Blender has set a new standard in committee-think with their composite Britney cover.
Not only do they put the poor tart's head on an uncredited model's body (which is probably, sadly, in her portfolio), they puss out by flagging the image as a composite. To pile insult upon injury, the tragic and desperate use of the word 'truthiness' is an exercise in pathos.
As if this wasn't enough pussing out, the composition suggests that hitting rock bottom means smoking cigarettes and drinking diet Red Bull. Hello? It's Brit-ney Spe-ars.
Thanks to Idolater.

Blender: We Aren't Even Pretending To Make An Effort Anymore

How is this a "Photoshop Disaster"? Putting in the Red Bull and cigs may be a poor choice of compositional elements but the head transplant is not bad at all.
You know, I happen to know somebody who worked on a particular game- a game for which Britney's entire body was scanned so they could make a very high-res model of her for use in-game. I got a good look at the scan, as well as many of the resulting work.
She has a particularly unimpressive shape for a superstar. short legs, not very curvy, definitely not skinny. average, almost dumpy.
What's really funny is they made a really accurate model of her, and the customer sent it back for revision until she basically looked like a barbie doll.
which inspires one of those painful laughs.
Sadly, I think I know what video game Will_Von_Wizzlepig is talking about :S "Britney's Dancebeat" for the PS2.
What disturbs me most about this image is the hand...it's probably NOT Photoshopped, but it reminds me of a pig-hand.
The only thing sadder than Britney Spears is this cover. It doesn't even make SENSE in the context of what the story purports to be about. And, yeah, acknowledging that it's a composite (to cover your ass legally) doesn't make you look more honest -- just idiotic.
p.s.: while the head transplant looks o.k., they clearly trimmed down her face -- her chin barely exists now.
they flagged it as a retouch INTENTIONALLY because britney is a burned out druggie who can never take a photo like this again. that's the point. idiot.
Kewl! Another piece that I immediately did my patented 'blatantly 'shopped eye roll'.
At least they matched the skin tones, I give them that.
hah, if you hadn't mentioned the magazine was called Blender I would have guessed that the title was Bleeder with Britney's head abscuring the title like that.
Is it just me, or does the Blender logo look like an arrow through her head?
I have this magazine, and the cover creeps me out. There's something about the eyes.
Sweet.
Pay attention to where the L onto Bestlist is placed...
I guess they were trying to say something...
So. You poke fun about photoshop disasters that aren't acknowledged. Now you're going on about deliberate photoshop composites that ARE admitted? In all truthiness, you are neither a fan of wordplay, nor do you apparently read Blender to know whether or not this is common. Get another hobby.
meh....she looks hot in this image.
Because of that I'll pick up the magazine for a flick around.
Kudos to the graphic designers for achieving this.
Enough said.
diet redbull can is baby blue...
The cover actually admits to the image being a fake. It's right under Truthiness report! I have this issue, and I couldn't get over how odd Britney looked until I noticed the blurb in the corner.
There is no Diet Red Bull. It's called Sugar Free - but it is light blue - not like the dark blue can in the picture.
There are some bitter individuals on here that should really FTSU.
