This is what happened if you bought the wrong coffee
Did the ad copy REALLY say that?
Yeah, right, just how stupid do the advertisers think we are?
They actually published this?
What every young American child should have!
So we finally discovered what women REALLY want
Kentucky, eh?
The latest discovery in baby drink
In minutes? Not seconds?
They really published this?
A pedophile ad for DC-8s!
The closed eyes are perfect, how else to apply lipstick. Suggestive? No ......

Who looks like this?

Oct 112011

Ever notice that cosmetics ads use images where the contrast is cranked up to max. Doing this ensures that no real facial features are ever visible – features such as pores, pimples, blackheads, fuzz, wrinkles, etc. Only the makeup is highlighted. Also, the actor acquires an otherworldly appearance that would not be possible without the technical trickery.

Remember the Julia Roberts ad that was pulled because it had been doctored to such a high degree that she was barely recognizable?

Moral of the story – you will never never never look like the people in the cosmetics ads, because that’s not how those people really look anyway.
