Size Matters

Apparently Katie Couric is not the only one who can easily lose 20 pounds by some photo-processing wizardry. The magic is available to anyone, and it does not even require a conspiring press department, or even Photoshop knowledge.

The slimming goodness comes to you thanks to HP, the company that introduced a line of digital cameras that can slim anyone’s waistline.

The demo video on HP’s site is worth watching. (hat tip: Ho John Lee).

I see unlimited potential here: if you can slim, why not add, too, at the right places? We can all have a custom-tailored body. And to be PC and balanced, yes, guys could use some “enhancement” too… no, not *that* ..Were talking about decent pics here…although reading this, who knows what the norm is anymore….

Well, since you brought it up, how about 9 inches? Isn’t that too big?

(Seeing the photo of The Swiss Army Giant Knife) I think we can agree that 9 inches are too big to be useful…

Back to the HP cameras, this is the kind of enhancement I had in mind, but without the steroids or hard work. Oh, and not in 12 weeks, but 12 seconds.

Warning to journalists, writers and corporate Board members: if you received a camera as a gift from HP, have it *de-bugged*. According to leaks from usually well-informed sources, some units included HP’s experimental feature: the camera may listen in on your electronic communication and secretly report back to HP HQ.

Update (827/07):  According to this TechCrunch story, FotoFlexer now allows you to make body parts look larger or smaller 😉

  1. There was a webpage I saw a couple of years ago that did exactly this, only it was adding weight to ultra-thin actresses and models to make them look halfway normal. Not sure how they did them, I guess they stretched the images, but the pictures looked convincing enough 🙂
