What's Wrong With This Woman?

Of course it's a trick question.

So what is wrong with the appearance of Victoria Secrets model Selita Ebanks to the right? Well according to Victoria Secrets, a lot. Below is the list of changes they made to her image before they used it to sell clothes in the picture below:

  • Face completely recolored
  • Mouth digitally enhanced - brightened teeth
  • Eyes digitally enhanced - lightened eye color
  • Right arm recolored and arm flab reduced -- see right above the elbow
  • Chest digitally enhanced by a cup size and nipples removed
See the interesting and rather technical analysis on the Secure Computing blog. As they say at Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) meetings, there is no accounting for tastes.

This puts the success of the Avatar movie in a whole new light. Which reminds me, I wanted to blog about why napalm was apparently no longer available in the year 2154.
