WTF is wrong with this?






I was at the library the evening of Wednesday, April 15th studying for my exam the following day. The library is now my second home - I mean what more could you ask for? Unlimited access to books, periodicals, DVDs, etc. You just have to remember to bring it all back or else you'll suffer late fees, but what's so difficult about that? Hhmm....you'd be surprised how most people forget LOL

I came across this Lacoste ad from Glamour magazine and saw a few problems I had with it. The two front and center models are, of course, not a minority. BUT THE OTHER TWO THAT WERE CUT OFF ARE!!! They couldn't have moved the fan?! Or cropped it to ensure everyone is shown?!?!?!

Our current technology will allow us to photoshop and crop until the editing looks decent. You see most of these models, actors, pseudo actresses on the magazine covers photoshopped to death to make sure their imperfections aren't obvious.

If they had removed that fan and showed everyone appropriately, I wouldn't be so infuriated. Am I simply overreacting or is this an issue that should be addressed by Glamour magazine or Lacoste???
