Ellen Takes on Photoshopped Target Ad

Target caught some heat earlier this summer for releasing a blatantly photoshopped ad featuring model Tanya Marie Keller in a bikini. Well, Ellen DeGeneres decided to invite Keller onto her show recently in an effort to clear up any questions regarding the ad and if photoshopping actually occurred.

What we are treated to is three-plus minutes of excellent comedy between Keller and DeGeneres. Both women are able to stay calm during the bit and refrain from laughing. We have embedded the video for you to enjoy at the bottom of this post. Leave us your comments about the ad and photoshopping in general too.

Keller is introduced to the crowd and as she walks onto the set, you can see that she is holding two fake arms underneath her long dress sleeves. She is even able to pick up a glass of water and drink it, then set it calmly back onto the table without spilling a drop.

Basically, the ad in question shows Keller with arms that reach her knees when she is standing upright, which is not possible for anyone to do. She is also shown with having a block removed from in-between her legs. She offers to show Ellen that this is natural too, but Ellen declines. Enjoy the video.
