Smile, Fatty!

The days of the camera “adding 20 pounds” are OVER, thanks to a new digital camera that slims people down at the touch of a button.

“[The slimcam setting] works by squeezing the picture in the middle, so the main object in focus looks thinner without distorting the surroundings,” reports the Scotsman.com, adding that the anti-fat phone is only one of the Comet company’s forthcoming items designed to “appeal to women”: “Other items picked out by the company’s Gadget Angels include a phone that can predict when a woman will ovulate.”

a lot of digicams already have the "slimming" feature, it's just not called that usually.

Do they have a feature that'd make my crotch look bigger?

Maybe this will make Nicole Richie disappear completely!

Great! We won't even be able to believe what little pictures tell us anymore.

Whatever. Celebrities have been airbrushed for decades. This is no different, except it's accessible to the masses.

Sorry to be so direct, but that picture of John Candy?? John was a wonderful man, but he was fat, fat, fat. He added the 20 lbs., not the camera. I can only wish he'd stayed in good health; I really miss him.
