Origin of nude Jonas Brothers Gone Wild photos? (blurred-out nsfw)

March 1, 2009 1:28 AM

Are these blurred-out shots of the Jonas brothers authentic? If not, that's some darn good photoshopping.

Any details on where this might have come from, or the nature of the originals if they were edited (aside from the blurs, obviously)..?

I got it from here.

No, you have an answer right there in the page you linked from. The poster responded.

Seriously, you think one of the Jonas brothers was standing on stage naked and it wasn't reported anywhere? Seriously?

Five minutes of Googling confirmed that it is all most likely Photoshopped.

Not darn good photoshopping. Very fake.

No Googling necessary. It says it right on the second link that he provided.

Re: darn good Photoshopping. If the source photos were of the boys at the beach, shirtless but wearing shorts, a novice Photoshopper could have made these. Photoshop has a Clone Stamp tool, which takes pixels from one part of the image and paints them over another part. So all you'd have to do is to paint over the shorts with skin. The blurring out of the genitals would help hide cloning problems.

Thanks, Rubb. I doubted they'd reply, so I asked here as a failsafe in that case, and if perhaps my search techniques were just lousy ^_^

No, I don't think the JB's would be photographed in such manner. My surprise was that I couldn't find these particular shopped images anywhere else, which prompted the question.

Protip: boasting about how quickly it took you to look it up ain't getting you any high fives. Don't be a Nick Burns.
