White Power Photoshop Ad (!?!)

As best I can tell, this is a sticker bombing of a cosmetics ad in the Toronto subway. Whatever it is, its extremely off.

*UPDATE* The Shiseido product really DOES say "white power" (!?!)... so I guess its just a Photoshop sticker. Very nice!

The text reads:

Adobe Photoshop

The uncompromised clarity of skin.
The ultimate in luxury.


A truly flawless complexion. Ultra-refined texture. Perfect clarity. Cutting-edge skincare backed by 90 years of unrivaled research by Shiseido, a worldwide leader in the development of skin-brightening products.

Shiseido
White Lucentâ„¢ Skincare
White skin.
White power.

yo Hack,

Sorry if I'm not keeping up my promise to write a post a week...I just been extremely busy lately but I'll kick my butt some time this we to work on one.

Anywoo, apart the controversial "white power" sticker, how can people think this lady really used the makeup if the ad is tagged "Adobe Photoshop" and obviously, the skin color of this person was digitally whiten? It's like thinking you'll get juicy lettuce and tick tomatoes at mcdonalds because that's what they show you on the menu...
