that's funny! They chose ugly pictures of Hillary? That's all I have ever seen!
Come to think of it I have never seen a good looking picture of Hillary either. I really don't think it would be possible to make one even with extensive PP applied.

She's unattractive to begin with and her innate evil shines through in her visage. However, her "problem" is that she is very animated and most of her animated expressions make her look idiotic. The media, having decided to help Obama get the nomination, chose to show only the most idiotic Hillary pictures.

The last sentence was all too obvious to me back then. When they, the media, crowned him as their messiah they trampled on the lesser gods in their realm.

Well said! ...politicians are "too concerned about the splinter in their brothers eye instead of the beam of wood in their own".

Before politicians try to control advertising art, they should control their own lying to American citizens. Their lies are more harmful to our everyday lives than any doctored photos in advertisements.

Portrait Pro 12 might make Hillary's skin look better, but not even a Cray supercomputer could fix her idiotic expressions.

Must be the government cutbacks stopping the FTC from doing their job...
The FTC site on Truth In Advertising
When consumers see or hear an advertisement, whether its on the Internet, radio or television, or anywhere else, federal law says that ad must be truthful, not misleading, and, when appropriate, backed by scientific evidence. The Federal Trade Commission enforces these truth-in-advertising laws, and it applies the same standards no matter where an ad appears in newspapers and magazines, online, in the mail, or on billboards or buses. The FTC looks especially closely at advertising claims that can affect consumers health or their pocketbooks claims about food, over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, alcohol, and tobacco and on conduct related to high-tech products and the Internet, such as the dissemination of spyware. The FTC also monitors and writes reports about ad industry practices regarding marketing of food, violent movies, music, and electronic games to children.
When the FTC finds a case of fraud perpetrated on consumers, the agency files actions in federal district court for immediate and permanent orders to stop scams; prevent fraudsters from perpetrating scams in the future; freeze their assets; and get compensation for victims.

Rarely enforced with the exception of food labeling and pharmaceuticals I spent 40 years in Pharma advertising and every year the rules became stricter and were increasingly enforced for "truth" and "consequences".

When they're done with this, they're going to study whether it's OK to wear brown shoes with a blue suit. (BTW, the answer is no.)

Doesn't it depend on the shade of blue?
How about with 2 tone brown shoes? Or brushed brown suede vs polished brown?

As a young man, thanks to Playboy Magazine, I thought beautiful girls had staples in their bellies and were otherwise PERFECT. Way before Photoshop. Using 1/2 pound of hamburger meat in a photograph representing a 1/4 lb. burger is already under control of the FTC and should be because we are talking truth in advertising. The model in the photo, however, is not for sale and all the laws in the world are not going to stop advertisers from choosing models they would like to convince you that you will look like if you use their product. Not caused by the product, mind you, but because this is the type of person who uses our product and if you use it you must be this kind of person.
