- blitzer, on 11/01/2007, -4/+366Every picture in every magazine is edited like this.
- sockpuppets, on 10/11/2007, -7/+180She can has cheezburger.
- razmig, on 10/11/2007, -33/+201honestly, I kind of like the older photo better.
- ShadySpace, on 10/11/2007, -7/+166Christ, no wonder teenage girls are puking up everything they put down their throats. They're constantly having perfection thrown in their face where in reality such a thing doesn't exist.
- RockStrongo1, on 10/11/2007, -3/+152They made her arm look like a toothpick
- navitatl, on 10/11/2007, -9/+151It's pretty sick that they feel the need to alter her. She looks fine in the older one. If all 40-year-old women looked as good as she does, it would be... awesome.
- gmprunner, on 10/11/2007, -5/+91Even CatFancy!? NOOOOO!!!
- r0b1, on 10/11/2007, -5/+77So? I'd still give it a push.
- freakinhuge, on 10/11/2007, -1/+72...Norris?
- InetRoadkill, on 10/11/2007, -6/+60Arggggh. The goggles... They do nothing!
- GregLoire, on 10/11/2007, -3/+54They're just not trying hard enough.
- detrevni, on 10/11/2007, -4/+53I think she looks prettier in the 'real' picture...much more human, and much less teen pop idol. Wish more people could just accept the fact that yes, they are getting older, and no, there is still not a whole hell of a lot we can do about it.
- BayAreaKing, on 10/11/2007, -2/+43A huge chuck of her shoulder is gone!
- wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -3/+39Quagmire: "Oh my god, 18 year old! -- OH MY GOD, 40 year old!"
- andersonmanly, on 10/11/2007, -1/+36OMG - they cut off her elbow. Good grief, if girls imitate what they see in magazines, let's hope that elbow alteration doesn't catch on.
- jmontes, on 10/11/2007, -2/+34Why, oh why, do they Photoshop women that are already beautiful?
P.S. to Adobe: Ppllbbtt! Photoshop can too be a verb. - fuckingusername, on 10/11/2007, -10/+38omg pulls out!
- nullmind, on 10/11/2007, -11/+38The reason we like the older photo more is because that's how our penis was engineered. Our dicks may be stupid -- but when they know their being tricked they get kinda pissy ;)
- thedefiantone, on 10/11/2007, -2/+28She's gorgeous in both pics, only one looks like a human being and the other like a magazine cover.
- sockpuppets, on 10/11/2007, -3/+28Deleting yourself would work better.
- DarkTranquility, on 10/11/2007, -2/+22Monica Bellucci... smoking hot at age 42, photoshopped or not
- joaob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19Thank You. Only the 10,000th time posted on Digg.
- marathonguy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19Some of you aren't getting it... yes, I know every photo in every magazine is manipulated these days. What is fascinating about that is actually seeing what was so objectionable and they thought needed to be changed!
- ByronT, on 11/01/2007, -23/+38Looks like this image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
- Oomsoup, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17Wow, that was amazing. Even though you know that gets done in every magazine it's still a shock to see it. We could be seeing how people really look, their real beauty and instead they give us this airbrushed fantasy that will never be a real human being. I find this really sad.
- meatpopsicle, on 10/11/2007, -6/+19Quick, someone come up with a brand of makeup called Photoshop... Then I can come up with a competing product and call it gimp.
- adarkmethod, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14im just wondering why they bother to ever take celebrity photos in the first place at this point, just photoshop the whole thing
- NSMike, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13I suppose that's true to a certain degree - but in all honesty, you have to realize that what we want is not always healthy. Creating unrealistic expectations hurts everyone. For example, teenage girls see these images and work very hard to emulate them, and when they can't, not because they're not trying, but simply because they're not designed to look that way, it harms their psyche.
