We mean it, by the way. It really does work. 100%.

Fotoshop by Adobé from Jesse Rosten on Vimeo.

But it isn’t real and nor is the result you get when you use it.

Jezebel reported:

“This parody ad for “Fotoshop” cosmetics comes to us from filmmaker Jesse Rosten. Rosten says, “I was watching TV one sleepless night and stumbled upon an infomercial for some beauty product. The commercial showed before and after portraits, that to my eye, looked like the same photo just photoshopped. I laughed to myself. Then I made this video.” The commercial isn’t real, he points out, “and neither are society’s standards of beauty.” You should probably watch the video — there’s like a Photoshop of Horrors greatest-hits in the middle — before the Adobe company’s lawyers send the inevitable cease-and-desist.”

    there is this informercial for some exercise product, where they show how someone lost weight with that, but it’s so obvious that it’s photoshopped(person looks overweight in one photo and in the other literally like half the person-much narrower). unbelievable.
    great video.

      I think I know the one you mean – the dark haired woman looks like her original photo has been stretched horizontally. And the after one has been stretched vertically.

    Somebody needs to look up the words “regime” and “regimen” in the dictionary……

      I always think of a short guy with a moustache in a military uniform making decrees about putting on moisturiser!

    Anyone else notice the irony of the MM “Opinonators” link for the cellulite cream on the right hand side of the page? ;)

    This is brilliant! such a fun spoof of the beauty world and their miracle products! “Maybe she’s born with it…ugh I don’t think so!” How long before a list of companies sue?
