Photoshop Disasters/Gorillaz

http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com
I have been following this blog for the past 6 months, and I find the posts to be absolutely hilarious. The site points out photoshop errors, from minor to major, and follows it with sarcastic comments to add comedy directed to the oblivious photo manipulator. Some errors they discover come from presently used banners that are used on mainstream magazines and internet aids. The blog is simply for entertainment purposes, but also shows the example that no one is perfect. I am a huge fan of this blog, and plan to follow it as the months continue.

I have been a fan of the Gorillaz for almost a decade. I enjoy listening to their unique music and their creative instrumentals. The four group members (2D, Noodle, Russel, and Murdoc) were declared one of the best bands in England, and they don't even exist. The creators of the animated band are singer Damon Albarn (Lead singer of Blur) and animator Jamie Hewlett (creator of Tank Girl, a famous comic in England). I love keeping tabs on the "band's" personal lives, and listening to remixes/new songs created by the Gorillaz or other well-known musicians. They don't plan on making a new album any time soon, but I am still a dedicated fan to their music. The current livejournal blog has moved to their own website (http://gorillaz-unofficial.com) and has actually been praised by both Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. The blog is an excellent reference to find the latest Gorillaz news, and has my approval indeed.

I checked out the first blog you wrote about, the photoshop disasters one, and it was pretty funny. There were some pretty obvious and bad mistakes in there. It is hard to believe that some of those ads were published in magazines. the funniest one was the one with the "tattoo arm" product. The kid's arm was much bigger than it was supposed to be.
