I see that you follow Photoshop Disasters. You missed one from there, though, which is both particularly egregious and perpetrated by the US Government: http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/2008/12/us-military-your-tax-dollars-at-work.html .

I have some experience with this. I worked for the Annual Fund at my undergraduate university and they wanted a couple of us to pose for pictures around campus. I would say the group consisted of Blacks, Whites, and Hispanics. The pictures would be used on the thank you postcards that we send out to each donor. We took tons of pictures. Most of the pictures were group shots, but we also took some close ups. I never expected the final version to turn out the way it did. Instead of using the group shots, they chose solo shots of me, one of my male White coworkers, and an Asian girl that didn’t work for the Annual Fund. Many of my coworkers believed that they chose me because I have an “ethnically ambigious” look. I am Black, but light-skinned. Many people thought I was either bi-racial (Black and White) or Hispanic. Although I’m a New Orleans Creole, I mostly identify as Black, especially since many people outside of Louisiana don’t know what Creole is. Anyway…for awhile, I did’t agree with them. I felt that they chose me as a sort of “Token Black,” but I started to realize that they were probably right. By looking at my picture, most people probably wouldn’t be able to pin point my race, and students of varying races or ethnicities could see themselevs in me.
