Truth In Ad-Busting: Photoshop Interface Stickers

Upon meeting anyone remotely famous, it’s remarkable how very different they look from their glossy magazine spreads. Most of the time, it’s just wrinkles and slight imperfections that get the treatment, along with the standard warming filter that eliminates the sallowness of “civilian” skin tones.

Then, there is the case of Britney Spears, who is perhaps the single, most-Photoshopped celebrity out there today. Nothing is off limits when it comes to artificially maintaining Spears’ inflated sense of worth, so, thanks to talented digital artists, elongated trunk, limbs, and neck miraculously appear, along with with a quickie liposuction and contour job of all exposed flesh, and, finally, a complete overhaul of her face structure. The girl is virtually unrecognizable in comparison to her promotional photos, posters, and album covers, and people totally buy into it. Well, almost everyone does, but for the bitchiest of critics, including some clever graffiti-sticker artists who paid a visit to the Berlin subway tunnels recently. Ad-busted!
