This camera removes ten pounds

New HP digital technology, which should perhaps have stopped at removing red-eye, now offers "slimming" effect.

Quick, somebody tell CBS: No longer do we have to rely on the miracle of PhotoShop to remove the proverbial ten pounds added by the camera. HP, perhaps in search of more sketchy press, now offers digital cameras with a "slimming" feature! Visit the HP website to watch the effect stre-e-e-etch an already slender model -- she and the other one featured are, notably, both shes -- into a curious long-torsoed "Stilts? What stilts?" sort of look. Thanks, HP, for making every MySpace and Internet dating photo more suspect than ever before. And while we're on the subject, can the new "bosom-blossom" feature be far behind?
