Brief Episode

Doesn’t this poster send a horrible message to boys worried about their looks?

As I mentioned before, Steve Carell looks unrecognizable. It’s partly the angle, but it’s partly the airbrush and lighting job.

I thought the guy was cute in a non-descript (de-nasled?) way. Then I checked the name above the photo. Steve Carell.

I thought to myself, poor Steve, his name is above the title but he’s not on the poster.

Then I realized — that is Steve!

I Googled to see if he’d had a nose job. No, no nose job to date.

Someone in advertizing and marketing or publicity thinks Steve’s nose is too big.

Nose Jobs Are So 80s

Please, people — sometimes big is beautiful! Carell is a man on top of his game, he’s smart, absola-effin’-funny, charming when the characters he plays are not — and yeah, he’s sexy, too. Beautiful even. No, sorry, no crush here.

But he’s a fantastic talent and an easy guy to watch for hours and weeks at a time — why do the posters have to make him look like someone kinda cute but not very memorable? What’s wrong with distinct noses?

Nose jobs are so 80s, anyway. Pec implants were the nose jobs of the 90s just like buttocks implants are the nose jobs of of the new millennium.

Have you noticed any other stars being airbrushed into non-descriptity?
