"Photoshop is a verb..."

Saturday October 7, 2006
I got a good laugh from this link I came across in a post from John Nack from Adobe. It's a spoof definition of Photoshop from Uncylopedia, a Wikipedia parody site. Here are a couple of highlights:
Some people claim that Adobe® are evil, because they registered the dictionary word "Photoshop®" as their trademark and were able to criminalize its use as a noun and verb. Therefore, you risk going to jail if you use a sentence like "I photoshopped a picture of that guy I killed yesterday".
A person unskilled in the photomanipulative arts can now show works displaying his unskilledness in an embarrasingly crappy manner.
Be sure to visit so you can learn some simple rules on how to use Photoshop and avoid the laws of Photoshop phoniness.
