Look, how many times have we told you to be careful what you wish for? Let me help you count. Bored Panda warned you in this same post 3 months ago and prior to that, we told you here, here, and here. Time has passed, years have gone by, seasons have changed and nobody, not a single one, has ever thought: “Wait, maybe I should really be more careful when asking James Fridman to photoshop my pic!”

Because the guy is savage. Want the lamp out of sight? Disappear into the darkness. Wanna edit the dominos out of your prom pic? You may as well be photoshopped into the delivery guy. ‘Cause if there’s one thing James is the best at, probably on the whole internet, it's making photoshop edits that are way too literal and all too hilarious.  But hey, it’s what you asked for, right?

Is that a unicorn tattoo? That guy is definitely not winning any bad boy contests, lol.

Exactly my thought too! When a savage who wears a f***y pack has a unicorn tattoo, you are likely going to come out of a clash with your hair pulled. The brute.

    James, also known as the Photoshop wizard who has been trolling people longer than we could remember, has become notorious for his comedic photo edits and blatant misinterpretations.

    “I don't consider myself a graphic designer, it is more of a hobby", he told Telegraph. When he first started using image manipulation software, it was something new and not as widespread as it is now, so everyone was up for the experiment.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    James initially “did some funny edits for friends and family, and they ended up on the internet. Apparently, people found it quite entertaining and asked for more” and, as you'd imagine, the rest is history.

    I don't think he was being malicious or mansplaining at all! Looking at his previous work, whenever someone asks him to make themselves look less fat, no freckles, etc he doesn't do it because he wants them to feel confident in their own skin

    You shouldn't be mad at yourself and certainly not over acne. Not your fault. There is often a strong genetic component - did a parent have acne? If you haven't seen a doctor about it though I would highly recommend you do. Don't let anyone suggest that it's 'just spots and they'll go away'. Acne can scar and it can have a massive impact on self-esteem. There are things that can be done to improve it - you just have to persevere. Mine is currently being managed quite well by an antibiotic lotion thankfully!

    But the graphic designer is well aware of the humorous impact he has on social media. “Entertainment accounts cater to a wider audience, delivering current news and addressing social issues wrapped in humour. It makes it easier to work through sensitive subjects," James explained.

    When it comes to getting offended by James' mischievous edits, the designer believes that “it's now a trend to get offended by almost everything.” Having said that, I am sure he has nothing but good intentions and his fan club of 2 million Instagram followers is proof of that.

    This brought back so many good memories - of the OLD days - of my youth - when we went to the County and State FAIRS every year after the crops were gathered and sold. It was a "ritual". The farmers had some money. My Dad would let us ride ALL the rides as MANY TIMES as we wanted to!!! At the end of the evening just before the FAIR was closing, they would have a FIREWORKS SHOW - that was out-of-this-world. They had bleacher seats for is to sit on to watch the show. The LAST firework would be the AMERICAN FLAG!!!

    Nothing, but she wanted them done and forgot to do it before the picture I guess.

    I've had several foot surgeries and only have 8 toes left. Seems a waste of nail polish to worry about it now!! And flip flops are totally out of the question:)))

    Foot problems leading to surgery must be very hard to deal with. I hope you are getting better, and that you are able to cope. A hug over the internet!

    I have painted my toe nails maybe twice my whole life and I'm 36. I also wear sandals, walk around barefoot and attend hot yoga regularly. I could care less about my toes being undone. Your smile, that is beautiful and matters much more love.

    Same goes with me. Done them once. Absolutely hated it. Haven't done them since. I don't even paint my nails...

    Some sock manufacturer should produce toe socks that look just like this.
