Stop using Photoshop! I mean it! We can all tell when you're doing it! It's fucking ridiculous! First all those Lebanon photos, and now Katie Couric!

Stop! It makes the news (in this case, a news network) look completely fake!

If you wanted a skinnier woman, put Couric on a fucking diet!

Now, there are only two explanations for why CBS would want to alter the photo.

1. Katie was unhappy because she thinks she is fat and asked for the picture to be altered.

2. CBS thinks Katie is fat and altered the photo.

It turns out that CBS altered the photo without telling poor Katie. So they must think she's fat.

Stop paying her so much, and maybe she'll stop putting food in her piehole!

Is anybody else creeped out here of the four images of Couric all similing at you?

I wear welding goggles, for just such an occasion.

I don't understand - how can television pictures be Photoshopped?

The grin is a little Jack Nicholson Joker. Which is creepy.

These were publicity stills.

makes you wonder where they draw the line on what they alter

Ah.

Well, that's hardly limited to the news organisations. Wasn't Kate Winslet pretty pissed off with a magazine a couple of years ago for something similar?

Yes, but I can't tell what kinda "creepy" it is... either it's the matriarchal totalitarian "LISTEN AND OBEY, MY CHILDREN!!!", or she's like that chick from F.E.A.R., or Ringu...

I noticed that they didn't splice Katie's head onto this woman:

I've never seen a man with such big tits.

It needs to stop. It's ridiculous.

Oh, undoubtably, but at least it's only a woman's weight this time, not the faked destruction of entire cities.

Ick. You find her attractive?

It needs to stop. It's ridiculous.

You kidding just about every wedding photo is touched up in some way shape or form

Skin blemishes coming out … hair that wisped over the face removed, my gf owns a photography studio … this is industry standard for any hired photographer


I mean this seems a bit much to me they usually don’t alter like this but still small alterations, where do we draw the line?

Ick. You find her attractive?

For starters, she's got a hotter body than Katie Couric.

Keyra Augustino.

Ok, if they Photoshopped Katie's head onto this woman

I wouldn't complain.

Even better, fire Katie, and get Keyra to read the news. I'm sure ratings would skyrocket.

Keyra Augustino.

You mean Keyra Augustina? I'm pretty sure she's not a man... :D


And yes.
