What the hell....

[The Headliner]

I needed a Brad Pitt picture for a stupid Facebook joke (responding to a "change your profile pic to a celeb you've been told you look like, and put this in your status"-type thing - ahahaha), and found this bizarrely pointless bit of Photoshopping.

The first picture's a common result in Google Image Search, and clearly the original photo. I only noticed the second one once, in a standard news blog (here), and I did a double-take. Why have they... wh... just why?



I'd love to know what made them go to the effort, for an article that seems to make no demand for it.

Clearly he looks slimmer and therefore hotter in the second one.. I mean.. I have no idea either

At least those nude paparazzi shots of his didn't come up in the image search. You'd just be left disappointed.

The black makes him look butcher, and more defined, draws attention to his awesome abs. And the background being out of focus puts the focus on him.
