"The first time we did this..." Remind me when you offered $10,000 for pictures of Faith Hill or anyone else.

Right. And since then, we have seen numerous untouched versions of magazines. I've lost interest in this non-scandal. To be quite frank, if I were famous and on a cover of a magazine, I'd actually prefer if they DID touch up my shots a bit (mostly my dark undereye circles). We all know these images are retouched, stop…
Yep, you guys are heroes! Jezebel- exposing women's flaws so that we can talk about them under the guise of body image since 2005! (Or whenever). Maybe you should, oh I don't know, accept that Lena and every other woman have a right to do what they want with their own pictures and their own bodies.
So the conversation has already been started, but feel free to pile onto a woman who is already constantly berated for what she looks like. HOW EMPOWERING, Jez. Do you feel good about yourselves? 10 fucking thousand dollars. Donate it to a battered women's shelter. Do something USEFUL for once.
Don't waste time trying to justify this BS. Y'all need to be formulating your official apology.
Word. This is gross.
Jezebel, I used to think of you as a feminist blog, but now I'll just consider you yet another woman-hating blog. How would posting these photos help you, women, feminism in any way? You are only contributing to a real body-hating culture. This is not about holding Vogue accountable—we can see right through you. It's…
Instead of shaming vogue, or photoshop, or lena, you have only managed to shame yourself Jezebel. deeply disappointed in what I like to believe is a constructive, feminist space.
I've been a longtime reader, never commented before. This shit here, though, finally compelled me to post. This is supposed to be a website dedicated to celebrating women. We all know Vogue has a history of altering images, and you very handily provide a list of previously photoshopped covers. So why this cover? Why…
There is something creepy about this. It's almost like you just want to humiliate Lena Dunham. The bounty makes it extra creepy.
Copy editors cost money. It's not like they just have ten grand laying around to— oh.
Also wik, Jezebel has their own heads up their vaginas if they think anyone's falling for the "this is about Vogue" defense. Jezebel practically invented the "'GIRLS' is the GREATEST THING IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING!!!" clarion, but now that their Feminist Saviour has turned out to be a real cunt, they're out for…
How much did you pay for an unspellchecked, unGoogled guess at the name of Annie Leibovitz, one of the most famous photographers in the world?
They are not Vogue employees that need to steal the photos. Most likely, it's Box Studios that did the retouching work so you should probably start there. She owed them a lot of money so they might not be doing her work anymore.
Blarg, this is the most transparent bit of concern-trolling I've seen. This isn't about "what vogue does". You've already listed seven examples of "what vogue does". This is about Jezebel's issue with Lena for being a privileged white girl and writing from that perspective. But seriously, what better way to…
You guys are the absolute worst. You say this has nothing to do with Lena Dunham and you'd never bodysnark, but just a few days ago there was a post with a link to an older post where Dodai said "So and so looks more busted than usual, I'm sorry to say."
How about you just give the $10,000 to me? I have a bunch of bills to pay.
