    Perhaps the first documented occurrence of a pool appearing *Smaller* in the brochure then in meat-space?

    Mark, how/where do you find these things?

    WTF is the lens flare?

    This is what happens when sales people are given photoshop.

    Putting a G-class star that close is a huge faux pas all in itself.

  • bcsizemo

    The pixels are hurting my eyes.

    And Henderson forgot the demon.

      Thank you for posting. Made (rescued) my day.

  • http://twitter.com/writebastard Ian Wood

    I DO NOT NEED THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW.

    sorry for shouting.

  • Chuck

    Ah, so THAT’S how the pre-Deluge extraterrestrial giants are going to retake the planet.  Got it.

  • Jack Daniel

    This is what happens when the owner stages an awesome photo shoot of himself and his drinking buddies jumping into the pool, and then decides 2 weeks later that he wants to fit the whole damn property into the flyer. That and monkey for designer.

    #designer monkey empathy

    • petertrepan

      You don’t have to have a monkey for a designer for this to happen.
      DESIGNER: What do you think about the design?

      CLIENT: I want to see the whole property, not just the pool.

      DESIGNER: How about now?

      CLIENT: Where did the people go? Put them back.

      DESIGNER: Okay, I’ll schedule another photo shoot, and…

      CLIENT: We don’t have time for another photo shoot. Just put the ones from the first picture.

      DESIGNER: Okay, here’s the entire property with the people from the original picture.

      CLIENT: You can barely see them! Make them bigger. No, bigger. A little bigger. Okay, a lot bigger. And make the sun logo bigger.

    Pools closed.

  • blueelm

    I think the splash made would be muuuuuch bigger.

    Anything to keep people from actually noticing what the building looks like.

      Oh, wow.  That website is spectacular.

  • CognitiveDissident

    Obviously, Village of the Giants Goo is included in the Continental Breakfast.

  • pjcamp

    When you say “Mildendo” I flash a picture of a mildewy sex aid.

    Is that why the girls are floating?

  • voiceinthedistance

    I give up.  Which one of these people was Photoshopped in?

  • futnuh

    Coincidentally have just been listening to Karl Pilkington’s take on Gran Canaria. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQcHznbzJF8

  • Ashen Victor

    They are not giants.
    They are zentradi.
    They lose their natural blue-green skin colour when exposed to sunlight.
     
    In Gran Canaria we like to call them “Germans”.

    I saw this movie, it was…  SHOCK, FRENZY, DEVASTATION -ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2cLmbCyzhE

  • howaboutthisdangit

    Thankfully there are no diving boards.  It would be bad PR if the giants brained themselves after going off the high-dive.

  • jeligula

    Because actually shooting people in the p0ol was too hard.

  • http://profiles.google.com/spudsy1 swahellie jocoby

    maybe it is a hotel for little people/midgets.

  • Teller

    All that said, it does have some idiot charm.

    Don’t insult PhotoShop by associating it with this awfulness. This looks like it was done in Microsoft Photo Editor or some such half-assed photo manipulation app.
