Ralph Lauren has been the laughing stock of Photoshop users this week, and under the scrutiny of women’s advocates everywhere, because of this horribly mangled photo on their latest magazine advertisement (shown right). After initially trying to use the DMCA to stifle the discussions on various websites, they’ve finally decided the best move is to just `fess up and move on.
“For over 42 years, we have built a brand based on quality and integrity,” reads the company’s statement. “After further investigation, we have learned that we are responsible for the poor imaging and retouching that resulted in a very distorted image of a woman’s body.
“We have addressed the problem and going forward will take every precaution to ensure that the calibre of our artwork represents our brand appropriately.”
