I think that they edited the site after seeing this. If you look at the photo on their site, there is definitely evidence of using the clone tool, you can see repeated patters on the pants in that area.
Plus, if you look at the close up picture of the cross, not with the zoom tool, you can still see the “plumpness”
I seriously doubt that Banana Republic keeps an eye on Facebook just in case some errant schlong is point out on their website.
All these photos are no doubt retouched to a degree. No surprise there. It’s far more likely that the one posted above was “re-retouched” (it’s far too small for telltale details to show) than that such a thing ever made it onto the site.
It’s true, the main picture was edited by Banana Republic after this one appeared on FAILBlog, look at the 3rd close up picture and you can still see it!
I don’t get it, it’s not even that long. Why are you assuming it should belong to a black man? Compare it to the length of his hand, it’s only about six inches.
Nope. My husband looks just like this, even when he’s soft. Except he wears looser (or thicker) pants, wears it to the other side, and generally doesn’t try to swing it out towards his hip, instead preferring trying to get it to sit along the inseam to be a little less obvious.
When I was in college I worked on the student newspaper. We had a fluff piece about the campus blood drive. The photographer took a picture of the college president donating blood. I don’t know if it was a set of keys in his pocket or he thought he was donating something else, but we had to crop the hell out of the photo to get it to work. Fortunately we saw it before it went to press, although it might have enhanced the president’s legacy at the college. All he got in the end was a building. At least they erected something for him.
I work at a company that shoots pics for lots of clothing and home items. All these pics are heavily scrutinized and retouched before going out. There’s a whole approval process.
Not likely that would have made it past the photographers, retouchers, and approval people…

Current Picture on BR site modification time: August 03, 2010, 12:31:18 AM
Picture here modification time: August 03, 2010, 10:35:57 AM
It’s clear the picture on BR changed after the one here taken!
BN have shopped it after it was on their site, when you look at the picture which is now on the webby, you can tell it’s been clone stamped to death to get the image looking respectable xD
The same crease/shadow/whatever that is line has been repeated exactly around 3 times really close together. BN obviously noticed and clone stamped it out.
I’d just like to chime in and say that I saw this (friend posted a link on FB) before it went on Failblog, and it was indeed that way on the original site…the current picture has been retouched.
There are 4 pictures on the BN site for those pants, and the one that is really close-up is not retouched (third one I think) and you can see the top of the banana. The zoomed out one has totally edited that banana out with a clone stamp.
i call sock
Left a roll of quarters in the pocket
Are you that happy to see me, Danni?
As always, darling!
Wouldn’t it be a banana?
…or something a little more nasty, which is why it’s a fail.
second
Fake. Have a look on the website.
Yep. I checked out the website too, this is a shoop.
ooohh, so that is that was salt and peppa were rapping about…..a fake johnson called a shoop
Yep. Shopped it is. Here’s the original: http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=25789&vid=1&pid=762202
or maybe they edited the photo after they have noticed this?

You’re right, Pjay. I’m a professional retoucher and the job on the site is amateur. It’s definitely been retouched.
Irks me. I used to make a lot of money doing this, now amateur hackjobs are ruining the industry for skilled professionals.
Professional retoucher?
Job description fail.

Uhh…just how closely did you have to look at that guy’s dong to make this determination? Fail…
check the 3rd box. they didnt bother to take out the boner in this one.
It’s true, the main picture was edited by Banana Republic after this one appeared on FAILBlog, look at the 3rd close up picture and you can still see it!
agree i checked too totally fake
damn… I was going to counter with win, but it’s a faux c**k. This makes me sad. :{
where have all the bananas gone…
5th!
Technically, aren’t you 2nd?
no, technically he’s fourth
Wait, who’s on first?
obviously you are JD. Keep up
O.o well thats one way to keep fruit fresh…
Oh! MY!
O_O
well it is a herringboner tailored suit, what do you expect
from the boner republic?
Hes my twin brother.
Hello Vincent Benedict. Welcome to Failblog.
So does that mean that you both share that habit of rolling up socks and putting them in your pants?
Clearly shopped, his hands should be brown.
I don’t get it, it’s not even that long. Why are you assuming it should belong to a black man? Compare it to the length of his hand, it’s only about six inches.
He’s definitely a “shower” not a “grower”.
I wonder what he looks like when he’s excited?
actually, if this is real, he looks hard to me. if he was soft, you probably couldnt see it.
Nope. My husband looks just like this, even when he’s soft. Except he wears looser (or thicker) pants, wears it to the other side, and generally doesn’t try to swing it out towards his hip, instead preferring trying to get it to sit along the inseam to be a little less obvious.
Win.
BananaCurved Yellow Fruit Republic.yellow curved fruit republic ftw
It is Banana republic after all…
Hello! it is the banana republic after all what did you expect? a weiner?
Went to the site
http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=47523&vid=1&pid=762202
Can’t see it.
Well, they are herringbone pants…
They might be hard to find in stores though, better order online.
All you find in that store is junk.
You might have to look a long time.
maybe he is just [b]exited[/b] to be in failblog
Lets have a long hard think about this…
Stop making f***ing awful jokes about the Banana Republic fail…
http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?searchCID=25789&vid=1&pid=762202&scid=762202002
The product itself.
It WAS tailored to show off his herring bone.
Everyone is talking about shopped shopped shopped. When they should really be talking about the Herring bone.
This fail is a fail… The original URL follows and there is no banana involved:
http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=34724&vid=1&pid=762202
Haha, I just checked this myself and was going to post the link. Good investigating.
Shopped. Just look it up.
http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=47523&vid=1&pid=762202
Totally shopped check out the original on banana republic’s site

