Happy Wednesday rock 'n rollers! Thanks for checking out my blog today. Looks like we're in store for another beautiful day in God's Country. I took Gorgeous George for a nice long walk last night and I couldn't believe how many other dogs were out with their owners. And George made sure he sniffed every single one's butt. Dogs and owners. Yep, that's my dog!So, the picture up above is my attempt at Photoshop.Every single picture in every single magazine has been photoshopped to make it look better. Thousands upon thousands of people make their living by air-brushing, editing and cropping pictures so they're more appealing. But even the best graphic artists can make a mistake. For example, take a look at this headless basketball player.
Here for your enjoyment are the 52 Worst Photoshopping Mistakes in Magazine History. The next time you flipped through a magazine, take a closer look, you might spot one if you are lucky.

Here's a story to gross you out. An Ohio mother found more than just pasta in her can of spaghetti last week. Jennifer Aker found a dead rodent while attempting to serve her daughter lunch last Thursday. The Bridgetown resident called the can's manufacturer, ConAgra foods, which asked her to take a picture of her discovery. Aker took their request one step further by posting a video of the can on YouTube. I can't tell if that's a rat or not but whatever it is...ICK!!! ConAgra is expected to pick up the can and conduct tests to determine what in fact was in their food. Aker says she doesn't want to file a lawsuit, adding, quote, "I'm just looking to let people be aware of this. It's just really gross."
Let's lighten the mood a bit shall we?
