Sports Illustrated has named Olympic hero and yellow fever victim Michael Phelps its Sportsman of the Year, making him the WAIT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIS FACE?
Am I going insane? I know I’ve been kinda sick, but am I hallucinating this? Because if this cover is right, then Michael Phelps’s face has shrunk to 80% of its original size since the Olympics, as well as becoming paler than the rest of his body and placed at the wrong angle on his head.
Someone please tell me I’m not crazy, that yes, it does look as if a low-ranking intern, possibly a chimpanzee or someone’s retarded son, was responsible for Photoshopping a professional photo shoot of history’s greatest Olympian for the world’s biggest sports magazine.
Dude, SI, I know times are tough and you’ve had to lay people off, but nerds who are good at Photoshop work for damn near free. I pay 289 in wooden nickels and blank cassette tapes. And let’s face it, he’s overpaid.

Still looks like a ‘tard though.
Borrowing a page from Mens Health, SI decided to give a star athlete head.
There is very clearly something wrong with the right side of his head (his right). It’s a little horror movie-esque, actually; like he might be cast in the next Hills Have Eyes movie.
At least they didn’t use a picture of him looking half-retarded.
Holy God! That’s horrible! 289 has a use for cassette tapes?
Yeah but your mom loves the way the wooden nickels give her splinters.
You know what a good trick to play on Michael Phelps would be? The one where you tell them if their hand is bigger than their face, they’re retarded. Then, while he’s staring at his hand, trying to figure out whether it’s bigger than his face or not, you can slip off and bang his girlfriend.
2 additional things that are wrong with that picture are:
1. The fact that there’s hair on his chest.
2. The fact that I noticed that first.
@ Zack- I’ll take Sean Avery’s sloppy seconds, but not Phelps. You might catch the retard from even talking to someone he’s touched.
“blank cassette tapes”
Hootie tapes are cheaper.
it took me a minute but i figured out who he looks like:
