Taylor Swift CoverGirl Ad: Banned in UK For Excessive Photoshopping!
by Free Britney at .This gives new meaning to the phrase "Picture to Burn" ... or something.
Procter & Gamble recently pulled a CoverGirl print ad featuring singer Taylor Swift in the UK because it was among a group of ads cited by a watchdog for excessive Photoshop use. Yes, there is seriously a consumer watchdog group for that.
Take a look at the yanked Taylor Swift image below:
The National Advertising Division (NAD), the ad industry's self-regulatory body created to review factual claims in national advertisements, issued a statement saying:
"It has determined that [P&G] acted properly in discontinuing superior performance claims made in print advertising for its CoverGirl NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara."
Specifically, the NAD asked P&G to verify that the mascara has two times more volume vs. bare lashes and is 20 percent lighter than the most expensive mascara.
The watchdog also criticized "implied messages" - that consumers "would get lashes like those depicted in the advertisement and that the lashes depicted in the photograph were achieved solely by using [the mascara] ... without post-production enhancement."
While this is a bit silly, so is retouching Taylor Swift in the first place.
She's kind of almost perfect as is, are we wrong? Love you girl.

I love you like sparkles because you make my heart pound as much as you can think per second!I LOVE YOU TAYLOR SWIFT!
youoooooooooooooor awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I have seen Swift live and in my opinion, she's not all that fantastic, dont get me wrong shes a great songwriter and role model but there are many singers out there who sound better, like Carrie underwood.
All mascara ads have people wearing fake eyelashes so what it the big deal?
@Leroy It's fine to say her pictures are photoshopped because they are, but you are lying when you say the only reason she sounds good in her songs is auto tune, I'm guessing you've never heard her live, because she sounds just the same. So look at facts before you comment rude things.
