Ouch: Look Mom No Legs!

Unfortunately the text means "your purchase could be free", when it could have been "half off" or "our prices are freakish" or "if we cut any more off we'd endanger major organs."

Joining me on the road to hell: Guillermo Espertino!

Daily Fail: What Is Your Major Malfunction?

The Daily Mail is essentially the UK equivalent of Fox News and Michelle Malkin. It features numerous pieces complaining about immigration, foreigners, Europe, how everything is hopelessly awful, etc.

If it had any good old British blood of steel in its newsprint-veins of justice it would do something about the terrible Photoshopping that is undermining that great nations sense of pride in its media. After all, didn't Churchill once say (continued on page 97).

Thanks to everyone who sent this in! Hastily (and blurrily) fixed version is here.

Monoprix: Lint Free At Last

Ah yes, I'll just tidy up this chick's skin. Varicose veins gone! Moles gone! Zits gone! Belly button gone! Wait, what?

Thanks to Valentina Z! Original here.

Dior: You Need A New Look Dude

Dior is a luxury brand and a major component of LVMH, with revenues of $16.8 billion and 59,000 employees. Which means its entire web presence is in the form of annoying Flash sites and hideous disasters such as this.

Thanks to Scalpa Talbru!

Banana Boat: We'll Add The Shadows In Later

Somewhere along the dreadful course of events that brought this ad to the pages of Health magazine, you'd think someone would have thought "maybe the picture should have some shadows, because, you know, that would make it look sunny, which is the entire point of this ad and our product."

GTA4: How Many Fingers?

Grand Theft Auto IV is a new video game in which you score points by meeting sexually suggestive women and running them over repeatedly in a burning SUV while they tell you their life story and how they happen to have six fingers.

Unbelievably detailed discussion at neogaf. Thanks to Brittany S!

Olivier: Maybe The Fence Melted Because Of Her Breasts Or Something

Corné sends in this delightfully image-ruining slip by S.Oliver and Anastacia, whoever they are.

Diamondback Bikes: Pigeon Legs

You'd think he'd have trouble going up hills with legs like that.

Thanks to John Hobbs!

Ashley Tisdale: Ewww

Usually submissions to PsD are easy to follow up. Sometimes they are strangely hard to track down. Is this really Ms Tisdale's next DVD cover? Really?

The only site that seems to have it is here [warning: Comic Sans]. Thanks to Michelle DePesa!

Yoox: Maybe She Should Find A Different Line Of Work

Photographer: I just can't help noticing that - uh - thing on your bosom.
Model: I put concealer on it, did'nie.
Photographer: They 'aven't made a concealer wot can conceal that darling. David bleeding Copperfield can't make that disappear.
Model: Well, can't you like photochop it aht?
Photographer: Well, we'll 'ave to, though I have to say, we do suck at Photoshop.

Thanks to Mark Van Ee. Original is here.

Impuls: Vampire Insurance

There comes a certain point at which your photoshopping stops removing blemishes and begins an unsettling voyage into the uncanny valley.

Thanks to Martin Deffner!

Technos: Blown pupils usually means brain stem edema

Messala Ciulla sends in this delightful model apparently enduring a stroke during her shoot. The unnervingly bright whites probably mean she has lupus, or perhaps bacterial endocarditis (necks huge vicodin tab).

Pago: I'M MELTING!

Either it's a Photoshop disaster, or someone set their pilates machine way too high.

Original is here, along with some trumpety German fluffage about how great their juice is, thanks to Anita M!

Barratt: Artist's Impression Excessively Abstract

For Sale: Delightful 4-BR bijou split-level des res, all mod-cons, HVAC, new kitchen, driveway installed by drunkards, fireplace, new listing.

Thanks to Chris Holgate! Original is here.

Asus / MSI: Laughing Stocks

According to the 80+ emails in my inbox, Engadget has a story about MSI and Asus both using the same Getty images stock photo.

The original picture shows an Apple iBook. The MSI version adds in a blurry new friend in the background, while the Asus version inexplicably adds make-up to the poor kid.

Cheese Heads: Finger Deforming Good!

You see, when a picture loves another picture very much, they get together and do something very special. Son, I'm going to use a word I'm sure you've heard before - they get Photoshopped together. And this is how a disaster comes into the world; it's a beautiful thing.

Props to Rik Sansone!

Logitech: Honey Where's The VT Remote?

You have to hand it to Logitech. When most designers would compromise by doing another shoot or figuring out a different layout, Logitech comes out a-fighting and a-flopping.

Here's a closer look in case your brain is telling you that it can't be true.

Thanks to J Sousa!

High School Musical 2: Designer Still In Grade School

Either there's a lot more impaling going on in this movie than I had previously understood, or someone, possibly someone with a hat, has been comped into this scene at the last minute.

Thanks to Ian Clarke!

Tuttosport: Insert Severed Hand Joke Here

Grafico responsabile: beh, stronso.

Mille grazie Kaneda!

IRS: Now Add The Image From Line 48

Scene: Gigantic meeting room at IRS headquarters. Sixty IRS directors and managers sit at a long table.

