Here via the Browser, going from strength to strength with its insightful and witty links, is a terrific piece deconstructing what at first glance looks like a photograph of a fine example of curvalicious womanhood.

But on closer inspection see how the image has been ... manipulated.

Does it matter? Is this sort of thing some sort of subliminal breach of trust?

The original photograph itself relayed through a lens an image capable of being presented in many different ways. So in some sense the original photograph itself is already a manipulation, in that it is only one of many options available.

That said, it is fairly feeble to fiddle with the image electronically to amplify some body parts - and subtract others?
