Is Megan Fox a Bitch? or “Value Perceptions and Photoshop”
A photo has been circulating around the internets lately that is equal parts hilarious and tragic. Tragicomic, if you will. It show the uberhöt Megan Fox hurrying along on her way somewhere– no doubt to be seen and thought of as hot by one or more observers. But what’s this I see? What I can only assume is a loved-crazed fan has broken through the crowd and has poured the purity of his affection into an offering: a yellow rose!
The young gentlemen is somewhat portly, and somewhat aesthetically challenged. This effect is heightened as he is juxtaposed with Foxy, who as I may have mentioned, is a smokin’ hot mama. But it is the annoyed look of Fox and the hustling attitude of her handlers that made some call the actress a bitch and the pic a freeze-framed visual definition of cruelty.
Now I think Fox and her entourage were not to blame for this perception. It is pretty clear they are trying to get somewhere and obviously they can’t stop for random strangers who accost them with unknown motives…
But what if the positions were reversed? An incorrigible scalawag on Reddit got hold of the pic and using some photoshop trickery, swapped the subjects’ heads for a joke:
The pics are an awesome display of the perceived value disparities between human and human. Beauty, fame and status are wide gulfs indeed….
