Ooh bad Photoshop
That plodding fat hand reveals
An absence of thought
Thanks to Joonas! Original is here!
Edit: the original site has (rather unsportingly) fixed the image.

I dunno. I don't read Finish. Maybe this is an ad for a medicine to treat gigantism?
I think it's simply a case of another person out of view who was closer to the camera.would have been darn near impossible to effectively heal brush the arm out, so they left it in.
that hand's from some guy
he is somewhere out of frame
still a disaster
it's clearly the hand of a guy out of frame (they guy talking is clearly addressing somebody else)...
Even if they didn't make an "accident," they should have taken out that extra body part to make the picture look "better."
This is perfectly legit. The hand is of a guy out of the frame and the other person also seems to look at him.
Reminds of the Foo Fighter's video for "Everlong"
Probably 70% of all the posts at this site are nothing more than LOL I AM DELIBERATELY IGNORING PARTS OF THIS PICTURE AND NOT PAYING ATTENTION SO THAT I CAN LAUGH AT IT!
Come on. Actually post Photoshop Disasters.
wow.. that's terrible.
I didn't spot it at first, but I nearly screamed when I did. o___O That looks really freaky.
Yikes!! That hand is huge, ha ha.
man hands
oh my god i was literally scared for a second when i first saw that hand.
hey great blog btw! i read it all the time
Also, what the heck is going on with the perspective on the wall in the background??
The clock on the wall seems to have entered a warp zone, while the perspective on the calendar is just plain wrong.
Also, I believe half of the guy's pencil is missing.
The hand of the woman is just above the hand of someone else, but both hands are still too large to be proper.
That poor man, he's been impaled by that thin green line that probably could have easily been moved slightly to either side.
At yet, he continues. Bravo.
Not to mention, that guy looks like he hasn't slept in weeks...
The fellow in the middle either is looking at someone off screen, or has a serious wall-eye. Either way, his expression says, "Daaaaaaamn...."
Yikes!
His first gig as a hand model, and we shoot him down in flames!
:-D
It would be disastrously awful even if it didn't have the mutant hand.
Sure, this is perfectly legit. So legit that if somebody tried to make me pay for it I'd stock whip them out the door.
That guy in the middle has just become a zombie. He's saying 'brains!'

Wait, what?!
Have you actually checked this site or what? I'll admit a few pictures here aren't disasters, or at least not photoshop disasters, but the large majority of the posts ARE awfully blatant mistakes. Especially that one.
Finnish speaker here, hello everybody \o_
It's an advertisement for...I don't know what do you call them in English..."Huuna" named servicehouses (?), where people who suffer from mental health issues can live and try to recover, with the help of the staff.
And I don't know what the heck "huuna" means.
It *is* a photoshop disaster, but first, it's a photography disaster. The composition should never have included that hand, and because of that, it should have been corrected in photoshop.
Definitely a disaster.
you got to hand it to her...she has one big hand :D
If you look at the original, the image is fine. PsD has simply cropped it to make it look like bad Photoshopping. C'mon guys! No need for this!
You can see the dude the hand belongs to in the original but I think it looks too big even for him, so... yeah.
"Johnathan! You are either IN or OUT of the frame. Decide!"
Not a Photoshop disaster, but a staging distaster so it's still worth a giggle.
Like Shira-Chan, I couldn't see what was wrong at first, but when I spotted it I was really freaked!!
It looks a bit better in the original, 'cos you can see that there's another person there, but it's still freaky even at that (especially because of the placement of the little photos).
The calendar in the background is pretty warped as well!!
The best part is that they left Chris 'Cabin Boy' Elliot in the picture.
Trying to figure out the relationship in space between the calendar and clock can cause vertigo. The room might have been designed by M.C. Escher--unless it was MC Hammer.
With the cropping by the inset picture, it makes the woman look like she descended from Popeye.
If you follow the link, you see the rest of the man that goes with the arm. I call shenanigans on this PS disaster. The original is not a disaster, bot not following links before posting is. This is why citizen journalism will never be totally accepted.
it looks right now. There's a guy's head and shoulders that belongs to that hand.
Whoa there bucko!
The hand belongs to the guy on the left.
No fat at all.
Proportionality seems ok to me.
I want to beleive it's her real hand and that she's only attending the meeting incase there's something to be thump or crush things.
If that is the guy the arm belongs to, then the arm is dreadfully out of proportion to his upper torso. Even if it's just funky perspective, the photo editing didn't help it.
Also, in the one on the product site, the man's head is (now) visible above the top inset. It's not on the one posted here. The green lines on the one on the product site also don't go into the man's head as far as the ones on the photo posted here.
I don't call BS on PSDs for this, I think HCN simply put up a different photo at the site after somebody there noticed the crappy composition of what was first posted.
I note the guy's head has been put back in on the site (http://www.hcn.fi/Main.aspx?id=1104) so that the picture makes sense.
Is that Chris Elliot?
I think the guy has been added in post-facto. The head still doesn't match with the arm
That guy looks like Chris Elliot.
And yes, if you look at the original, it's clear that there's a guy closer to the camera attached to that hand.
In an earlier time she was the hand model for the Solidarity Movement.
It is a quasi-photoshop disaster if they gradiented out the image thus leaving a hand that looked like it belonged to her. After all it appears they later went back and revised the image to include the other guy before the gradient.
There are so many TRUE PS Disasters out there why are ones like this being posted? Go to the original (as others have said) and this is all cleared up and not a problem at all. Even if it hadn't been cleared up by the O this would have been poor design not poor manipulation. I hate to be a web hater but this blog is getting weaker everyday.
This reminds me of the one episode on seinfeld where jerry is dating a girl with man hands!
That is a disaster, or they don't care. Everything in the foreground, mugs, apples, bananas arm is a different photo, or at least on a table in front of the table the three people are meeting on. The perspective on the walls on the back is also wrong.
Yea, everyone needs to chill out. Clearly when this was posted they erased out a guy's head and left in a giant disembodied hand that coincidentally looks like it belongs to a girl.
Why so much hate for this blog?
The photo you see here isn't just a cropped version of the original. If you look carefully you can see that the man in the "original" would be visible in this version too. Maybe the ghost man decided to rematerialize... By the way, the same man is in the top inset leaning over the group. Another wierd angle shot.
The wall looks wierd, but I think it is a trick of the perspective.
That looks like a "hell boy" arm!
Okay. This photo is not legit because that hand is HUGE!
It's CLOBBERIN' TIME!
Seriously I can't believe no one has commented about the lighting on this. AND if you look at the original you see the head that belongs to those hands. Still out of perspective but it's there.
when did Hellboy become human?
I read like all the comments, kept looking back after each one, and couldn't find anything off other than the annoying grid.
Then I saw it.
I shall never un-see it. o_o
What? If you click on the original you can see the guy sitting at the table and you can tell it's his arm. Maybe the designer could have toned the arm down a bit so it wasn't so visible since it doesn't add anything to the composition (and if cropped strategically by a photoshopdisaster submitter makes it look like it's the woman's arm....) Their designer should have placed one of those smaller photos or orange rectangles on it to make the arm stand out less.
Oh dear. On the other hand... *cough* It seems the site designer has edited the image after this post was posted. I can now see why the old one was such a handy example of disasterygoodness.
So it's a home for Finnish crazies. The garganuan hand is there because either (1) It exemplifies the difficulties that paranoid schizophrenics suffer or (2) the person with the giant arm is really fucked up about it.

