[Leica] Semi-OT: Cyndi Lauper in today's "Parade"

[pklein at threshinc.com (Peter Klein)]

"Parade" magazine is a little magazine that is included with many Sunday 
newspapers in the U.S.  Today, on Page 2, there is a horrible 
"photograph" of pop singer Cyndi Lauper. I put the word "photograph" in 
quotes because it appears that they pasted a overly large head from one 
photograph onto the (very busty) body of another. The angle each was 
taken from appears different. There is a line around her neck which is 
real, but it makes the head transplant even more apparent, and making it 
appear that Ms. Lauper had a recent close encounter with a garrotte or 
guillotine.

Yes, it's naive to expect any kind of honesty from a celebrity publicity 
photo, but this one is so bad that I'm surprised that it was ever 
printed. Standards are down all over. Photomontage is not photography!

Thank you.  I feel better now.
