A VISIT FROM KATE: Photoshopped and screwed


I have a softspot for news stories about bad photoshopping.  It happens all the time, but this one is hot off the press and I just... I don't know, I really like it.  The way they tried to match the angle, and tried to match the light with a big fake highlight on the right side of his head even though it was clearly never going to happen, and the way it seems like he's checking out the mom, and the fact that this guy probably works in the recreation department in Toronto and seems super juiced... it's great.  Plus the article has this choice quote from John Gosgnach, communications director for the social development division: "He superimposed the African-Canadian person onto the family cluster in the original photo..." Check it out!
