Previously, global creative ad agency Victors & Spoils created a disturbing short clip on the incredibly obscene amount of Photoshop and airbrushing that are used on models in magazines, editorials and photo shoots.

Now, just in time for the [Christmas holidays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacolas-christmas-kindness), the creative ad agency has created a [parody of their previous video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign) where, instead of seeing the transformation of a woman turned into a model through digital airbrushing, they give the model a [festive makeover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cushelle). The video starts off with an introduction, “Ad agencies go to disturbing lengths to create the perfect image. Guess we’re no different.” The result is a model who is transformed into an obese Santa Claus, with rolls of fat hanging onto his sides, wearing nothing but his red underwear.
