We Do Phoshop (포샵해드립니다)

Korean Photoshoppers Make the Internet a Better Place (Kotaku) On June 26, a Korean language Facebook page called "We Do Phoshop" appeared online. The site solicited Photoshop requests, and the ensuing 'shops weren't exactly what askers had in mind. Or what anyone had in mind, for that matter.
Thanks Korea!
I love all the weaponized kitties.

I can see that half the fun is carefully wording your request so they can not mess it up.
The other half is failing at this effort.

These are basically what I'd love to give every client request back when I did graphic design for a living.

Photoshop trolls are jerks like lamp genies. Don't fucking trust them unless you have an air-tight contract.

Yeah, 'cause the American photoshop trolls I see have hamburgers everwhere. The Canadians? Poutine, as far as the eye can see.

If we named our sites "we do burgershop" or "we do poutineshop" then your comment would make more sense.

Okay, the "Peppermint Candy starring Thomas the Train!" reference is making me cackle with delight. That's just wonderful. Now I can probably never watch that movie again without stifling an awkward giggle at the beginning.

They're different phonemes and it's irrelevant that they're spelled the same in English. =\ If your interpretation of grimace's comment is right, then basically everyone that speaks English and uses photoshop should be making that particular pun.

Well, True American Dog does have an awful lot of pizza. Probably some hamburgers too. I realise it doesn't quite meet the "photoshop troll" definition.

It's amusing to consider how, in the absence of an /f/ fricative, Koreans might pronounce "Phoshop". "Po'shop", perhaps?

Just chatted with my closest Korean and she agrees with you on the "Po'shop", KokuRyo.

Yes! I wanted it to be like theKorean Vietnamese version of Scanwiches (which seems to be defunct), but with soup 'shopped instead of sandwiches scanned. In either case, food technologized.

A friend of mine had a very relaxed and tolerant cat who liked to lie on the windowsill when the window was open. One of his favorite things was to grab it by the hind legs and play machine gunner out the window. The cat was fine with it.

It's a bit more... well... trollish, but the Photoshop Troll can be quite funny at times, especially his customers' exasperated responses. The entry that's on the front page right now is hilarious, but I shouldn't say anything more.
