Take heart-- you're better off than you think.

PhotoShop Disasters is one of the funniest sites I've seen in a while. It also makes you feel a little better about the world around you.

People don't look like those in magazine advertisements, friends. If you're attempting to achieve beauty by those standards, you will always fail.

But that's okay... so do the production artists:

You should look skinnier.

You should have more graceful arms.

Your waistline should be bulge-free.

Men should look less craggy. (or, apparently, less masculine?)

Even your lawn should look better!

Funny, funny stuff. And a lesson for those who have unconsciously been comparing themselves to what they see in popular publications, and found themselves wanting.

It's not all just fun and games, though. There are some interesting strategic implications to debunking photoshopped pics, too.
