It's hard to describe the fractal-like layers of wrongness that make this post.

Have you seen a truly awful piece of Photoshop work? Clumsy manipulation, senseless comping, lazy cloning and thoughtless retouching are our bread and butter. And yes, deep down, we love Photoshop.
If it is commercial and awful then please let us know! Anonymity can be arranged for the easily embarrassed/canned.
Although I am hopeless at replying to email, be assured that each and every tip is followed up.

Irish Independent: That Must Be Some Distinctive Nose

The digital alteration they are talking about is they re-colored the baby's eyes and added the black hair.
The baby was actually born with a black bar across its nose.
You try getting a black bar across a squirming baby's eyes, those things never stop moving, and then pass judgment.
I agree with Ben. The black bar is just a natural mustache.
LOL @ Anon 11:39 AM's comment!
This is no laughing matter, people. Society needs to stop discriminating against children with black bar syndrome. Honestly, I'm ashamed with all of you.
Worse than that...the print edition has it too. /cringe
Yay! Pictures back in bloglines. Thanks!
They were trying to protect the pig's identity, not the baby's!
That's funny; I saw that today and thought of my new favourite blog, and here it is...
It's not a mistake! He has nipples on his nose.
C'mon, I do that with my newborn son right now.
even if the drunken hobo who make the black bar putted that shit in the baby eyes, WTF? they gonna protect the baby identidy just hiding his eyes? i think that he is more protected with this shit in his nose that his eyes
Clearly they had another photo in there at first, then changed it to this one without adjusting the bar in the publishing software. only slightly less stupid than putting it there in the first place, considering it went to print like that
Actually, it's covering the baby's mustache. It was entirely too unique in style and an immediate giveaway.
I know someone is going to freak out at this, but honestly, without being politically correct, the first thing that popped into my mind was, "Jewish baby?"
Isn't it that the TSA is about to take nostrilprints of infant in order to compare them against the Terrorist black list? ;-)
HA ! I can see what they did there : they kept the nose shadow layer over the nose layer.
Err...Wait a minute...
I always wondered why people even bothered to block out the eyes. I mean, blocking out the nose is much more effective...
The Boogers have been obscured to protect the dignity of the baby.
A hilarious amount of wrongness! :)
Man, they do nose jobs _young_ these days!
mabey some kind of a weird hitler remake?
pictures of patients in medical textbooks usually have the black eye bar, but when the picture is illustrating an eye disease... well they revert to the slightly less effective, considerably more weird, black nose box.
would you kill baby hitler?
I only just discovered your blog today and I have been laughing ever since. Thank you thank you thank you.
Baby CD, it's you! Oh, they've tried to hide it, but I'd know that nose anywhere. "You must love the little birdies to give them THIS to perch on."
Adam Ant's love-child ... obviously!
This is so wrong! This is a very wrong mistake!
I'm waiting for tomorrow's paper in the retraction section where they print the picture with the eyes correctly covered to properly protect the identity...
The baby might have that black bar in front of his nose because he might suffer from the cleft-lip medical condition.
Why do they need to worry about protecting the baby's identity?
All babies look pretty similar.
