Attention world! Magazines alter photos all the time. And until people put their foot down, it will continue to make people feel like shit. Photo altering is a big part of the reason why teenage girls hate their hair, skin, and their bodies.
Thank god people are starting to balk back at magazine for trying to fuck with reality. If magazine can distort images, imagine what they can do with a story. If you want the public’s trust, report the truth. I think Washington Magazine chose to make the shorts red and did some “minor” retouching to make it go with their “hottest” headline. It’s lame. But I imagine they’re selling lots of issues. Despite it being deceptive.
I don’t honestly care seeing the President in swimming trunks. He’s human after all. I just think it’s shitty that the magazine chose not to keep it real.

Is it okay to call the President hot??
