While the internet has given people the ability to share images of themselves and (apparently) the world around them, it's also give people the opportunity to attempt to alter reality with the handy dandy tool that is Photoshop. Or worse, budget programs that are meant to alter ones appearance on dating apps or Instagram. Blatant catfishing aside, the practice not only takes people for fools, but it reveals some seriously messed up insecurities. Or, in the case of retail websites and photographers, a seriously stingy practice of cutting costs. While we feel for those with crappy body image, we can't help but laugh at these arguably terrible attempts at suave photo editing. They're cringey. They're shoddy. And they're absolutely hilarious.