Secretary to the Treasury: Ladies, gentlemen, we all know why we're here. I'm afraid this is going to be a long, difficult meeting. We're going to art direct a photograph on our website.

Thanks to Lynn T! Original here.

H&R Block: H.R. Giger

To be brutally honest, I'm posting this so people will stop sending it in.

Thanks to the 120 (and counting) submitters!

New York Chicken Wings

Customer: What flavor is it?
Man: It's a bird mate, it's a bloody bird, it's not any bloody flavor. Albatross!
Customer: It's got to be some flavor, I mean everything's got a flavor.
Man: All right, it's bloody albatross flavor, it's bloody sea bloody bird bloody flavor. Albatross!
Customer: Do you get wafers with it?
Man: Course you don't get bloody wafers with it, it's a bloody albatross innit. Albatross!

Merci beaucoup a Mark Copyranter!

Felix Dennis: Possible Stray Layer

I kind of imagine the stream of consciousness to be like this: "Ooh I just have to do this back cover for Mr Dennis's book, it's about money, I know I'll use this stack of beer vouchers, oh it would be better if it was higher, ah if only the technology existed for me to take a picture of a taller stack of coins, oh well I'll just dupe it but ooh I don't want it to look like an obvious clone I know I'll flip it no one will ever know."

Funny, seeing as you might expect art directors to be falling over each other to design Felix Dennis' book. If you're unfamiliar with British coinage, pound coins have Harry Potter spells printed around the edge.

Taras ftw!

Tommy Hilfiger: I'm Stumped

What, run out of two-legged models or something?

Thanks to El Perro in Argentina!

Bangkok Dangerous: I Can Do That With My Hand Right Now

This poster started as Nick Cage pulls a gun and ended up as Michael Palin Eric Idle awkwardly scratches his armpit.

Props to Bob Hospyan! Bigger here.

How To Cheat In Photoshop By Reason Of Mental Illness

Believe it or not, this cover isn't a photograph! The book includes lessons on:

• Adding rough borders to cutouts
• Making people look as though they are an assemblage of pasted parts
• Shadows solve everything
• Necks are unimportant
  
• It is photorealistic if you close your eyes

Thanks to Andy C. If you don't believe the book is real, Amazon.uk has it here.

Bob Megleren: I'm Sure No One Noticed

This is the back of a bus in Bergen, Norway. Bob Megleren is some sort of realtor there. Be very careful if he asks if you have enough living space.

Unnerving translation: "We are ready... with 60 years experience... Bob Megleren - that's why."

Thanks to Ank!

GQ: Gentlemen Prefer Bobbleheads

In a move sure to surprise her fans, Gwyneth Paltrow has had her head removed and replaced with one twice as large. Paltrow, 36, waved to well-wishers as she left the GQ Photo Desk where the operation had taken place.

"I've always been interested in being an optical illusion" said the unnervingly disproportionate Iron Man star as she struggled to support her new giant cranium with her floppy limbs. "Beauty to me is being comfortable in your giant head."

Thanks to Brit!

Fanta: You Really Don't Wanta

You have to wonder if, at some point, the artist working on this actually realized what was happening and yet carried on regardless.

Foreshortening can be a tricky thing to get right. One minute your image is bursting out of the frame, the next you seem to have assembled a cast of deformed mutants. The strange thing is that the picture above is in order, from right to left: OK; a bit dodgy; a lot dodgy; freakish.

Here's a close-up of the last one. The shadow doesn't really help either.

Thanks to Will!

Channel 9: Australian iPhones To Run Windows XP

This kind of artwork screw-up is entirely understandable, considering how it is impossible to get real pictures of the phone, how Apple doesn't really have a graphics department, the language barrier, [insert more unlikely excuses here].

Thanks to Geoff and everyone else sending this in. In-depth snarking here.

Kroppsnara: Shops Out The Organ Stops

I'd understand this in the US, a country that is disconcerted about women even having nipples, but in Sweden?

Original is here. 10 points to Yvonne!

Photoshop World: Photoshop User TV Useless At Photoshop

Ah, inept reflections. At least it's only people who don't think they're any good at Photoshop who screw up, right? It isn't as if a lame reflection would appear on a big screen for Photoshop TV at Photoshop World, right? Right?

Thanks to Brian Purkiss!

Resident Evil: Zombies Give You Mumps

Art Director: Oi, have you comped those three birds together for that Reservoir Evil cover?
PS Grunt: Wot? Is impossible! The lighting is all different and stuff.
Art Director: Well that is wot Photoshop is for, you tard.
PS Grunt: Oh. Yes! I will make it totally different!
Art Director: And don't make her look like she has eaten all the pies!
PS Grunt: Ha ha, as if.

Thanks to Mike G.

Nordic Catalog Disaster

This Norwegian Danish Norwegian Canadian Danish catalog plays fast and loose with the juxtaposing and the cropping with delightfully regrettable results.

Thanks Ichonderoga, you're super-cool!
