If you're photoshopping a politician into a photograph, the golden rule is to only photoshop them in once.
I'm a bit short on details for this one; please feel free to play detective. Thanks to Flo and everyone else who sent this in!

Twins?
Ah, one is a Burgermeister and the other is Landtagsabgeordneter
He's a double-cheeseburgermeister.
I'm sorry, but I can't see the images in two-thirds of the posts here, quite possibly because I'm using AdBlock with Firefox.
Would it be possible to post direct URLs to the original images as well?
They placed the same guy twice, mentioned his name twice in the caption, and even put different jobs for them! Hehehehe!

Too bad I can't read German! :P
Obviously not a disaster. Herr Kasser is standing in front of a large photograph of himself visiting the Hausbergers' inn. Massive fail, lame, unsubscribing.
well, either they're TWINS, or that's a cardboard cut-out of that guy.
It's not a Photoshop disaster... this blog is getting more lame everyday.
That picture is from a religious publication. That explains the miracle!
ah, trasnlate the german blog post into english for some entertainment :)
He has two jobs (mayor and senator) so he gets two spots in the photgraph. Sounds fair to me.
My Burgermeister can do that.
My beer goggles can do that
lol!!! OMG I think that's every Graphic Designer's nightmare: you do such a great job.... then, when they print it, there is it! you made such a great job... TWICE! hahaha!!!
I think the best is that he has exactly the same clothes in both shots.
BTW. Wiki says he doesn't have a twin:

The other one is just a doppelganger, thats all. No biggie.
Neither my Burgermeister nor my Landtagsabgeordneter can't do it!
That kind of reverses the old pity plea that goes "I'm so busy I need to be in two places at once."
He's so Austrian he needs to be in two happy hours at once.
Can't you imagine some poor artiste trying to tell the boss that the first dude was a cardboard cutout?

right click adblock's red stop sign and you can disable it for Blogger.
Very long timelapse photograph and everyone else is dead.
To everyone who has said "twins, not a PSD" - please unsubscribe from life. Who would have identical twins, then give them both the SAME NAME?
Up the wrists, BTW, not across.
Nice one. But it was actually meant as a joke, based on the fact that the guy was representing the offices he's holding.

Actually, it's always easy to claim a joke AFTER everyone is complaining! :) If they REALLY wanted to be funny they would have at least mentioned this in the article!
This is a 'stitched' 360 degree panorama that went too far; actually the photographer took more than one full round of pictures, and then Photoshop sew them together and made this out of it. Photoshop may be clever with these automatic features, but it is still not intelligent. You see the guy twice, but it is the same guy in the same scene, only from a slightly different angle (he also raised his arm between the shots). This is actually very clever Photoshop work, only too much of it. Typically a thing my girlfriend would do.

in short words: it was a joke in a beer mood. the guy was there in two functions (bürgermeister and landtagsabgeordneter), and the photographer asked him after a first photo to do another one, which was added to first one.
Very interesting;:
"FOTO: HUDLER"
"hudeln" is a german slang expression (especially in Bavaria).
To "hudeln" means to do something in a sloppy way.
If you "hudel", you are a "Hudler".
In this context, the image is self-explanatory.
If you drink enough, you'll see double.
Mmmm, burger...meisters.
This clearly isn't a disaster, duh, he's just a wizard who's cast 'mirror image' on himself as a safety precaution. It's like a second level spell, guys!
President of Poland can do that.
Here I stand (here I stand...)
Look around around around around
(Around around around around...)
But you wont see me (you wont see me...)
Now I'm here (now I'm here...)
Now I'm there (now I'm there...)
I'm just a just a new man
Yes you made me live again
(yeah, a Queen song)
WV: Unsdista. As in "Uns! Dis ta verhovatten und gerplukheit Überholfftasse!
Even if it's intentional (c'mon, you CAN'T miss such a thing) it can be a disaster. In the sense of PR that it brought.
For some reason I can't send PhotoshopDisasters an e-mail myself, so I was wondering if somebody would send in this link from the Swedish News site Dagens Nyheter for me?

I was working with a black hole that week and the photons in that precise pub were under the mirroring effect of the giant gravitational lens we created. Don't you people even think before you comment on this site? Obviously this is not a Photoshop Disaster. This blog is going downhill and the latest posts have been lamer and lamer blah blah blah blah
Duh who care he have a clone maybe it a Mini-Me or a small owl. This fial, unsubscribering.
Okay, shoot me. I had to do it!!!
@mike,
Why don't you just turn off Adblock and turn it back on then?
Also, 99% of the time, this blog DOES post direct URLs to the original images. It seems that this was a scan.
"jedit said...

Maybe George Forman?
Priceless!! :)
Love the magic levitating keg positioned in the precise center of the image.
I have heard of politicians that do public appearances on their normal working hours, sends one bill to the state/community clerks and another bill to the PR firm organising the event, while possible wiggling some favors from the media covering the event.
This guy manages to do this one step further.
I think I drank too much
"He's a double-cheeseburgermeister."
Hahahah! :D
I was wondering about the levitating keg as well, but there are possible explanations for it, like a brace from the back or a strap that's not very visible in the grainy photo.
So the person who wrote the caption obviously saw the problem but didn't do anything about it except list the guy with a different title? Weird!
The levitating keg is the centerpiece of the picture and it is probably on a shelf we can't see or it is attached to the bar in some way.
wv:surieset
could be twins because of 2 different jobs. or it's heck of a big state/city that the guy is mayor and state representative
franzi
doppelt-toll
Cool... Calvin's "Transmogrifier" must have finally been invented. I can't wait to go rinking in two pubs at the same time!
Not only twins, but the barrel is also floating in the air.
Well, maybe this guy is both the mayor and and the Landtagsabgeordneter (there is no english word for that that I know of, so... yeah. The most fitting would be something along the lines of "Member of the parliament"...) and his two positions require him both to show up on this event. So he shows up. Twice!
You morons! You've captured their STUNTMEN!
Didn't they do this on Scrubs already? xD
them chermans all look alike to me.
How very very odd.
AmyLyn: Is'n it an austrian newspaper? Austria =/= Germany ;)
