Perceptions of Perfection: the Male Version

(Image credit: NyPhotoNy)

Remember when a woman’s picture was Photoshopped by graphic artists around the world to conform to various nations’ beauty standards? The website Online Doctors Superdrug has done it again, this time with a male model. They contacted a photographer to provide a model, and he bravely took a selfie.

Then the image was sent to graphic artists in 19 countries (11 women and 8 men) to be Photoshopped into their version of the ideal man. As you can see, the main takeaway is that Photoshop has its limits.



However, few nations turned the model into a bodybuilder. Most just made him slightly slimmer. Serbia added tattoos. Nigeria made him smile more. And the United States gelled his hair. Australia thought he was close to perfect as is. No one shaved his face. Explore all 19 images here.  -via Buzzfeed

Note that all the jacked dudes (U.S., Russia, Egypt, Venezuela) were designed by females. Most of the normal bodies (Spain, U.K., Philippines) were picked by men.

That is a device used to sharpen lawnmower blades. Both sides of the blade have to balance and when you sharpen one side, it throws the balance off.

Large, please.

It's a prototype model for headwear for the band Devo!

(Actually it's for checking the balance of mower blades during the sharpening process.)

Court Relic of the Qin dynasty (221-217 BC) Thought at the time to be an earthquake detector. This may because the court Senechal, Wy di lod was grossly obese and whenever he passed near this it would wobble on its base, generating comical snorts and giggles from the royal court. It wasn't until the philospher Lo Dun D'rti accidently sat upon the device that its true purpose was discovered. Upon being compressed a small reed rubbed against a textured surface and a comical sound emenated. This is a Chinese whoopie cushion from before the age of Christ.

It's one of the first artificial Christmas trees. Before plastics became common, scientists searched for viable artificial Christmas trees, this early tin example was quite popular although balancing the ornaments on the shelves proved challenging after a couple of eggnogs.
