HP's new digital cameras have a "slimming" feature that allows you to make someone look thinner. Via 3 Quarks and Feministing, where you can find more slimming shots. It's just the thing to make your teenage daughter commit to that eating disorder... and in time for Christmas!

Ok, rating confusion here. SHould I rate it five because article is funny, or one because product is just plain sad?

I rated the product...not the article

I wonder if you can get one with a "fatting" feature.

Sad or not, no-one ever lost money betting on peoples' insecurity, especially the more vulnerable members of our society. It's a pathetic statement about the HP brand though, what will they stoop to next?

And of course the two models they use in the example don't even need the use of a slimming feature. Sheesh.
