It isn't often that we feature the US military-industrial complex on PsD, not least because it has the web deployment skills of a meringue.
Regardless, somewhere, deep in the bowels of this [Warning: criminally defective] site, lies this beautiful example of retro-tokenism.
Props to Z. Happy holidays everyone.

US Military: Your Tax Dollars At Work

My god, where do you start with something like this?
Well... for starters the pointing woman appears to have a tiny man sitting on her lap.
They only did it because they had to show diversity.
Remember, these people faked the Lee Harvey Oswald photos.
When a web site uses MARQUEE to advertise which web browsers they support, you know you're dealing with people who really "get it".
I think the smiling guy in the uniform was also shopped in for some reason.
The guy who' standing with his arms folded doesn't look like he should be there either. The hair on the seated person in front of him appears to give it away.
The "man in the grey flannel suit" is also not really there. And, the gentleman at the head of the table has had his seat usurped by the shopped-in assistant.
Are these token giants or token midgets?
It appears only two of those people were originally at the table, and the rest are holograms.
Looks like a job for Mulder and Scully...
oh my god HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that looks so unbelievably fake
It's amazing how the one really bad addition makes the rest of the picture look fake too. I think only the woman was added. Everybody else has the correct focus and lighting.
The military guy has his lower half sheared off in a perfectly straight line and appears to be floating above the ground. I'm pretty sure he was not in the room.
Is it just me, or is the PC in the background facing the pillar? Which would answer a lot about how this came about ...
No...the woman in the brown suit was not Photoshopped in. She is just excited to see that the man sitting down has written her name 17 times on his note paper.
Gah!
Look out, nice token ethnic lady! The grey-suited ghost of Max Headroom's right behind you!
- Mu
Clockwise, from token black (spotlighted, badly scaled) woman
Token disgruntled German/Russian defector
Token Bill Curtis lookalike
Token brown-haired homosexual with highlights, sinful mouth obscured
Token jowly-American
Token vaguely Asian/South American woman
Token knuckles-on-table shrew
Token erect American colonel-type
Token small, Jewish lawyer
@wade: Looks like Col. Hogan's uniform also took a bite out of the little lap-sitter's shoulder.
Why, it's just like the cover of Sgt. Pepper!
Good to know that the military gives equal opportunities to floating disemboweled torsos.
You're right, brunswick, the guy with his arms folded does look like a cardboard cut out a la "Sgt Pepper".
Looks like the guy in the middle, the one who looks like Bill Curtis, and the two ladies on either side of the photo were the only ones in this originally. Not only is the military guy cut off at the waist, but someone in the back has a disembodied/overly long arm reaching towards the cords on the PC facing the wall. You can see a bit of their hand and wrist back there.
It's hard to take a proper photograph when all these people in the same room, you know.
The Asian looking woman on the right appears to be growing out of the table.
And the fellow to the right of Token Black Woman appears to be growing out of the table. Not sure if anyone has mentioned that yet.
In sum, this hack-job is full of fail.
Every meeting deserves a tiny Richard Nixon.
Actually, the U.S. military intentionally hires people who APPEAR to be photoshopped so nobody will believe that's what they really look like and thus their employees won't be recognized as such. I call fail on this one. PSD sucks, etc., etc.
i don't understand; they did such a great job faking the moon landing video.
Perhaps, because they show themselves to be so completely incapable of believably faking anything, they didn't fake the moon landing afterall.
Or perhaps they are doing such a bad faking job now to lull us into a false sense of security. Yeah, that's it. It has to be :-)
I always wondered why the military has a MOS (job) for graphic designer. I also wanted to see some of their work.
Are any of them there at all? It looks like it should have been an empty boardroom.
I think that the black girl is actually entertaining her room full of cardboard cutouts. She's so desperate to fit in...
Looks like the SS dude and the dark woman are the stick-ins. The suited dude whose pad she'd pointing at has his elbow embedded in her arm not to mention the crappy cut out job on the dude across from them to get the SS dude in. The little man is the normal one.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Now THAT's a PS disaster! Awesome find.
Adjusting layer/filter levels for black people is hard in photoshop compared to white people? OMG... show me the adobe's demographic charter for the years 1905-2008!
Shit! :(
This can't be real - as in, no way did someone actually try to pass this off as legit. I want to find out who did this - laugh at her, then find out who her boss is and ask him how he allowed this. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !
I like how its a her "because a man could have never done a disaster like this"
You said it sweet cheeks! Smack!
It's a dodgy site, too
