These days, models are Photoshopped to within an inch of their model-y little lives before appearing in magazines or print ads. Sometimes, things go horribly wrong, as was the case with the Ralph Lauren print ad that’s had the internet in a tizzy over the past week. A website called BoingBoing wrote a post about the ad, in which they poked fun at how unrealistically emaciated the female model looked.

BoingBoing responded to the threat by re-posting the photo, which roughly translates to “blow me, dickwad” in the blogging world.
Some ingenious people on the internet decided to help Ralph Lauren out by making some subtle tweaks to the ad. Here are the funniest results:
