CBS News Confesses To Couric’s Photoshop Diet

At least they came clean...

A CBS spokesman said "the editorial staff of Watch magazine retouched the photo without the knowledge of Katie Couric or CBS news management." But the staff consists of "CBS' own communications department," John Higgins notes.


...sort of. I'm not buying that Couric didn't know about this. I think Couric probably requested it. Why else would anyone at CBS have done this other than to bow down to their new star's ego?

"Through a spokesman, Couric says that she prefers the original photo 'because there's more of me to love...'"


Whatever, Katie.

I figured they’d admit it.  It’s not like it wasn’t an obvious change.  Great workmanship, but not subtle.

People photoshop pictures of stars all the time. (I saw a special on VH1 all about it…and VH1 don’t lie.)

And how is this “bowing down to Couric’s ego”? I don’t think women find it very flattering to be told they are too fat for men to find “sexy,” so they’ve decided to digitally alter their picture to make her appear more attractive so men can objectify her for her looks.

I haven’t tried it personally, but it seems really unlikely.

Ok ok, but in the reverse direction, did someone add another stone to Jennifer Love Hewitt, or is she really bucking the Hollywood trend toward bulemia?

I think Ms. Hewitt looks great in that picture.

On a very fundamental, primal level…I feel the urge to mate with her.

Must be the hips.


The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

Poor photo mostly.  Ms. Hewitt is stepping forward with the right leg, making her hips an legs look heavier. She does have a nice figure though.  Not the Twiggy look that’s in fashion again.

She looks better than she used to! As y’all already know, I ain’t into the skeletal deathcamp survivor look that has been all the rage for about 30 years. That picture does not look quite right, though. As if it were a digital image that was compressed, shortened to fit a smaller frame size, but left at the original width.

I tell ya, one girl that I think looks great with a few extra pounds is Kate Winslet.

Talk about a primal urge to mate.

/me has tried photoshopping her body to make it look like her breasts are larger. Often being told that I’ve been underdevelopped for a long time, I have the urge to get larger breasts and a smaller waist. People just say I’m too stick-like and lack curves. I believe the hormones in chicken have increased everyone else’s breast size except mine…because we know that everyone likes a C these days on a 28 inch waist.

That reminds me of a story:
A woman had her husband cheat on her and found out. Her husband said that she should get plastic surgery, so she went out and got plastic surgery to look like the girl the her husband was with. Her husband then divorced her.

People are jerks.

I am truly shocked! I believed every picture I saw was the absolute truth! I was told a long time ago that the camera never lied and now it appears that just like jacking off would make me blind and crazy, this is untrue. Who can you believe nowadays?