Trouser snakes are popular this time of year.
Snake!!!!
Banana? So this is still life photography?
*Boner WIN
Fake? http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=47523&vid=1&pid=762202
haha if you look at the BR sight now they edited it out!
http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=34724&vid=1&pid=762202
Probably more likely the someone shopped it into the original than that BR shopped it out.
They sure make cell phones in weird shapes these days
Had to look it up for Poops and Grins and they’ve since ‘fixed’ the photo. LOL
Fixed. Ha.
I really wish this were real but I don’t think it is: http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=47523&vid=1&pid=762202
It’s five o’clock somewhere.
Is that a Banana Republic in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
That’s not what it looks like on the website. Fail FAIL
I just looked at the photo on their site. It’s been changed so either this photo was shopped or theirs was.
Welcome to fail(shop)blog.
Actually if you look at the original site you can see it’s very poorly clone-stamped out, and the vague beginnings of the shape are still there.
It’s real.
This
Correct. It’s the original on the BR site which has since been ‘shopped’.
Yep you’re right, you can see the color distortion on the one on banana republic’s site so they changed it after.
is that a banana, or are you just happy to see me?
Banana fail or well endowed model win?
It’s clearly a win for the guy with the big dong, and a fail for the shop XD
lol if i was that dude, i’d frame that pic, and put it on my mantle
FAKE!!
http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=47523&vid=1&pid=762202
BAN!
I don’t get it

Fluff piece.
those pants, are sooooo comfortable!!!
Banana Republic indeed.
win? anybody?
totally.
I work at a company that shoots pics for lots of clothing and home items. All these pics are heavily scrutinized and retouched before going out. There’s a whole approval process.
Not likely that would have made it past the photographers, retouchers, and approval people…
That isnt a schlong, its just a random fold you perverts. Get your minds out of the gutter.
ye i also get random folds =)

Actually that doesn’t make the argument well, since 1230AM comes before 1035AM.
thats when you saved it to your computer
anyone notice its “banana republic”
is that a banana in your pants or are you just glad to see me…
Lucky that the brand is not called “Watermelon Republic” !
Wow…if that is him limp…
Definitely a win. People are such prudes!
BN have shopped it after it was on their site, when you look at the picture which is now on the webby, you can tell it’s been clone stamped to death to get the image looking respectable xD

Herringbone…. the boner is a red herring. Interesting, I’ll buy one….xxl
looks like a win to me.
i would expect somthing like this from somthing called the Banana Republic.
FFAAAAKKEEE

Do you still want to do like a monkey?
were they hoping for an increase in sales?????
it makes me sad that this is fake… it makes me not trust you anymore, failblog. you broke our trust circle, failblog.
It’s the pleats!
Tommy Lee’s new gig?
Haha best comment!
someones hot for the cameraman.
The model’s boss:
“I don’t care if you have a boner! We’re on a strict timeline! Now put those pants on and get out there!”
Is that a banana in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
A tailored herringBONER suit pant?
take a look at the thumbnails under the picture. the third one is a closeup…which is not edited until now.
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and I’m much bigger.
oh snap…
Thats not a banana!

Are you sure that’s not a win? Because I definitely think it counts as one. lol
He puts the banana in Banana Republic! : b
This is FAKE!!! Here’s the real picture http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=47099&vid=2&pid=762202
It’s “The Puma” from 500 days of summer
Good for him. Unless it’s just an unfortunate shadow.
You can always expect a yellow curved fruit in your banana republic pants
you’ll LOVE the way you look. i gaurantee it
Why is my picture here? I see no fail in this. They were hiring guys with big bananas that dressed to the left. Hit me up ladies^^
