About Those Photos
Many readers have asked why a song girl was airbrushed out of the team picture? You can compare the photos and notice the missing song girl in the lower left corner in the first row. We asked the athletic dept. and the official explanation is provided after the jump.
``After this year's song girl photo was taken, Allison Daniels was offered an attractive business internship that conflicted with her ability to continue as a song girl. She had been a song girl for 2.5 years, so everyone agreed that the internship was such that it would
be beneficial to her business career if she took it. She was photoshopped out of the website photo so that fans wouldn't be confused by seeing 14 girls in the web photo, but only 13 on the field. She still attends many song girl functions (as an interested
observer) when time permits to support the squad. And the Daniels legacy lives on as her younger sister, Stephanie, is on the current squad.''
That girl on the top left who has had fake legs photoshopped in looks really freaky. Those legs are about three feet away from the rest of her body! The cartoon pompoms are funny as well.
There is clearly a conspiracy here and Song Girlgate will only get bigger until all the cover-ups have been made public!
Not a very good Photoshop job. So she has a sister on the squad? The Song Girl nepotism continues....
What the hell? Now they just remove people from pictures and add someone else's body parts that weren't there before? What would have happened if the girl was in the middle of the picture? Would they have just replaced her face with another girl's face?
Well, at least they are now rather begrudgingly admitting that they photoshop the pictures of the song girls and the girls do look anything like their pictures in real life. They most likely likely make them thinner and better looking in pictures than how they appear on the sidelines.
Damn...Hahaha! That is too funny! Those pictures are just too hilarious. I didn't even catch that. Good sleuthing all around. Time to bring down the corrupt regime that has held the Song Girls hostage for the past decade!
Everything is a facade with the song girls these days.
I don't buy that explanation; there is something far more devious at play here.
They are lucky she was on the end. Can you imagine how the photoshopping would look if they had to pluck her out of the middle?
(That was an invitation to everyone with photoshop to do some work on the original photo to replace someone in the middle. My suggestions: Ronald McDonald and Matt Leinart.)
is it me or does the two girls on the ends of the top row look like the same girl?
Poof! She vanishes into thin air as if she never even existed.
Do you think they can Photoshop Tricia Pillsbury into a picture of the current Song Girls squad?
"Attractive business internship" is damage control talk for "she was kicked off the squad."
The two pictures are not the same...
I wish someone would Photoshop me off the USC sidelines...
That is one hilarious photoshop project! Lol.
The athletic dept. is lying about the real reason she left.
The thing is, you're required to have a minimum of 12 units to be on the squad each semester. When trying out, the girls know that they're supposed to have that much for the spring and fall semester. She didn't have that much this fall semester, and yet she still tried AND made the squad.
Normally,that would've been overlooked as corruption has run deep in the squad this decade, but thanks to Song Girlgate that transpired this summer, the Squad has been hypersensitive to the scrutiny and criticism of nepotism and cronyism that they felt compelled to let her go due to this CLEAR and ESTABLISHED requirement that was previously ignored for well-connected girls (this same issue happened with Natalie who did not have enough units her last year on the squad).
But the athletic dept. would NEVER admit this.
They need to get someone who knows Photoshop a heck of a lot better than that. That is a horrible job.
How did that beast third from the left on top get on the squad?
There are only 4 good looking ones out of 13. Pathetic.
You know, it's not that these girls are bad looking; it's just that they're not good looking, like the Song Girls of the past.
They're just average, like something you'd expect at Stanford or Cal.
SongGirl-gate continues! The fraud perpetuates! Cronyism and nepotism thrives! The blue hairs in the SGSC are running the asylum! Bring back Dolly, bring back the Look, and revere the Pillsbury. The SGs jumped the shark when Fonzie jumped the shark. Quack, quack, the Mother Duckers migrate south this weekend. They embody the zenith of collegiate spirit. Please attend the SG tryouts at the Lyons Center in early October. "Bob Woodward" Wolf will post the details. God bless Lindley Bothwell!
I've seen these girls in person and they do not look anything like they do in this picture. Their faces have been heavily airbrushed. With three exceptions, they are all beat.
How did any of the girls in the back row make the squad? Or did some Bruin photo shop the picture?
This is a new low of deception. Is there anything the people in charge of the Song Girls will not stoop down to? Lies and deception are all they have and they are being rewarded by continuing their employment. Shame on USC.
Even the pom-pons in the front row are all fake and have added with a computer. Nothing is real anymore with the song girls. It's all computer generated.
