Respectfully, if you guys have something specifically against Vogue then it would be great if you would just write up a big retrospective piece. The more you make this about Lena Dunham and effectively force her to respond to this—which no matter how you slice it is a direct discussion about her body that invites a

Jez,

Admit it, Jez. You were wrong.

I don't find any of these changes offensive at all. Actually, it's sort of offensive that Jezebel was so convinced Lena couldn't actually look that good without heavy photoshopping.

HuffPo response to this all:

I say this with 100% sincerity...

Thank you for being real (not like, "Jennifer Lopez Real", but REAL REAL). You always just say it like it is. THANK YOU.

Love,

A greyyyyyyyyyy.

Did you know Titanic was filmed in front of a green screen? OMG THEY WERN'T EVEN REALLY IN THE OCEAN! STOP THE PRESSES!

Well done. Truly a great victory for feminism.

The worst part if the tag this post is under: Photoshop of horrors.

I bet you guys were hoping for something much more dramatic.

The $10,000 reward suggests they thought the images would be shockingly, outrageously edited, and worth an ~expose~ about how women like Lena aren't allowed to appear in their natural glory. The actual minor retouches, and grasping at "but this is still a lesson, kids!" are kinda womp-womp.

Honestly? Let's imagine that I paid personally for a set of photographs of myself. All the minor alterations done here I'd want done to myself. In particular, the image of her sitting on the edge of the tub shows a garish angle to her boobs. The cut-and-paste is a little more modest and nicer looking. Not that showing

Pretty much all of your heavily contributing, years old veteran commenters pretty much agree: this was a bad idea.

Wow. This is the ultimate in concern trolling.

It also looks like Dunham and Driver were pasted into an intersection in front of Manhattan's Flatiron building. A shot we received shows her in a similar pose on his shoulders — but not in the same location. Doesn't matter — Vogue puts you where it wants you to be!

You know, I don't find this all that objectionable, as far as retouching usually goes. Did they actually pay $10,000 to get ahold of these?

I was most curious to see the bed picture, which seemed to be the most altered.

Most food banks are able to turn $1 into 9 meals for people who are currently going hungry. Hope you got your 90,000 meals worth with this stupid clickbait.

Well, well. That backfired, didn't it? With the exception of the pigeon and some mild fixings on the dresses, not much else happened.

Speaking of Bieber, he may be deported back to Canada.
