I'm still waiting for my Will Forte edition Kia Forte

I think it's less that "we need to talk about how Photoshop can be pernicious" and more "Jezebel does a REALLY bad job of talking about Photoshop", especially with the whole Lena Dunham thing. Personally, while I struggled a bit with wanting to look like a movie star when I was younger, my big issue has always been…

What the fuck? Fuck this guy! Only 21 years? He should get life or hanged by his balls.

And he gets video games? Fuck him. He shouldnt get shit but a white room with a mattress. Fucking asshole has the gall to whine about not having a PS3 when he is even allowed to live.

Be grateful you can still breath you stupid fuck.

This guy can suck a dick.

I'm just glad this isn't another smarmy fucking Dove campaign.

First of all, they're not celebrating their 50th anniversary. It's the 50th swimsuit issue, just like someone might celebrate the anniversary of their Fashion Week issue or Super Bowl issue or whatever. The magazine itself has been around for 60 years.

It's hard to have the message reiterated when a lot of us are only thinking about the $10,000.

This is a very interesting article, but I'm not certain how these are all "debunked by science". What we have here is not science, but the opinions of authority. This can be informative, but considering it as evidence isn't science, it's a logical fallacy called "the argument from authority".

If you show people candid photos of themselves in a normal setting with some distance, it can be surprising/jarring. Why? Because we're only used to seeing ourselves in the mirror up close.

Do Lena Dunham next!

Could we please try these experiments with people that aren't already lovely with excellent bone structure??

Jezebel. I really think you just need to sit these Photoshop stories out for a little bit, y'know? Just let them go by for a few months. Sit by the pool in a nice lounge chair and tan for a bit before diving back into the deep end.

If by "regular women" you mean skinny, mostly white women...sure!

How often do you pick up and read Sports Illustrated?

Try looking at the magazine the other 51 weeks a year and you will find them.

I've read this story a few times and either my snark-meter is out of whack or this is a story about the SI Swimsuit issue that's not slamming the idea of an SI Swimsuit issue.

So, what's the bounty on un-Shopped versions of this?

There are 52 covers a year. 1 features models. 51 feature athletes. So, no, they shouldn't change their name to Boobies or Butts Illustrated.

Nah, because for 51 weeks a year, they deal with sports exclusively. That their most famous issue has to do with nearly naked females is a reflection of our society, since that is less than 2% of their total output.

I think it's because of the other 52 weeks of the year.
