Okay. This has been bothering me for a while now, so I decided to share.
This is a promo picture for "In Plain Sight", and please, somebody tell me:
( What is wrong with this picture? )
That is one bad Photoshop job. Seriously, they took out her leg so she'd look THINNER? She looks WEIRD. Instead of the normal hot-ass Mary, we get a one-legged teetering person. Surrounded by grass that's shaped like a woman's leg. (And Marshal Marshall Mann.)
*facepalm*
Seriously, I hate that it's been standard practice to Photoshop the reality out of women for years now, but it's getting ridiculous. No wonder so many women think they'll never look good - they have this to compete with.
I mean, seriously. Check this out. It is creeping me right the fuck out.
None of this, of course, is new or ground-breaking territory in terms of, you know, ranting, but it gets me seriously pissed off, and so I had to share.
In conclusion: I would like my women to be recognizable as women, regular arms and all. And, you know, possessing both their legs. If at all possible, of course.