Hero Paperboy asks Why so much hate for this blog?
I don't know, except I see it all over the net. A raging sense of entitlement and one-upmanship in anonymous free loaders. It's like road rage.
Chill out haters. It's a funny picture site.
Yeah, now they corrected this.
But beside the girl's arm (the one in the grey sweater) there is a remaining limb that I can't make sense of.
Maybe the reappeared guy is supposed to be resting his head on his left hand, but this can not possibly an elbow since it's too thin ....
Also the mysterious right forearm still seems too long to belong to the reappeared guy.
It was fixed later original was screwed up then they repaired it :)
ummm do you mean finnish as in the country finland finnish, or finished as in done?
if you look at the original picture, you'll see that the arm belongs to someone, and the guy in the middle is looking at the arm guy. c'mon people.
I love looking at this picture, because every time I somehow miss the hand. I spend about 30 seconds looking for the problem, and then wonder how I didn't see it for so long, even on the second or third viewing. And then I giggle like a madman.
Also, Jesus~Freak- That would be the joke. It's a little subtle, I think, since it's too easy to pass off as a misspelling.
I think it's kind of nice having the original picture and the fixed one on the site. It shows just what exactly went wrong, and how a seemingly harmless mistake can have truly horrible consequences.
This is excellent because there is the fixed version to compare with. :)
took me a while to notice lol.
it looks like the hulk in mid-transformation
so Chris Elliott is leading a group, one of the members of which is Kurt Cobain.
and I agree: the small bit of flesh above the giganto-hand and to the immediate left of grey sweater girl alludes to a person who has been 'shopped out. perhaps another victim of the spooooooky white blur around the group, or maybe the insidious green grid that seems to impale guys but not girls. hmmm.
(it doesn't look like it could be ghost-man's left arm; I think it's not quite positioned right for that.)
Well, there's still that odd past over character on right. =D

Um, do you mean no sense of humour as in the British spelling, or imbecile as in the American spelling?
DUDE! Hellboy's girlfriend!
i was taken aback by that
"It's an advertisement for...I don't know what do you call them in English..."Huuna" named servicehouses (?), where people who suffer from mental health issues can live and try to recover, with the help of the staff."
Well between the green lines piercing your soul, the zombie-guy asking for brains, the horrible perspective on the walls, and the big hands lying about, I'm sure it would be quite a restful place for one's nerves.
Tome I've been enjoying your comments. Wish you had a blog I could see :)
lol rofl lmao .....
Actually, if you have activated NoScript-plugin in Firefox, the desaster is still in the background, it's just flashed out :-)
