Photo-shopped Failed!

The Ralph Lauren and that creepy Filippa Hamilton photo
Ralph Lauren, I’m pissed off at you.
((Filippa Hamilton, a former Ralph Lauren model whose body was digitally altered to appear thinner in an advertisment for the brand, has claimed that the company did not renew her contract because she was "too large."))
Model Filippa Hamilton found out that her services were no longer needed at Ralph Lauren after the whole photo-shop-gate. Here's where it gets a little creepy. RL release a photo that they severely altered in a Tokyo Mall. The promotional photo makes Hamilton look like either Plastic Man or Mr. Fantastic. I mean it looks down right cartoony. Who were they going to trick with this photo?
This goes into something deeper with the fashion and modeling industry. It is their force-feeding the public an image of ‘their’ prefect woman. In no way is this lovely woman too big for modeling. Hell, she looks pretty good to me. She's hot. I wouldn’t mind another ten pounds on her. I’m not sure where this notion started where these women models had to look like crackheads in order to sell overpriced clothing to begin with.
Then you have to wonder this; who exactly ordered the strange photo-shopped photo for that poster? I have my theories, but those theories will offend certain group, so I’ll keep them to myself. (If you know which group works in the modeling and fashion industry, then you know whom I’m hinting at, and I’m not talking about women.)
Here's RL's funny little statement,
((In a statement, the company said the "very distorted image of a woman's body" Hamilton's was "mistakenly released" and displayed in the Japanese department store.
On Tuesday, Polo Ralph Lauren released a statement that read: "We take full responsibility. This error has absolutely no connection to our relationship with Filippa Hamilton," who is a "beautiful and healthy" woman. ))
Then why did you changed the photo to that extreme?
