Since time immemorial man has tried to make pictures of women giving a thumbs up. Time after time, these attempts ended with success. Now at last, the barrier to awfulness has been breached. Enjoy.
Thanks to Baptiste!

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.

Perhaps she's just severely disabled....
VERY severely!
It's brilliant <3
just amazing .
this, makes me so happy.
- Get me the scalpel! We're going to have to attach the hand to the shoulder!
- Doctor! This procedure has never been done before!
- I know... but I can try.
wow! That's just bad!
find
and to think it was someone's job to make that look that good.
J'aime bien le Thalidomide!
maybe the headline translates in Flipper Lady in 2009, and the guy did an amazing job.
They call her Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No one you see, is smarter than she,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there under, under the sea!
I give it two shoulders up!
Total fail. I didn't know you could fail at this. But not the first time (according to other pictures on PSD) that a simple task was totally boned by people who don't just take a picture of what they want a picture of.
Oh, and...
Gagnez en 2009! non, perdez...
And bravo to the Thalidomide commentors. :)
It's like a lesion in foreshortening gone horribly, horribly wrong.
@kgvs74 - he he he!
Yes, a "lesion" - exactly.
"It was only a couple of flipper bay-hay-bee-hees..."
Is it just me but, I know I haven't got to the interview stage for artworker jobs that I know damn well I could do with my eyes closed and hands tied behind my back. Failure due to not giving a crap about an outdated program such as Quark and shock, horror! Using Photoshop on a PC, or never bothering to learn about Website design, (even though every job description sees it as a reprequisite to being a good designer/artworker. i.e if you don't know HTML you don't know Jack about anything else). The term, Jack of all trades master of none springs to mind when looking at this image, and probably the reason we see so much crap.
Nope... nothing unusual at all.
She just suffers from a genetic disease since her birth.
That's evolution baby !
Thalidomide babies need work, too.
The headline should've been "I'm stumped!"
Well, looks like a photographer disaster, not a PS.
"Ms. Tyranosaur Woman, how do you manage to get clean after... Well, you know..."
(Seal noises) Urf! Urf! Urf! Urf!
and she has a penis
Haha, I see the perspective they were going for, but the unfortunate result is hilarious! This is one of my favorites.
And what's happened to her ear?
Certainly one of the very worst in your blog!
Drat! I got here too late to do the Thalidomide joke.
Not a PSD, just a perspective disaster.
Oh wait....the face..PSD!!!
Looks good to me!

The poor girl spends all that time in pilates and weight training, and they make her arm look like a fat lump of flesh attached to her shoulder. And what's up with her ear?
This is not a disaster. My girlfriend is also a balding flipper baby.
Every time I look at that picture, it just gets more and more disturbing... fantastic.
This just shows you what is being done daily in magazine covers. If you will look closely at every magazine cover and inside in the ads, you will find penises and vaginas all over. You will find much more if you have studied art and photography.
It is all there by design. The publisher and advertisers all want to crab your subconscious because it is your subconscious the one that acts on the spur of the moment to make an impulse buy.
For more information on this you may Google Dr. William Bryan Key, a psychologist who did much work for the advertising and publishing companies back in the seventies.
His works include: Subliminal Seduction and the Clambake Orgy.
That's not a photoshop disaster, I've known people with arms like that. It's called phocomelia.
"The irrepressible spirit of French beauty Margaux LeRiche, one of the world's last thalidomide babies, has overcome her physical disabilities and helped launch what has become a successful modeling career, providing hope for all those with similar disabilities that their dreams are never out of reach."
Unless said dreams are more than a foot away.
"The publisher and advertisers all want to crab your subconscious"
And sometimes it feels like they want to crap my subconscious.
The Finder says: "For more information on this you may Google Dr. William Bryan Key".
I did, and the first hit said: "Experts have long since debunked the subliminal hoaxes, and many people with more than a passing knowledge of advertising know not to take this nonsense seriously"
Seal says: Urf! Urf! Urf! Urf!
Sings "The shoulder bone's connected to the wrist bone"
I can't thank you enough for this site. It's so good for a laugh
I knew a Thalidomide Dwarf in school with this hand and shoulder placement. But I don't know anyone that would give a thumbs up as they were being dropped from a helicopter to smash on the rocks below.
Oh, btw - nice joke in the title, too.
The funny thing is, her arm placement may not be necessarily shopped. Were this not completely airbrushed to hell 'n back, the contrast from naturally occurring shadows would make the arm's foreshortening look less retarded.
But noooo...
Munnin, I think you've hit it. It almost didn't look that odd to me at first or even second glance. I think it's actually a valid pic, and just missing the shadows to make that blob of flesh look more 3D and like a real arm
@Russ...
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH
Also, the sad thing is if you sort of squint at it for a long time, it looks sort of ok. My mind keeps going back and forth like I can't tell if I'm looking at a vase or two dudes' faces.
I can totally see someone working on this at 3 in the morning and in a haze being like, "Ok, that looks like an arm" and then just sending it in.
Heck, the thumb itself isn't too impressive either...
saw's age
Here's the original:

What? Just looks like foreshortening to me. Well, and a horrible cut-out, of course. What am I missing?
More like collar bone connected to the elbow
That's like the wrist/forearm equivilent of cankles. Nice.
Mz Hayes is certainly a nano celebrity. I agree. And that photo of her is sooooo demeaning to wimmin!
By the way, do you have any more photos you could post? Just asking.
The nub arm takes the cake...