And let's not stop with the young women, either. What of young men? Heterosexual young men are compelled to look for that perfect photoshopped woman in real life, and will ultimately end up disappointed with reality. This leads to more unwarranted psychological pressure on women. Men pressure women to be ideal. I know a woman I work with told me men she has dated, DATED mind you, not married, would criticize her looks and weight - and she might be a touch overweight, but come on, she's almost 40 years old, she's not supposed to look like an 18 year old in her prime. She's a mother of three and works a desk job. She doesn't really have much time to hit the gym. Why should she strive for that image? To justify herself to a man who can't appreciate who she is rather than who he wants her to be? There are better ways to spend your time.
Shoot, I'm even a victim of this. I see all of these incredibly attractive young women and their perfect photoshopped beauty and desire it. But it's not real. And it's not realistic for me to expect such results in real life. Despite what sells well, sometimes you have to consider the ultimate consequences of modifying our visual psychology. - schoate09, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14Except youll go out of business for having a free product which sucks major donkey balls.
- dodus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11She looks fine in both...you're the one who needs to be honest with yourself. Your profession is *****.
- dime, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11For what it's worth, your profession has the respectability level of paparazzi, criminal defense lawyers and used car salesmen.
- claireskitten, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10yeah, her arm in the edited on is actually really disturbing...
- NanoStuff, on 10/11/2007, -8/+17It certainly does exist, you can be sure of that. One trip down to Slovakia/Poland/Czech Republic/... is all the proof you need. Even after photoshopping she doesn't come close.
- Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Bed head is sexy, no makeup is sexy...it means you have a woman in bed, dressed for action.
- alpine75, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12She's more attractive in the untouched photo, in my opinion.
- Gerz1219, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12Wait a minute! Some of the photographs seen in fashion magazines are... gasp... manipulated with photo editing software?! This is a scandal and an outrage. When word of this gets out, nobody will ever trust the media again. Next you'll be telling me that people aren't really laughing in all those sitcoms.
- blaket, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Be careful captain, don't want to strain yourself.
- Koldkompress, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7As much as I like Michael Moores docudramas, he can make me feel better about myself when I just look at him.
- captaincheeno, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8or two.
- iStunT, on 10/11/2007, -5/+12They even made her arm skinnier...
- GliTCH82, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Somebody call Michael Moore and tell him to do a documentary on this, in order to restore common sense and confidence to all American girls everywhere
- dodus, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9At any rate it really doesn't look that much different--but whatever ugly soccer moms have to tell themselves to feel better.
- robdiggity, on 10/11/2007, -9/+16I much prefer the after shot.
- otaking, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Adobe made a statement that they do not recognize/encourage the use of the term Photoshopped (or in this case..."Unphotoshopped"). They prefer enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
gj remember that ByronT lol - PamalaLauren, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7She looks good in both but I have to say the unphotoshopped photo was bad in the lighting area. But seeing how much they altered is just weird to me. The woman (I've seen her in concert) is good looking as she is. She doesn't need much altering if you ask me.
- schroeder, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6She has a face like an anvil.
- crushfan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I had been already logged in and buried you both. How about that?
- Litespeed, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6The stupid thing is if they just had her in a normal/comfortable pose, they wouldn't have to "skinny up" her arm and remove her hunchback. The fact that she's twisted like a Romanian gymnast is why she looks funny in the untouched photo (which I prefer anyway).
- jtorkbob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Actually, you should go to a modern sitcom taping some time. Sure, they sweeten it, but they have a master of ceremonies kind of guy whose job is to keep the audience interested. I went to According to Jim and the guy says, 'we need you to laugh just as hard when you hear the joke the fifth time as the first'. That's partly for the actors' benefit, and partly for pacing - the actors need to know how long to pause.
They also have a huge number of microphones over the audience, with tight patterns - small areas of listening. Which I figure is so that they can mix out the sound of the guy who says 'hell yeah' in the middle of the joke.
I have a rather distinctive laugh, and in the episode I went to, you can hear me laughing well after everyone else had stopped. You can also hear the laugh of the MC guy, who used a comical laugh to cue people, and to keep people amused.
So, there. - geekwithsoul, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Yes, yes you are. Feel better now?
