I am not going to pretend that I am somehow above petty displays of disrespect. In fact, I think if you do act like you are somehow "better" than subtly insulting people that you don't like then you're trying far too hard to be the bigger person. My only problem with the scrubbing of any and all definition from the flat stomach of the most angelically built man in all the world is that it's doesn't achieve the intended goal. No one, outside of Cristiano Ronaldo himself, is looking at that photoshop of his abs and thinking about anything other licking them. Come on Catalan TV! All this really did was compliment the guy you were trying to embarrass in the first place. You filled in a few cracks and crevices and his torso is still the envy of every man not named Channing Tatum. You spent actual man hours electronically undermining his physique and I would still trade the most prized of my possessions for it. The viewing audience saw that picture and said to themselves "that's not right, that body looks like it was sculpted by Jesus when it usually looks like it was chiseled by Zues". Next time take a shot at his knee - that's starting to resemble that of a newborn baby deer - because those abs of steel are far too hot to be touchable...no matter how many of your mics he throws in the lake...
