Essure: Not so sure…

A photoshop involving a bunch of naked children  - wait, let me finish!

Photoshop Disasters

That many kids and you can still afford a bathroom with elegant taps, stone walls, and a three-foot deep sink basin? Granted, if there’s a time to use Photoshop, it’s to avoid a photo shoot involving a half-dozen soap-covered children in the bathroom.

Thanks Andrew. You can see the original on the Essure site.

Fleni: Big Hands and Big Brains

The key to making a smartphone seem sleeker is to hire the hand model with a thumb bigger than his forearm.

Photoshop Disasters

Some people who are addicted to their phones would kill to have the manoeuvrability that dire digit would allow on a touch screen. Other, more sensible people would seek the help of a doctor as soon as possible.

Thanks Basile. the original was found in a train station in Argentina.

ZooPlus: SureFlap: Yeah, sure…

I’m struggling to make a clever joke about this flap that isn’t an inappropriate innuendo.

Photoshop Disasters

In this disaster’s defense, trying to get the right photo out of a cat is a lot like herding… well, cats. Still, you think the people at SureFlap would try to make their product appear like it can accommodate a full-sized feline.

Thanks Remy! You can see the original on ZooPlus.

Australian Home Technology: Entertaining, to say the least

The text promises great ideas and better photos; mom’s legs promise something else.

Photoshop Disasters

For all the disasters we get from publications that can get away with a lower standard from their Photoshop department, first-world magazines that underline “technology” with a meaty disaster boggle the mind. At the very least, the red text at the bottom of this cover suggests something “entertaining” – at least they followed up on that one.

Thanks Richard.

SPIEGEL: Big Man on Campus

Sometimes I feel like instructors love to look down on their students.

Photoshop Disasters

There’s a lot of facial hair in that computer lab, considering the wall-coverings clearly intended for adolescents. The most believable thing about this disaster? I’m 90% sure the nearest computer is open on Facebook.

Thanks Posadowsky. You can see the original on Spiegel.

Linio: Big Boy Bike

What a deal! A bike that’s 25% off despite being twice as big as it should be.

Photoshop Disasters

For the penny-pinching adolescent (and those eager to take a running start to mount their bike), it’s a savings that can’t be beat. Of course, it doesn’t seem like there’s any way a child’s limbs could hold the handlebars or reach the pedals – but if you need an oversized bike that doesn’t cast a shadow, this is the one for you.

Thanks Ricardo. You can see the original on the Linio Colombia Facebook site.

Mitt Romney: Layers of Lies

Don’t worry Governor Romney. You’re not the first man to try and impress people by using Photoshop to make things look wider and larger.

Photoshop Disasters

Anthony Weiner tweets an unphotoshopped picture of his lifelong running mate and commits political suicide. Romney tells dozens of lies and instagrams a blatant photoshop, and he’s neck and neck with the President at the polls. I don’t claim to understand American Politics, but then again, we have our own personality-devoid politician to worry about here in Canada.

Thanks to about a dozen people who sent this into us. You can see the original on BuzzFeed.
