Never Ask For Help On The Internet

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-get-what-you-pay-for dept.

This guy thought a card with an old picture of him would make a great birthday gift for his dad. What he hadn't counted on was the general level of mischief and meanness that comes with soliciting help in an online forum. The set of pics with the white dots "corrected" kills me.

    I'm still trying to figure out what the hell this guy even wanted in the first place .... what white dots?

      What he didn't realize is that they were on his monitor...

      There are small white dots in the upper left and upper right corners of the original. The look like they could have been thumb-tack holes very close to the corners. And no, those spots are not his monitor.

      The sequence of photo edits is funny, but I think the guy was serious about asking for help with removing those small white spots. It's too bad there were so many clowns who do not remember their own newbie days to actually stop and help him. Just because they are Photoshop jockeys now does not mean they were born able to edit pictures flawlessly.

      I've got to agree... He should've asked how *he* could fix it, instead of asking for someone to fix it...

      I busted out laughing when I saw them, I'm glad my co-workers have left for the day. It would be really hard to explain what I was laughing about without showing them the pictures.
