Photo Editing Mishaps That Had Us Doing a Double-Take

This Guy Lost His Legs in the Tragic Amazon Bath Tub Incident of 2003

The tragic Amazon Seat Bath Tub Incident of 2003 remains a sore subject for many—it’s a chapter best left untold. The fallout was brutal, and no one emerged unscathed. Take this guy, for example. As you can see, he lost his legs. But don’t feel too bad for him. After all, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? That’s what they say, and they’re not wrong

Now, jokes aside, the real mystery here is what the marketers were thinking when they edited his legs out of the product photo. Were they aiming for a sleeker design? Trying to avoid controversy? Whoever knows? It’s hard to imagine what their endgame was with such a bizarre product in the first place. Seat bath tubs? Really? Let’s just hope they got whatever outcome they were chasing. In the end, it’s a reminder that some ideas are better left on the drawing board—or better yet, never drawn at all.
