    Images submitted by online artists for a photo editing contest shows just how powerful a message Photoshopping can send. The photos show how famous celebrities can be altered to look extremely thin, as though they were suffering from anorexia. When does Photoshopping go too far?

    The altered photos were created in response to a Photoshop contest held on Freaking News whose prompt read:

    Let us help prevent anorexia from spreading among celebrities and politicians, by showing them what they would look like if they were anorexic. Hopefully if they see these anorexic pictures of themselves they’ll think twice before going anorexic.”
