Photoshopped women don't have curves

In the irony is dead department:

The second episode of Ugly Betty involves the fashion magazine where Betty works doing post-production on an actress' photo shoot. The actress is troubled by the proposed retouching to make her skinnier; in part inspired by talking with Betty, she insists they show her as she is.

America Ferrera, the titular Betty and star of Real Women Have Curves, is on the cover of Glamour magazine. With pipe-cleaner arms, a re-shaped face, and conspicuously reduced waist and hips.

Christ, that cover picture looks like her head was pasted on. Disturbing.
