I am a BAD BAD person for laughing at this as hard as I am.


Your dearly departed pet, in Bad Photoshop Heaven.

See, this is why I can't have nice things (like money). If I did, I'd be badgering them to do one of my dearly missed Marlowe taking a whizz on Jesus's robe or trying to shred the BVM's eyelids. Because he totally would. And it didn't mean he didn't like you.

Whereas I am horrified and disgusted -- I mean, would it hurt them to do good photoshopping for this? Bad photoshopping is just ... sad.

Check out their price list for that crap.

Aaaaand it just crossed the line into criminal.

I get the feeling these folks are toxically sincere.

::Sigh:: Yeah. Upon re-reading, I agree. Which really makes it worse, and I've looped back to "horrified".

I suppose if it fulfills a need for some poor, grieving soul ...? (Yes, that was definitely Aziraphale-like dithering you heard there.)

Actually, I think this is exactly the sort of thing that brings out Aziraphale's cynical and wicked side, and he might even now be planning a spectacular practical joke that involves a "candid" photo and a sob story about his poor departed pet snake...

And now all your loyal fans are waiting to read this .... ;]

I'm thinking maybe the presumption here is that "ability to correctly grade photoshop jobs in terms of quality" and "devout pet-loving sentimentality" are not traits commonly held by the same people. (Or possibly that anyone who knows enough about photo manips to identify the problems with these is probably capable of doing their own if they feel the need, or at least can find someone else who's better at tweaking images. Not Their Target Market, IOW.)
