LOL hahaha yeah why to trust on a healthy body image
@xXxlovelylollipop - Exactly. The funny thing is the same exact rules apply to videos. The models & actresses in advertisements for beauty products, the ones with seemingly perfect skin, are the result of strategic lighting, make-up & post-production polish, rather than exfoliating soaps & whatnots.
That was hilarious. I am still having a good laugh.
haha very funny!
WHAT’S WITH ME!?!? EVERYTHING SUCKS!!!
It was cool. It’s just…how long has Photshop been around? This parody is a couple of years too late, at least.
I’m such a grinch.
Wow, a really high-level production standards parody. I love the novel pronunciation of the company name. I remember one long night I spent in the 70s ‘retouching’ a hundred glossy promo photos for a band. Our drummer had quietly arranged a finger in the wrong configuration, and the photographer hadn’t caught it in time. With Foto-shot, I could have made the sucker look old, tired, diseased, and even ‘white’(!). Born too soon I guess.
Where do I sign up?
This is just sickening. I know its a parody, but this is a serious problem. Digital editing is ruining people and relationships and it needs to stop.
@angys_coco, @Peridot21 - The sad thing is, it’s probably the most honest ad I’ve seen. And I worked in an ad firm for ~8 years. -_-
@Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - Late? Yes. But not irrelevant. Especially now a days, what with all the digital post-processing magic used to polish any and every thing.
@jsolberg - Born “too soon”? Or ahead of your time?
@SarahC0828 - Ruining relationships…? I was aware of self image issues, but ruining relationships? And while the issue of distorted self image IS sickeningly sad, I think this parody does a good job of yelling “The emperor has no cloths.”
LOL Interesting. But, I’ll pass. I’m happy being imperfect.
Just more dishonesty to use in the media.
@Grannys_Place - No more or less honest than the people that use them. And to that extent, I think this ad gives a pretty honest outlook on the situation.
This was funny. Her skin feels like PLASTIC. OH WOW!
That was great. I need this product. Photoshop is expensive but not as expensive as Botox!
@ZSA_MD - I believe that would be the vector blur filter. It seems to turn up quite a bit over here. It’s an odd feeling when you look at someones’ “professionally done” and the first thing to go through your mind is “Okay… so they used a layer mask based on inverted highlighted edges and overdid vector blur like there’s no tomorrow.” :
@whyzat - You can always try free online photo editors, like pixlr.com Or try your hand at free offline photo editors like Gimp.
@Lakakalo - Not in a million years would I ever want my skin to feel like plastic. Thanks for the explanation though.
