Playboy: This Is Pointless!


Earth to Playboy Brazil: You are in the nipple business. Nipples are one of the reasons that people buy your magazine. People probably will notice if you airbrush them out.

Thanks to Marina and everyone else who sent this in!

Are nipples allowed on the cover of a magazine over there? I know nothing of the filters but maybe it was done to.. oh what am I saying? XD

salzano said...

nah, they won't notice

amandalikes said...

why not just cut out her boobs and leave the nipples. Or blur out her eyes. Why not?

LB said...

The sad thing is, many people buying this wouldn't even notice!

Pathetic.

Gabriel said...

I saw this "masterpiece" in magazine stores here (I'm from Brazil).

I'd like to know to know where's the quality of brazilian Playboys, that's not the first time they make a mistake like that. Do you remember taht once they made an "assless" model? hahaha...

Current Resident said...

Why would someone touch their tongue to a string like that? What is the point?

Deaf Indian Muslim Anarchist! said...

haha, another plastic worthless whore with no nipples. Typical.

popis said...

^
you've said it all.

Vincent B said...

Anyway, everything is fake in Brazil (plastic surgery speaking)

"Current Resident said...

Because they can't suck on their nipples!

goodfellow-puck said...

I do think this is a horrid cover with some definite airbrushing, but...

Aren't those her nipples lurking under the D's and A? There seems to be some skin color change that isn't necessarily shadow.

Personally I'm a little more weirded out by the torso adjustment and...well...the lighter-than-air fake boobies. Yikes.

crazy-gabrielle said...

Oh man. XD Heeheehee. Did you even see the shape of her boobs?

jedit said...

This isn't a disaster. "Overt" nipples are always airbrushed off covers everywhere on every magazine - it's a fact of life.

(And please, note that I'm usually quick to defend PSD on this front.)

me very happy said...

@goodfellow-puck: actually, the real nipples are inside the magazine (yes, they're so cheap they used the cover photo twice) so it is really that bad. NSFW << whole shoot.

@crazy-gabrielle: she got the implants just weeks before. it's like the pictures were taken on the moon...

Nancy said...

I'm more noticing the cavernous shadow under her left boob... and that cute little one under her right boob so it wouldn't feel left out, I guess...

fading in the sun said...

@me very happy

creepy photo shoot. those fake boobs are frightening. also, do Playboys normally use "models" with such severe tan lines?

Nimras said...

Her breasts seem to *cough* not be on speaking terms with the rest of her body.

Either that, or there has been great headway in the field of helium breast implants.

The Sophisticate's Diary said...

I don't get it. You have noticed the bright red text scrawled across the page, right? And you have looked at the original image that Me Very Happy posted a link to?
With the wonderful gift of sight (and a 2 minute PS experiment) I can guarantee the nips are under the text with no alterations.

spook said...

Adult magazines aren't allowed to have nipples on the front. They'll usually sensor them out with coloured circles/shapes, often making them skin toned so as not to be a distraction.

If they do have bare nipples, you'll usually find them inside plastic bags with an opaque area that blocks the lower 2/3rds.

So unless I've misunderstood something, I'm not sure this is a photoshop disaster...

Gonçalo said...

i'm brazilian, they are not allowed do show anythhing in front. the magazines can´t be sold to claild either and so on.
I don't know in US, but they are sold in markets here

what happened to this site? i used to see realy interesting mistakes, it's been a month i don't see anything good, usualy it's there is a good reason for what have been done

but i'm whaiting for some laughts =)

Thaís said...

@fading in the sun

Yes, most men here like tan lines.

And a problem with Playboy in Brazil is that they use anyone that has been popular on TV recently, especially on Big Brother (yeah, we have this crap here too), instead of calling really pretty girls who don't need so much PS. Go figure.

This might deserve a PSD all its own...

ewaffle said...

@fading in the sun

If you dig up some older issues of playboy--from the 70s, maybe, before they started showing labia majora, some of the models had such pronounced tan lines they looked like they had been run over by a road striping maching.

WV: foute

me very happy said...

