    Well shucks, guys, we sure do hope y’all will understand, but any discussion of current events will be looked upon as a direct affront on our corporate overlords and their kin, and golly gee, we’d feel just plum awful if our beloved faceless and soulless owners found a reason to be cross with us! So, we know you’ll be just as soft and unquestioningly compliant as we have made up our minds to be, and that y’all will keep your dang ol’ gazes pointed at the floor and your yaps shut, and just do as you’re told, a-hyuck! Otherwise, our precious r/popculturechat might catch a whoopin’ from them powers that be, and well-shut-my-mouth, we just absolutely, positively, could not ever fucking have THAT. EVER. Could we?

  • Graphic designer here, my guess would be a Photoshop job. I’m mostly going by the visual qualities of the edge of the thumb, comparing where it appears over the graphic, versus where it appears over the rest of the hand. There’s a slight but discernible difference in the sharpness, that usually indicates masking.

    I did a reverse image search with TinEye, and found a “Colgate Whitening Dogs” version of the same original photo, which supports the Photoshop theory (at least in one of the two images): https://i.imgur.com/IB6rn9E.jpeg . That makes me think the original photo was of a pack of hotdogs where the label was blank / white – That’d let you distort the fake label graphic to roughly match the size and placement of where the real label art would go, and preserve the shadows, highlights and reflections of the packaging using layer styles.
