my observations on everything right and wrong with the world - starting with myself.

What the hell is wrong with the world if something like this is necessary and actually profitable?
Seriously...what kind of thought process goes through the mind of a customer of this service? Who are they trying to fool? Family and friends who know that their significant other is incarcerated? Themselves? Each other?
let's see...your husband is in jail for several years with no chance of parole, and you visited him last week, but the picture is of you and him in a Manhattan penthouse???
I thought it was cool to photoshop a picture of my head onto something completely different (like a dog's butt)...and that's really what I feel is the most 'creative' way of using photoshop, but this is a profitable usage of photoshop and it's just as outrageous.
What's next? A service for Hurricane Katrina/Rita victims who want to be in sunny Southern California but can't afford the plane tickets because they've lost everything, but instead, want a fabricated picture of them standing in front of the Hollywood sign, while in reality, they're standing in front of what used to be their house?
Damn. I can do that for free. I'll do it out of charity if it would make them feel better and allow them to escape from the reality of their situation.
