October 10, 200817 yr http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOZhNkc4 ... .org/blog/ And heres the cover in question: http://www.transworldnews.com/GalleryVi ... &w=0&app=5 Do you think they just blew it out of proportion or is it really an unfair representation.I dont subscribe or read newsweek so i dont know but i think the biased nature of the editorial that was picked out was much more of a problem than the fact they didnt retouch the photo...
October 10, 200817 yr Is she saying magazines airbrush certain people to give them a more favourable image? Man... I never knew that before. The pro-Palin (sorry, pro-only woman candidate) camp just get more and more amusing everyday. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |
October 10, 200817 yr What a beat-up. The critics are making an issue out of nothing. She looks fine.
October 10, 200817 yr WTF? She looks perfectly fine to me... People are weird. Speaking of Palin, check out her supporters. Don't you just LOVE that woman that says Palin has done more interviews than Obama? :lol: noobs crowding hill giants? not on my watch
October 10, 200817 yr WTF? She looks perfectly fine to me... People are weird. Speaking of Palin, check out her supporters. Don't you just LOVE that woman that says Palin has done more interviews than Obama? :lol: Did you see the actual magazine? Her wrinkles would surpass the Grand Canyon. As for Newsweek, the should have retouched her picture. It is an unwritten law in media that they retouch pictures especially if they are on the front cover and a close up. This picture was so close that I could count each hair on Sarah's nose. I could see the problem, but what's gonna be done? It already happened. Newsweek has to retouch photos like that even if they don't like the person. I <3 Gears of War 2. Add me on Xbox Live and mention you are from Tif :D
October 10, 200817 yr Why should they retouch the photo? She's a politician, not a model. Her ideas and political skills are what's important, not her wrinkles... I bet that if they had touched up the photo, you'd have gotten a storm of protest how she was being treated as a sexual object rather than as a rational creature. Or am I completely missing the point here? Edit: I find those earrings more disturbing than her skin, quite frankly.
October 10, 200817 yr Let's face it -- the lack of touchups was intended, Newsweek knew it would upset people, but hey, there's no law against it. I'm not a Palin supporter so I really don't give a damn (all politicians have wrinkles and facial hair. It's not something new). Newsweek said they gave such a close picture to allow the reader to see into her eyes and smile, but what that has to do with the rest of her hairy wrinkly face I have no idea. Newsweek knew people would get upset, but hey, more people will buy it now to see the scandals. I'm sure that one particular issue tripled in sales because of the controversy. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

October 10, 200817 yr I looked at the picture first, and found absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's actually a very well done picture.
October 10, 200817 yr Isn't that the point of the image: "She's one of the folks" - most folks' pictures aren't touched up... He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC)
October 10, 200817 yr Isn't that the point of the image: "She's one of the folks" - most folks' pictures aren't touched up... "And that's the problem", apparantly. Maybe they've gone all Cosmo and dedicated the issue to anti-wrinkle cream.
October 10, 200817 yr It "highlights every imperfection that every human being has." OH MY GAWD! SUCH A SLAP IN THE FACE!!!1!!!1 The only woman worth listening to on that broadcast was Julia, and she was constantly drowned out. I would bet anything that if the picture had been retouched, Andrea would still find some pathetic argument against it. :roll:
October 10, 200817 yr What has this country come to...? Sometimes I really wonder where people's priorities in life are. As if one single picture is going to lose the McCain/Palin camp the election. I think Palin has done a number of stupid things to lose the election for McCain way before this cover. "He could climb to it, if he climbed alone, and once there he could suck on the pap of life, gulp down the incomparable milk of wonder."
October 10, 200817 yr So first they hate photo retouching, then when someone doesn't, it's even more of an outrage. -.- She's still got make-up and earings on etc, it's not like she just got out of bed or anything. That's still hiding blemishes and stuff.
October 10, 200817 yr Author I think the photo if anything makes a more appealing candidate, someone that the women of america can relate to
October 10, 200817 yr Photo looks fine to me. They already airbrushed out the devil's horns on her head... For it is the greyness of dusk that reigns.The time when the living and the dead exist as one.
October 10, 200817 yr And if I were Palin, I would be slapping the taste out of the mouth of Andrea Tentaros(sp) for setting women back yet another 50 years.
October 10, 200817 yr I don't see anything wrong with the picture. Overreaction, in my opinion. |Signature by Jason321|
October 10, 200817 yr Something I find really strange, even disturbing: That one woman said that "They didn't airbrush out the blemishes that every human being has." Then why be so worried about it? As someone else said, it's not like she's a model. If they had airbrushed her, I would have been worried. As in, that politics are going "completely towards the woods".
October 10, 200817 yr Faux news never ceases to amaze me. I mean it's just a vice presidential candidate. This isn't a pageant. I am Teh_King[My dA][My Last.FM][My Twitter]
October 10, 200817 yr Major overreaction in my opinion. Who cares? Clearly "perfect" looks alone aren't going to stop wars and repay America's debt.
October 10, 200817 yr Ha, she thinks shes got it bad, try giving her the cherie blair treatment [hide=warning, seriously terrifying site inside][/hide]
October 10, 200817 yr whats wrong with the cover exactly? We should euthanize anyone who lacks the capability to contribute to society in any way.Please don't elect this man for president in 2012
October 10, 200817 yr If they're concerned about a politician's appearance more than actual policies, there's something wrong with the system. I think it's actually a great picture. ~ W ~
October 10, 200817 yr If women are going to continue being more obsessed with their appearance than with the issues at hand, they have no place being in office. Internet Marketing For Newbies
October 10, 200817 yr If women are going to continue being more obsessed with their appearance than with the issues at hand, they have no place being in office. Exactly. A youtube comment on that video quoted "Imperfections every human has" and replied with a "OH GOD NO." I laughed so much cause it's true. If every human has these blemishes and imperfections why should they have to retouch the photo, which actually looks fine.
