Photoshop of Horrors

The Telegraph tells of a gruesome airbrushing accident:

While his body and head were successfully removed, the photo editors forgot to erase one of his legs, which was left dangling at the back of the boat.


And speaking of disembodied limbs and digits, a picture of the 2008 US Olympic team showed:

. . . three black fingers resting on the shoulder of swimmer Maritza Correia. The identity of their owner, who had been erased from the picture, was never made clear.


You don't suppose they belonged to the man who was pasted into the photo on the front of the Toronto Fun Guide? After all, they only used his face, so maybe one of his hands was left somewhere else.

It's one thing to dismember people photographically -- it's another to change their race to something more "acceptable".
