Emma Watson Loses A Leg For Burberry

Yes. Emma Watson, darling of the Harry Potter movie franchise, is making her way into the world of advertising. Except, she’s left one of her body parts behind. In a new Burberry ad, her right leg seems to be missing. Was she recently attacked by a shark? Or did a designer, once again, get a bit overzealous with PhotoChop?

It’s beyond comprehension how such an egregious error could go unnoticed by all of the eyes that most certainly saw this campaign before it went out the door. Unless…which is a much more likely scenario…it was released on purpose by Burberry which knew full well the press would eat it up. If that’s the case, big points for the marketers behind the brand. If not, someone’s getting fired. Or at least sent back to PhotoChop…uh…Shop training.

Update: There’s a video of the photoshoot which appears to reveal this ad may not have been a Photoshop Disaster. In the video her leg can be seen behind her brother’s leg. Whether or not it’s the same pose is up for debate but this seems to confirm our assumption Burberry did this on purpose knowing they’d get press. Watch and decide.

The loneliest version of retirement isn’t the one where nobody calls. It’s the one where you finally have unlimited time to spend with yourself and realize you never actually became someone you wanted to spend time with.
