1. Is that a pencil in his pocket or is he glad??

WORD TO MARIA: I took my dog to a surgeon this morning to get HIM to knock it off!

[lancdem]

3. Ewwww

[R3dD0g]

4. What a pervert n/t

[brainshrub]

8. Let's be fair here:

Even if this pic is real, I don't think this is such a big deal. Maybe he was wearing boxers that day. I don't really think he was getting off on a kid.

Grow up y'all.

[Caution]

2. Photo is obviously faked

I can't stand the guy but this kind of thing is irresponsible.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. How can you tell?

[Caution]

7. There is a photoshop tool called the smudge tool

you click on one area and can distort a photo pulling one color over another part. This photo was created doing that. Extremely simple to do.

On Edit: tool not called grabber called smudge tool.

Now arnold not only has one large erection he also has 3 more small ones...man what a freak

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. But where is your proof that that was done with this photo?

I know it CAN be done but that is not evidence that it was done and there is no apparent alteration of lines on the girl's leg.

18. just like that photo of Clinton...

on the yacht wasn't faked. Come on, no one could prove that one wasn't faked either...hell, looks like the same hard-on to me! :-) The shadows are what give it away...overdone.

20. never saw that photo and the shadows look consistent to me

but I will run it past my photographer friend later this evening and see what he says...

[ProdigalJunkMail]

21. shadows too deep around erectile area

:-) The picture of Clinton was of him on a yacht with Hillary and a few others...can't remember who, wish I could find the photo for you...will look.

How you doin'?

[Caution]

24. please look at the shadows around my version of that photo

You will see they are the same as the shadow around the larger area. Same technique (i say technique but it really is one click and drag).

14. Sure it is.

Like you know for sure.

[R3dD0g]

16. If it was faked,

then it seems to me the Gropinator would have cause for action against the radio station. It's awfully irresponsible for a station to allow that on their website.

Personally, I think the guy is a perv.

6. Your evidence for fakery? n/t

[Caution]

13. Just knowledge of photoshop

That photo was manipulated using the grabber tool. You click on his pants in the crotch area using the grabber and drag left. Instant "erection"

I don't like the dude anymore than anyone here does, but when I see something like this passed off as real, even for a scumbag like Schwarzenegger, I've got to say something.

On Edit: Sorry the tool is called the "smudge tool"

[arcane1]

15. no proof, you "just know"

ok...

I'm reserving judgement, but you are not helping.

[Caution]

17. Sheesh

30 seconds worth of work:

[DS1]

27. yeah, but that looks like ass

no offense.

[arcane1]

11. faked, perhaps, but "obviously"??

care to share how you can tell? If it's obvious, even we photoshop novices should be able to see it...

[SlavesandBulldozers]

9. oh man

ahahh. could be a fake, but either way it's funny.

a pretty distinct white line can be seen when zoomed in that indicates where the pants were edited from.

[KG]

12. that all he's got?

:wtf:

btw - thanks for all the pop ups!

[Oilwellian]

22. Speaking of pop ups...

Oh wait, that's another picture.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

19. juvenile

[grannylib]

23. My instant reaction when I saw it was "that's phony..." I am no expert but

I think it looks incredibly obvious that the photo was altered.
I still think he's a perv though.

[Caution]

25. Just to illustrate this as a fake a bit better

Changed the smudge tool to 29 pixels and gave arnold not one but two bulging erections. The better shadows done on the top erection is due to the original shadow on the pants. With a little bit of work I could easily add in the shadow to the second erection and then it would be a REALLY REALLY disturbing photo!

[creativelcro]

26. It's not the smudge tool

it's one of the "goo" tools. The smudge tool well, smudges, which is not the case for the erection bulge. Here, the shadow is preserved, just distorted, which you can easily do with those distortion tools. But it doesn't matter, the picture is fake.
