It’s been OK to Photoshop since the invention of Photoshop, and perhaps no one has taken more advantage of it than the fashion and modeling industries. But Target’s apparent attempt to give a bikini model a fashionable thigh gap was such a hack job as to elicit a series of apologies from the company.
@alissajones16 This was an unfortunate error on our part. We apologize and are working to address this issue on our site.

Hey @target its 2014. Don't you think now is a good time to stop chopping up bodies till they're good enough for ads? http://t.co/umLKK1cHBR

Wow. Bravo @Target ! Does any sane male actually LIKE thigh gap? I enjoy having curves. Shame on you, Target pic.twitter.com/SPO0ubdCsy

@thelprovidence @Target what I want to know is why is there a square cut out in her crotch? Sorry for the model whose image is the subject.

@AskTarget 🙂 we're people, you're better off setting a standard in beauty than being a sheep in the herd. Glad you're addressing it.

E! Online notes that the model’s entire left side has been clumsily butchered as well.
