and also looks photoshopped. As for the forth ad about the before and after, it looks like it was just taken literally... They were showing a stretch of road with snow, and another with pavement. Not that the same stretch with snow was then covered with pavement. :shrug:

Only one that was semi-funny, Fungi-Nails. But how do we know that the label really came from said product?

They look photoshopped here but I saw the actual magazine and it was a lot better quality of a picture.

I suppose if someone really wanted to they could photoshop something then submit it, but oh well.

that's great.. i remember on Jay Leno's headlines a couple years back he had a house w/ the garage that looked the same.. "Hey honey, just back over these redwood dog trees, and open the door!"

Here's the thing though...

The driveway may come from the left of the pic from the road. (Assuming the house is on a corner.) Then the driveway might come from the left and you have to turn into the driveway.
