This photo of a rather erotic itasha depicting a girl of tender years has surfaced. Driving it in public would probably incite arrest for disturbing public morals, even in Japan… Surely it is a Photoshop job?
It would be a paint job of rather stunning quality if genuine (better than any I can recall). Of all the dubious images we’ve seen of late, this one is probably the one presenting the most practical difficulties.
More importantly, could someone upload the original image to the Channel?

I think if you were skilled enough you could use your side mirrors. Or maybe it’s one of those windows that looks opaque but it’s translucent from the inside?
Could be me but if this was real, theres no way the driver is ever going to be able to reverse park.
Paintjob? tsk.
Automotive graphics are all vinyl decals printed on an industrial plotter nowadays. The only real skill is in applying them without bubbles or tears.
I had some spare time, so here is the undeniable proof that this was shopped (yet relatively skillfully – even though I could have done better ^^):
– First, I applied to the ”original” an Edge-detection with the Sobel algorithm (gradient radius 2.0>4.0). The result already shows signs of fallacy; the square patterns that appear in periphery of the image denote a different compression.

– Second, I used a convolution matrix on the generated image (parameters 0,1,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 /RGB) set to its detected median jpeg compression (85%). No doubts are permitted now: all the image seems blurry except some details of the pasted l♥♥i. Pay particular attention to the contours of the van.

nah, it could be legal, no naughty bits! ^^
