Here via the Browser, going from strength to strength with its insightful and witty links, is a terrific piece deconstructing what at first glance looks like a photograph of a fine example of curvalicious womanhood.

But on closer inspection see how the image has been … manipulated.

Does it matter? Is this sort of thing some sort of subliminal breach of trust?

The original photograph itself relayed through a lens an image capable of being presented in many different ways. So in some sense the original photograph itself is already a manipulation, in that it is only one of many options available.

That said, it is fairly feeble to fiddle with the image electronically to amplify some body parts – and subtract others?
