That postcard is so incredibly bad I would snap them up like hotcakes to send to my friends.

At least my PS skills are better than that. Crap.

I can't put my finger on it, but that sun doesn't look real.

It's shopped. I can tell because who would sit next to a pool wearing pajama pants?

Meh, the pixels look fine to me, and I've seen a few shops in my time.

A friend from high school lives there. I've asked her to check into this, see if there really are abnormally huge people staying there..

That's a huge biatch.

Of course it is. That garbage can on the middle of the right edge -- the WasteMaster 5000 by Trashtech -- wasn't offered for sale in foreign markets until 2009. SO blatant.

What's up with the gay pride flag on the top right?

We'll take the Spanish, British, Germans and Gays, but we don't want any Irish!!

Well they've got a pool*. Do they also have clean rooms and HBO?

*not guaranteed to be free of leaves or algae

I've just looked at this place on Trip Advisor - I highly recommend putting some of the German comments through Google translate - "The cabinets give off a very unpleasant odor when opening from decades of use.
Everything is dirty and a collection of Sprungfedern.TV schmierig.Die beds costs 1 € for forty minutes a nerve." I suspect the image is shopped to hide the roaches topping up their tans.

What is this? An apartment complex for ants? It needs to be at least . . . three times bigger.

It looks like they've had a hard time finding people enjoying their pool.

I didn't even notice that the first time. I thought the pool was on a ledge about 500 feet from the building.

Actually, this looks okay to me. After all, no reasonable person would conclude that the photo is intended to represent objective reality. Sometime being so obviously fake gets the point across (come to our resort...you'll have fun!) without really misrepresenting anything.

Sort of like the "Subaru Man" who claimed in TV ads that the car could climb trees and mountains.

(Psst...he's lying!)

Did someone say "giant trans-dimensional humanoids?

This.


Been a while since I fired up paint, but I don't think it has a Smudge tool... which is what the comical little "splashes" appear to be done with. Either that or Liquify, but I seriously doubt anyone who did something this bad shelled out the cash for Photoshop.

My best guess is something like Jasc Paint Shop or something else.

Between the second photo and the third photo, that girl sure did lose a lot of weight.

Scruffinator: It looks like they've had a hard time finding people enjoying their pool.

And what the heck is the graphic on the bottom of the pool?

It looks like a set of salt and pepper shakers on either side of a ... a derringer? All suspended from a ... Paraglider?

What is this I don't even

I thought the same thing at first. But then in the second photo her body is somewhat stretched giving the illusion that she lost weight; she still has the belly pouch, though.

/yes, I have looked at it that closely

I knew it was fake!

You can tell by how all of their sandals look like pool lounge chairs.

StoneColdAtheist: Actually, this looks okay to me.

I think it's got a kind of playfully surreal vibe to it. Almost arty.
