Airbrushed Babies
According to The Telegraph, politicians and industry experts have been shocked (shocked!) to learn that magazines occasionally photoshop pictures of babies:The practice came to light in a BBC documentary, My Supermodel Baby. In footage of a photo shoot for the magazine, the casting director explained how the photograph of baby model Hadley Corbett, five months, was airbrushed: "We lightened his eyes and his general skin tone, smoothed out any blotches and the creases on his arms," he said. "But we want it to look natural."
Honestly, this seems like a non-issue to me. It's not like doctoring baby pictures is a new thing. Remember Baby Adolf?

Still, it's rather creepy that the cutest thing on the planet is FIXED. Although, I did wonder where all their baby acne went. Most babies get it...but magazine babies didn't seem to.

What else can you do with a picture of an ugly baby?

That kid is still pretty ugly. But then again I think most babies are ugly.

"But we want it to look natural." LOL. Give me a break.

What I always like is how in movies or on television, whenever they have a scene where a child is born, the "newborn" is obviously at least several months old and is usually all scrubbed off (with perhaps a slight bit of red makeup smudged artistically about). Real newborns look less like babies and more like something unpleasant that happened.