@fading in the sun:

like Thaís pointed out, tan lines are almost mandatory.

underwater-looking boobs are optional, but she was a Big Brother contestant.

they either get implants before the shows starts, or right after they leave...

Nick said...

For those who say "it's not a disaster, they're not allowed to show nipples"... Why on earth would you design the layout of this cover, knowing that it would require alien boobies? That's the disaster.

Anonym said...

And here is the animation.

I pity the fool who thinks the nipples are airbrushed.

adler said...

and i pity you, you seem to have no job, no life, and way too much spare time.

still, her boobs are disaster.

Chloe said...

And her hands are soso tiny and dainty!

Têêê said...

nipleless bitch

Anonymous Midwest Girl said...

Even with the animation, they definitely cleaned up the boobs. Look at the shine/highlight on the right boob on the original image that's not there on the new one. They absolutely made some changes...and it looks to me like they smoothed out the nips a bit and then just tried to make it look like was covered by words. I feel like there should be a bit of protrusion between the DDs (of the words, not the boob size).

Anonym said...

adler:

I have a good job and a great life! Thanks for caring!

I'm pretty sure it took shorter time for me to load two images in photoshop and save as .gif, then for you to write that comment.

You seem to be a bit bitterish. But don't worry. I'm sure your life will sooner or later turn for better!

Renan Birck said...

Finding PsDs in Playboy Brazil is like making fun of that emo kid of your classroom.

Don't. It's just too easy.

macdaddy said...

I didn't realize anything was wrong as I only get the magazine for the articles.

gingercurls said...

Is it just me or is her head HUGE? The rest of her body is small, including her boobs, isn't that a no-no for playboy?

Some crazy anatomy going on here, PSD, most definitely.

So...if they can't put a naked woman on the front why they didn't put another picture instead of making a creepy photoshop disaster?
huh?

Blissful Builder said...

And if we can look away from her boobage for a moment, her right upper arm seems freakishly small, or maybe it is located 5 or 6 meters away from her body. Either way, it does not look right.

Isabelle said...

She put silicone 2 days before the photos ... She's ugly!

Eric said...

It's not a mistake. I'm from Brazil. Playboy is not allowed here to put niples at cover since(well, I don't remeber when but is new). The original one inside have niples. Search for Natalia Casasola Playboy cover... the same thing.. and others too

I find it somewhat amuzing. A Playboy magazine with a nude girl, showing of her boobs is Ok, as long as her nipples do not show?
Not much sense there I guess.
I am glad that here (in Sweden) pretty much anything, still is allowed on the covers. Not that I buy those magazines of course :)

talesofawellfedgraphicdesigner said...

People don't have nipples! What is this crazy-talk?

DoctorPcSolution said...

I think that is excelent picture and nice model and also is true they won't notice at all Wireless Cameras

Anna said...

well, there sure is something very wrong with her eyes...

Nat said...

Believe it or not, my cousin's wife's brother works as a graphic designer for this magazine. Ah, Rogerio. You're going to hear about this. Muahaha.

PLAY BOY MEANS WHO PLAYS WITH B'''S.
NOTHING SPECIAL ON COVER WITH SILICONS.....BRUSH IT BRIGHT....

Felipe Vaz said...

c'mon guys, she's from an ancient brazilian jewish sect.

all girls are circum-nippled when they're born.

I think they're required by the law to do that...

Fernanda said...

Have you seen the cover of the new brazilian Playboy magazine (july 2009)? It is even worse than this. They took a really fat model and tried to make a Marylin Monroe of it - without a leg and with metallic niples. It is really bizarre!!!

JCCyC said...

The sad thing is, men's magazines here used to be free to show nipples willy-nilly. Now there's this faux puritanism. Stupid.

Larwick said...

I'm pretty sure it's standard practice to shop out the nipples on front cover models, otherwise it's classed as porn or w/e and they'd have to have that plastic sheet over it.

Fabiane Luz said...

Não entendi o porque dessa imagem estar neste blog. Não há erros de photoshop. Tudo está muito proposital e no conceito da revista Playboy.

Acompanho este blog, mas está perdendo em meu conceito

Stacey said...

they're not allowed to put nipples on the front cover, not in the UK anyway.
