The Cultural Excesses of Fotoshop by Adobé

You could laugh off this satirical infomercial by California-based filmmaker Jesse Rosten more easily if the before and after examples hadn't been taken from real life. He provides some background for its creation in this interview.

There has been so much flack about how Photoshop is this evil entity, responsible for maliciously tricking people into using products that won't ever give the desired results and for placing a ridiculously false expectation of beauty. As I see it, it is the operators of the program, not the program itself, that is responsible for these 'lies' and false standards. My response to this has been that, if there is a version of Photoshop that can, on it's own, do all those effects and adjustments that are so scandalous, I'll buy it tomorrow! This parody is just the program I am talking about! LOL
Why is it nobody ever wants to take responsibility for anything? Instead, they've placed the blame on a program! This video rams that concept home! Great piece!
