… Yesterday, TinkTrace (friend of T.C. from before it was T.C.) sent a link. I was horrified. A barely-food that’s $.06 cheaper to make and sold for $1 more makes my neurons misfire.
Then I saw the ad in the right column (need javascript turned off to see it). My horror evaporated (replaced by dismay). Context aside, this ad is amazing. It’s two frames of an animated GIF so terribly Photoshop’d as to be comedic gold (click for full-size):
Before and after (after/before?) drunk clone stamping.
Has anyone actually bought this shit? I mean, do they think this guy was ever obese? Has anyone seen image retouching? (Ignoring the person who retouched it, who obviously hasn’t.) Thanks the interweb gods it’s hidden. ::shudder::
… Wednesday, I met with a consultant about our marketing department. There’s been almost complete turnover (I’ve been here longer than all but one person) since I signed on and restructuring has been sort of interesting.
She explained some of our inadequacies as far as interweb’s concerned and was stunned when I (title: Interactive Designer) admitted to having almost no part in the strategy. We laughed… and laughed… and laughed… (more misfired neurons.)
