Demi Moore threatening to sue Boing Boing for looking at her pictures

[pokerfan]

Lawyers representing Demi Moore sent a threatening letter to Boing Boing over the holidays which demanded that we remove a post I published in November, or face legal consequences. In the referenced Boing Boing post, I published photographer Anthony Citrano's speculation that a recent W Magazine cover image of the actress may have been crudely manipulated by magazine staff to alter her hip, and appear thinner.

1. Reminds me of:

Demi Moore, Demi Moore
Dum dum dum the hips
Demi Moore, Demi Moore
Dum de dum dum so thin
And dum dum dum dee
Demi dum, Demi dee, dum dum photoshop
Demi Moore, Demi Moore

Or something like that ...

2. And the most ridiculous thing?

There was no reason to shave her exposed hip down, particularly since the thigh wasn't also retouched. The touch-up makes it look like her left leg has a shelf under the wrap.

3. Amazing that such a crude photoshop made it onto a magazine cover

Usually they are much more subtle. I don't understand how Demi and her lawyers can maintain that the picture wasn't altered.

5. Maybe Ashton's about to jump out

And yell at us that we've all been punk'd.

4. I believe I can settle this.

Her hip was obviously inflated for the Korean cover, in keeping with the "Women in Full" issue theme.

6. And why not finish the job?
