How does one John Malkovich, exactly?
Well, obviously. Seriously, though, kudos to you for figuring that out.
I think the last four words are supposed to be the beginning of the first paragraph.
This is ODB MLK, and i don't know how you all see it, but when it comes to the children MLK is for the children.
All due respect Dodai, I thought the point being made back then was that Faith Hill is already a conventionally beautiful woman, and they still felt the need to Photoshop her - that was the shock factor that garnered so much publicity and started a much-needed conversation.
That article was huge and landmark in pointing out the issues with photoshop. It started a dialogue and that was crucial. It brought a lot of people to this site, people who have been devotees ever since. We all know this now though. You did a great job showing us (the photoshop of horrors series was always great).
The 2007 post is a general call for un-retouched photos as a collective effort to point out ridiculous magazine standards. This is a very specific call-out for a female actress because you know un-retouched photos of Dunham will be better clickbait than, say, Mila Kunis. Also, this isn't 2007. You aren't a fledgling…
"Lena, we'll also extend this offer to you, if you want to submit them yourself"
Isn't ten grand the entire, collective salary of the Jezebel staff? Don't you guys have to eat this month?
Seconding @NiamhSidhe's endorsement and sentiments: this is fucking brilliant and has made my day.
In the interest of finding a silver lining to this stunt, at least GM isn't asking readers to pay the bribe this time?
Remember that time Nick Denton said he wanted Dov Charney and his ilk to become Jezebel commenters, so he changed the whole commenting system so that it wasn't a hostile place for that?
I found an unretouched picture of the dog, please send $100 to me at Gawker.
"This is about Vogue, and what Vogue decides to do with a specific woman who has very publicly stated that she's fine just the way she is, and the world needs to get on board with that. Just how resistant is Vogue to that idea?"
I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money...but screw that, surely you can find some more worthy cause to give $10,000 to!
Or you could take that $10,000, Jezebel, and donate it to a worthwhile charity.
