Scientists reveal newly cloned grass thriving on steroid-rich urine.

niamh said...

haha no left foot

David said...

Um... kneeling on the grass? My girlfriend can do that.

Christina said...

OMG... this made me laugh SO hard. Stumpy-legged sexy model... hahahaha

Blissful Builder said...

Her legs are not a PSD, she just sank up to her knees when she posed in a marsh. What is even stranger looking is how her head is connected to her neck. Looks like the head is slightly offset to her right.

Elizabeth said...

I kept scrolling down, thinking to myself, I can't really see anything terribly wrong with this one, maybe it isn't really...oh!

salzano said...

how dare PSD make fun of the disabled. unsubscribed.

unMuse said...

That's my sister!! I can't believe you guys are making fun of an amputee!!!!

/endsarcasm

unMuse said...

awww darnit. I was beat to it by a foot.

Macarro said...

What about her right half-sized shoulder?

Frog said...

yeah...what's with those scary growths on her leg?

Gwinna said...

I think we should all write letters to the editors of Natural Muscle and thank them for being brave enough to publish a woman with such an inspirational story.

Jeff said...

It could just be a very badly chosen pose that just happened to hide the lower leg behind the thigh. It might be awkward, but I think it is plausible. It's not as if models are never asked to do awkward poses.

DanH said...

just going to put this out there - could her calves and feet be perfectly obscured by her thighs, making this a real photo? again... just putting it out there...

Throb said...

Hey, give her a break, she is a bodybuilder. She just hasn't built her feet yet!

wv: hateds

Coco said...

Isn't that... a nipple under her left breast?

Caffeine said...

Looks like clone stamp artefacts where her right lower leg once was...

Steve said...

It looks a little off but again if 99.9% of people who look at this cover don't give it a second glance then it's hardly a disaster of any magnitude. Slow Photoshop disaster day, I guess.

Current Resident said...

Definitely some cloning in the grass between her legs. I'm thinking her feet may have been ugly, and the Photoshop artist may not have been skilled enough to make them look pretty. Also, her head looks a little too small like they cut around it and made it smaller in order to fit her whole head and body on the cover.

jeffronic said...

This is not a PSD.
I was assisting the photographer on this shoot.
We crazy glued the soles of her feet to her ass to get this pose.
Move along...
Nothing to see here.

it takes great quads to kneel on the grass like that with no lower legs!

Waldobaby said...

Just the s-l-i-g-h-t-e-s-t hint of a toe showing behind the thigh and there would be no complaint here.
Wouldn't a session with the weights by the Terminator be a killer dumbell workout?

Loner Gamer said...

It takes strong thigh muscles to pull that off for sure.

Susan said...

Heehee, anybody else reminded of those terrible Tim Conway "Dorf" videos? No? Okay I'm old, moving on...

There's also something really off about her entire upper torso and arms.

curvature said...

It looks like they decided to make her look like she was standing but didn't crop far enough at the bottom to hide her knee.
Terrible job cloning the grass around her thighs - one of them looks weirdly bow-legged because of the way they've contoured it.

Ebony McKenna. said...

I've just read the sub headings and now I'm worried about killer dumbbells.

Nilpferd said...

And what about her shrunken head?

That's two disasters for the price of one.

Kitty said...

This is what happens when you let the Jocks do your photoshopping.

talesofawellfedgraphicdesigner said...

The tag "inadvertent amputation" made me laugh more than the PsD.

Melissa said...

she looks homeschooled.

Mick Brown said...

It's not just the fact that her legs look stumpy, but that left leg has a nasty looking break in it as well. The things these poor models have to endure....

Jérem' said...

Holy Christ! Where are the legs? And what the hell is going on with the left shoulder? Wow, that's one hell of a big PSD! :)

morgedoid said...

nah, she probably just got some real ugly feet they dint want anybody to see so the chopped them out. probly.

wv : rehearmu (cow trial)

Stack said...

@Throb:
I'm laughting for 20 minutes because of you!
lol

Poor bodybuilder model...
=)

cattypex said...

I *heart* the "stripe o' clone" in the grass....

Adoniram said...

How are people not seeing the PSD here?! Are you blind? It's not just a "bad pose", take a look at the LANDING STRIP of clone marks between here legs. sheeeeeesh.

Mad Izatie said...

there's also cloning too abuse going on on the grass between her stub-for-legs.

##### said...

Something strange in this issue too?

Jolene said...

its just bad cloning... Are her feet not nice to be shown that they need to be cloned away with grass?

April said...

My favorite part about this site - people love to make up imaginary things that could be wrong when they completely MISS the real disaster. Aside from the cloning - nothing else is wrong.

NaiveAndTrue said...

Am I the only one who thinks that her entire torso looks akwardly stretched. . .

N. said...

Hmmm, very strange angle, nasty cloning between her legs; however its possible all they've done is removed her legs ... which they might not have even done ... but it is probable. Same goes for the weird bulging, shes a beef, so it could just be a muscle pushed slightly from kneeling ... I don't have much experience working with beefed models kneeling on grass so couldn't possible confirm/deny; but it does look weird.

Dunno what you guys are going on about when it comes to the shoulders/head; her head looks 'slightly' small cause it isn't beefed like her bod (you'll notice this with all body builders), also the angle of the shot is reeeaaly weird!

her shoulder is simply arched back and behind her hair, really nothing even slightly odd about that ... you guys have seen pictures of modes posing before right? note: Now I'm not saying there absolutely hasn't been any work done on her head/shoulders ... but if there has then its so minutely noticeable it cant possibly be confirmed. and barely warrants speculation :p Nudging a shoulder a few pixels out of the way isn't a crime.

But the clone stamping rubbishness is enough to qualify this ... The marketing guy at my work can do a better job than this and I only gave him a 5 minute lesson in the basics of cloning.

N. said...

@April ... tell me about it. Same goes for every entry on this blog :p

ThePenciler said...

DAYAMN! She's the hottest amputee I've ever seen. Awesome sense of balance too.

What? So I have a thing for amputees. So what? Don't judge me! :P

ThePenciler said...

@April Ummm... April, it's called humor. They know full well what went horribly, horribly wrong. Obviously the photographer sawed off her legs below the knee so she couldn't get away and would have no other choice but to pose like nothing horrific is happening. I think Hannibal Lecter took the shot. :)

Jesus~Freak said...

yeah, she was def born that way, LOL, wow they really screwed this one up.

anastasia said...

Oh my...

caitlyn said...

dude some of you are idiots if you don't get that shes just kneeling on the grass. not a photoshop error, but someone at the magazine should have pointed the possible misinterpretation before it hit print.
wow.

ThePenciler said...

Do you really take everything everybody says so seriously?

Some people should get the ban hammer just for not going along with it.

ThePenciler said...

And proof not everybody has a sense of humor. :P
