A somewhat more crass commentary on this from 4chan's archive of  
Photoshop images:

I think it's worth noting here that photoshopping contests have been  
something of a running game since around 2001, the results on pages  
like worth1000 and somethingawful can be very impressive, especially  
when you consider that most of the submitters are barely old enough to  
shave.    The worth1000 contest at this URL: http://www.worth1000.com/contest.asp?contest_id=23726&display=photoshop 
 is a good example; it's a contest to assemble celebrities into a  
perfect celebrity by taking one's eyes, another's nose and so on.  The  
images, I think, say something about how shopped the original images  
were.
