Have you seen those ads on the internet (they were on myspace for a long while) that say "Is it real?" and show a picture of something outrageous like sharsk with human teeth (like the picture I posted with this discussion), or dogs with two legs.
I really hate those ads. I think they're so stupid and the pictures are just so awful- there should be fines for such photoshop use! w

YES some are offensive while some are inspirational like the dog with two leg which the owner loss hope of not surviving and later live and walk like human being is a lesson not to loose hope easily

While I agree those 'is it real?!?!?111oneleventyone' things are kind of irritating. I don't think there should be a fine or any other sort of punishment for playing with photoshop. Some of the things that have come out of photoshop and peoples crazy ideas are great. And in a good deal of those cases are testaments to just how skilled some of those people are. And a good deal of those pictures of cats or 'lolcats' which I presume you're referring to, are not in fact photoshopped. I'd jump on board and say bad attempts at photoshopping pictures together should be a crime but as I'm not particularly gifted myself and yet, quite enjoy shopping things I can't actually do that. :p As for some of jokes I find 'tasteless' well, it's not a crime for one persons sense of humour to not match someone elses. And as more often than not I'm the one who's sense of humours not in the same part of the city as the ballpark... I wouldn't wish it any other way.

They don't annoy me at all. I'm a photoshop user, and I enjoy trying to bring the impossible to other's eyesights. Is like creating fiction, and making it visible for our eyes.
The only ones that annoy me are the ones poorly made, as I'm a perfectionist.

People with any photoshop skill can combine pictures of just about anything. And that's what most of those pictures are. I have seen several 3 legged dogs, and even a 2 legged dog in person though. He was hit by a train, I believe. In central Ky, about a decade or so back. They called him Roadie and he was taken in by the vet who saved his life.
It depends on what they have photoshopped if I find it funny or annoying. Most of them are just annoying.
