy.

Bienvenue Á Bord: Two Fingered Salute

Ironically it was the French cutting two fingers off an English longbowman in 1415 that gave rise to the popular English gesture of defiance. Now perhaps a British graphic artist has their revenge on the French? Non?

Thanks Audrey for the great find. You can see the original on the cinemotions site. If you can’t see the PSD, you can check out our red circled image.
