There are a lot of things that simultaneously make me giggle a bit and also make me ridiculously angry and sad because of the stuff they're making fun of. This is one of those things. (i wonder what the people who first made photoshop think of this sort of use of it)

Welp, I guess you can't help how people use your product. Feel sorry for Adobe for getting a bad rep in all this.

I don't think of it as bashing Adobe at all; it's a satire of those commercials and how they market their products. It does a great job of mocking the beauty industry itself, but one of the things I find most hilarious about it is that until watching this, I hadn't consciously realized how the voices of the women who narrate these ads all sound exactly the same.

Now that you mention it.... Wow. It's like the movie announcer guy. And what you're saying reminds me of what I was thinking when I saw a commercial trying to sell whitening strips. Apparently white teeth will make your ex-boyfriend jealous and want to take you back. |

Yes.
Yes this is excellent.
Yes. Keyboard smashing. Can I just steal this and show it to everyone I know that struggles with body image? This is perfect.

It's so realistic; it's almost sad that the mocking of the beauty industry could look so much like an actual commercial.
