Daily Fail: In Other News, The Simpsons Is Dubbed!


Does the Daily Mail's bold journalism know no bounds?

Thanks to Jax!

Ooh!

I think whats so enjoyable about this blog is not just the pictures, but your brilliant commentary, Cosmo7.

DevilDriverXII said...

lol, she weighs about 15 stone now...right?

kgvs72 said...

Just way too much ps work.

David said...

Leave Britney alone! :)

Antoine said...

These are not promotional pictures but fan stuff made with old photos. Which doesn't mean they are not terribly wrong.

mateja said...

at first I was wondering what was wrong with the picture. then I read it's supposed to be britney.

nlguy said...

Also, she's now 7 feet tall. Yeah...

crazy-gabrielle said...

Noo! Airbrushed? What has the world come to? *shakes head*

Morgan said...

Also her right leg is a foot shorter than her left and both are made of incredibly shiny rubber. Also they have very jagged edges. In real life.

Not airbrushed at all, though.

Jeow-seff said...

"Suggestions"?

FreakyTee said...

Haha i may be wrong but those are tyra bank's legs. I call tell those legs anywhere so it's even more of a shame that they couldn't shop in legs of the same race lol.

Monty said...

The Daily Fail calling someone else out for photoshoppery? The hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Kathy said...

Those *might* be Tyra's legs...

Recent pic of Tyra Banks' legs from People magazine.

It's fanmade using Tyra's body and Britney's head from her Onyx Hotel Tour shoot in 2004.

kaypie said...

This was fan art. Old photos, old news. :(

Chris said...

...so the daily mail actually confused fan art with promos?

This is priceless! Probably the best PSD ever!

Guánder Guóman! said...

No, sh*t, huh!?



If they didn't tell me, I would have never suspected it!


@ David: SHE'S A HUMAN!!

Jayce said...

Not commercial. Fan art. Failure.

Chris said...

...you guys do know that the post is referencing the fact that this was published BY THE DAILY MAIL, right?

Alejo said...

Chris --

Amazing how hard people work at hating on this blog, isn't it? I still don't get why, bu they'll tie themselves in knots trying to say what a "FAILURE" it is, then come back the next day for more.

Whether it's fan art or not, it's pretty damn funny.

Stacia said...

Knowing that The Daily Mail reported fanart as an actual advertising campaign -- complete with a fake story about airbrushing -- makes me happier than it should.

Carlos said...

Why is this on here? This is fan art from a britney spears website. ..... anyone?

Chris said...

Try reading the comments before you post, carlos. That way, whgen you say 'anyone?????' you'll already have the answer.

It's like magic!

Carlos said...

I was skimming. Ive got limited time cause I work. :P.

Brandy said...

Her legs seem to get gradually thinner towards the feet. I wonder if she has a square hole in her heel to help her shoes stay on?

And she has NEVER been that tan, or tall!!

Loner Gamer said...

Gotta love that second Britney Womanizer picture on the Daily Mail site.

Jayce said...

The Daily Mail fell for it, yes, but that was really a failure of the editing kind, not of the Photoshop kind - perhaps if they'd done their research (or perhaps just more than 2 minutes of it) they would have realised that this was fan art.

The PS itself isn't great, but it isn't commercial, therefore it's a failure for this blog.

tome said...

Gee whiz Jayce, you really taught that funny picture website a lesson! They'll think again now that you told them twice they are a big big failure! You strong man you.

Now off to go yell at some kids!

P.S. Jealous much?

pootpoot said...

Whose-ever legs these are, she can stab you with those knee caps.

Rozee said...

She does look surprisingly taller and her wrist is freakishly thin!

Andrew Culture said...

Have they also photoshopped in one of those hands free leads for cellphones? Sort of a 'I'm not only a destroyer of misogyny, but also great at selling real estate' look?

versusthisside said...

@ Rozee:
I am glad I am not the only one who was freaked out by the wrists... They look like a skeleton's! :(

MB said...

oh that's bad, the guy's knee looks terr....

Wait hang on - are you saying the simpsons isn't a hard hitting documentary filmed in front of a live studio audience?

My world's been shattered. I need a lie down.

Bárbara Dayrell said...

This photo is just as artificial as her singing...

cali rezo said...

I wrote about this image the 26th of september on my blog :

It's a very very ugly image...

steffers0622 said...

those legs ain't britney's! those are from promo pics of tyra banks for the show antm--last seasons promo pics i believe...

Megan said...

I love her skeletor wrist.

libwitch said...

My god, if she tries to bend at the wrists or ankles, she will snap. Or for that matter, do anything with the right arm.

But people naturally are that oddly built. Yep.

(I am, however, willing to buy that she is wearing a very bad choice of dark nylons. No, honey, white pale girls like us pick the "nude" color in stockings!)

Julia said...

it's tyra banks' body. i saw the original...

Chris said...

The next idiot who posts "Tyra!" as if ten people HAVENT ALREADY, gets a free ticket to Britney's next lip syncing.

Kimizzy said...

Hey, am I going crazy or is that Tyra Banks' body?


Oh God... the temptation was too much.

I was actually impressed with everyone noticing that and showing the pics of Tyra's legs. Thanks!

Brandy said...

I guess she has had surgery on her neck or something, and now will always have her head in that position.

There seems to be a tendon coming from behind her right ear and attaching in between her collarbones.

I'm a muscular woman, but have NEVER had a muscle like that in my neck! Turn your head the way she is, and feel your neck. If you DO have a neck that looks like that in the same position, please post pix! My scalenes are on the side, going to my shoulders. But they don't bulge!

Tom Dougherty said...

Truly grotesque, shitty work.

sophmagazine said...

HER RIGHT WRIST IS SO LOVELY AND THIN. WHY CAN'T I HAVE WRISTS LIKE THAT? MUST DEVELOP EATING DISORDER. :(

also, I'm enjoying how her left foot kind of disappears into nothing. maybe it's tucked into a handy little pocket on the snake?

Farlin Paulino(Blaze) said...

Do stupid people still exist? Damn! I need to start the killing spree again. Next move: Kill journalists who know nothing about photoshop

The Pen Guy said...

she had the tanning machine set to eleven

Admin said...

What a giant version of Britt

Modelizer said...

Well then, maybe someone should have told them that it was fan art and actually made from a totally different image/had britneys head simply placed on it. Great journalism!

Brian T. said...

My God! I love Britney, but her wrists and hands are wafer thin!!!

Alexandra said...

Please tell me that there is something wrong with the shadows and that there is certainly not a giant crack on her neck.

suzisknits said...

Looks like a corset to me... Who needs airbrushing when you've got a half a pound of steel boning?

thomasgoerlich said...

Seems like they found the origin of the legs: http://youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com/blog3/?p=1424

Murielle said...

I know it was said in earlier comments but this is a fan made picture.

Here is the body: http://images.craveonline.com/article_imgs/Image/Tyra-ANTM.jpg

May I add, that is some poor reporting...

Luger Himmlisch said...

airbrushed? No way!....wait a minute what's photoshop?

Mona said...

i think its a great job, not a disaster

and the autor of this work is here http://netmenvision.blogspot.com/

obviously, not an official britney's promotional picture

Bad Fish said...

FAN MADE PICTURE

shitty reporting, way to not update a story

Pigumon said...

I love how they are still using the term AIRBRUSHED!!!

Rachel said...

*snap* Oh god my ankles

*snap* oh god my wrists

*snap* oh god my legs

*snap* oh god my arms

Guess I'll just live as a torso and head then...
