I found a digg post today that lead to some other interesting videos. They all show just how far (and absurd) photo retouching is, and how totally unrealistic pretty much every photo is that you see.

I’m especially fond of this photo of Glenn Feron on the site originally linked from digg. That gal is quite lovely on her own and the only thing wrong with that photo is the quality of the photographer, yet look at what they do to her in photoshop. The results look far from even being natural!

Not only do they inject her butt with silicon but they also break her foot. How can these models not be angry about this, or do they simply have no say in what happens with their photos?

In other pictures on that site you can see where certain deliberate tatoos were removed. They appear to be of a tribal nature and removing them - in my opinion - takes away the original intention and thus the beauty of the photos.

At any rate, those videos and pics are things that everyone should see. Especially young girls.
