Adobe Gone Wrong:
Superbabies

Oh God...no...NOOO...wake me up from this nightmare!



Okay, first off, I'll go on the record to say that I wretch and recoil at any attempt to anthropromorphize babies. Babies crawl, drool, coo, and smell funny. They do not dance, fret about the opposite sex, or talk like Bruce Willis. Nor are they angels, nor are they superheroes. Is there really a market for this crap? Is it just expectant mothers and elementary school teachers hard up for a movie that'll pass the permission slip gauntlet?

Secondly, what the hell is up with this trend of sex-doll faces on minors? The third kid from the left is even worse than the Screaming Demon Baby because while that was a doctored photo of a kid with his mouth open, this is obviously some kind of quasi-brush job done to open some kid's mouth and to give him a lolling, swollen tongue. I mean...why? Is he screaming for the humilation to end? Is he screaming for OSHA? Is he crying cuz he just soiled himself? Is he uttering some Superbaby catchphrase ("Baby...baby not!")?

While there's no way I can really prove this was perpitrated with an Adobe product, I can quote the Oompa-Loompas, this is "repulsive, revolting, and wrong."
