Target Apologizes for ‘Thigh Gap’ Photoshop Fail

[Teh One Who Knocks]

ABC News

It appears that Target went a little too far with Photoshop in an ad for a girl’s bathing suit.

The model in the ad has a thigh gap, the gaping space between her legs and a worrying body trend among teenage girls. But the gap actually extends into her pelvis (and the bathing suit the ad aims to sell) in an apparent slip of the Photoshop eraser.

“It was an unfortunate error on our part and we apologize,” Target spokesman Evan Miller told ABCNews.com. “We removed the image from the site and we’re working to get a new image up there.”

Several bloggers captured the Photoshop fail before the image was removed.

“If it weren’t part of an ongoing attempt to mold unrealistic bodies in fashion marketing, it would almost be funny,” The Ethical Adman wrote on his blog.

The model was also missing part of her hip and ribcage.

that's the only thing I miss from the YMCA, they had a great leg abductor/adductor machine there


...the other bit that makes for good shape is some focus on the tensor fascia lata (but that's lateral side not medial)...fkn shaolin horse stance training is gold ;)

[Muddy]

I go to the Y and try and peek at the adductor machine when I can.. :d

If you reach 155 I want you to put on the baller jeans and I'll come down there and bone you

[PorkChopSandwiches]

I stopped smoking cigs, I didnt smoke that much anyway so not that tough for me. My wife is trying the ecig, but I keep catching her buying cigs. I dont think those ecigs are anyway to quit, just possibly less harmful.

If you reach 155 I want you to put on the baller jeans and I'll come down there and bone you

Now I have a GOAL!

[Hal-9000]

[PorkChopSandwiches]

My brain will force me into insanity if I don't burn a little

[Muddy]

[FBD]

hum...I've smoked a couple different ties in my life, and when I've had enough, I just dont buy anymore. last time took me longer because I discovered those american spirit organic ones, and I actually liked 'em, werent just a nic blast. last time I started smoking when I realized I was going to get divorced and stopped right around divorce time. :lol:

I have had the occasional hanging out smoke. Golfing with a buddy that smoked, I had one a couple weeks ago. I would say since new years I have had 10 max. All when I have been drinking and hanging out with smokers :oops:
