Quentin Tarantino: Stands by his values

It looks like this photoshopper meant to give Tarantino a haircut, but he kept snipping past the hip.

Photoshop Disasters

Some people have accused Tarantino of being unbalanced. Fair enough; if this one of his films, Tarantino would have already expelled enough blood to fill a wading pool while dropping enough f-bombs to level a smaller city.

Thanks Ariane. The original was found in Belgium ”Le Soir” newspaper.

Camaïeu: Take a Stand

Sometimes, you can tell a lady is a little off-balance just by looking at her.

Amputee fashion is a niche market that has only recently been tapped by a few other companies. Still, you have to respect that model’s self-assured walk, especially when she doesn’t have much to walk with.

Thanks Chris for the find. You can see the original on the Camaïeu Facebook page.

Rakuten: I Spy a Disaster

The world’s smallest camcorder is roughly the same size as the finger this model doesn’t have.

The world of surveillance and espionage may not be ideal for the geniuses who let the four-fingered spy model their mini-camcorder. Wait – that’s a four-fingered hand with a cut-out of the camcorder, isn’t it? Who goes to the effort of photoshopping two disasters into one?

Thanks Eric. The original was found on Buy.com.

Gladiator Sandals: Stand-in

Just because you can accomplish the something more realistic than a manikin doesn’t mean you should.

Is there a woman in this world who needs a four-inch stiletto with a shin pad? And a fur lining? In this disasters defense, the kind of person (let’s not assume anything about their sex on this one) who finds these things compelling probably doesn’t mind the severed foot surprise.

Thanks Brandy for the great find. The original was found on AllGladiatorSandals.

Who: The how and why

Props to Who magazine for being forward-thinking enough to feature Australian amputee Ricki-Lee on the cover of their Sexiest People edition.

Photoshop Disasters

Shame on Megan Gale for being the only person perturbed by Ricki-Lee’s disability. The inside of the magazine is equally impressive, featuring plenty of other not-quite-right celebrity sex bombs like Donald Trump, Charlie Sheen, and two-thirds of Megan Fox.

Thanks Bridget. You can see the original in the Nov 26th Edition of Who.

Russian Pointe: Missing the Point

This pose is more impressive when you realize the ballerina only has one leg.

Photoshop Disasters

I’m not sure if it’s the single shadow, the dimension-breaking backdrop, or the somewhat questionable nature of this pose, but I think this ad misses the grace and beauty ballet is known for. Also, it looks like the dancer lost her right hand in her tutu. Happens to the best of us.

Thanks Anonymous.

Rotary International: So Close

Jackie Chan has bent a lot of limbs in a lot of directions over his career.

When the disease you’re trying to stop can lead to deformities, you should probably make sure your spokesperson has all their parts in the right place. They were this close to creating an effective ad too.

Thanks Arran for the great find. You can see the original on the Jackie Chan Facebook page.
