subscribe to our feedABC News is a respectable news organization, right? I thought so too. That’s why I’m mystified by the abundance of shockingly bad Photoshopped pictures on their website.
It’s been my hobby to collect these visual Frankensteins for the past few months. They range from simply poor in quality:
to tacky:
to just plain strange:
There are also not particularly subtle. If they have a story about money or the economy, they either frame an image with money:
or, better yet, just put a handful of Benjamins in front of said image.
I swear to you that all of these were taken directly from ABCs website. In fact, there was a gem featuring Obama and Hillary in clearly-Photoshopped cowboy hats (I believe it was for the Texas primary), but sadly, I cannot find it.
In fact, I’m not even sure Photoshop was involved. Given the images I’ve seen, it appears ABC executive gave a poor intern a set of safety scissors, a vat of Elmer’s glue, and an old flatbed scanner and let them go to town.
Finally, there are images that are so weird that I defy you to guess the story they accompanied.
Maybe I can get Flux Capacity to combine a bunch of images from abcnew.go.com together to give us all a terrifying vision of the ‘Alice in Wonderland’/Soundgarden-video world that ABC News lives in.
