Oops! Sorry your vulnerable teenager was emotionally scarred for life.

Isn’t an “unfortunate lapse in judgement” deciding to go with your wife to see Sex and the City? Isn’t it dating your ex-girlfriend’s sister? Eating the three day old sushi from the fridge?
Since the whole job of the publishing company is to put unaltered pictures of the students into the yearbook, I don’t think this really qualifies as a lapse in judgement.
Company to reprint yearbooks after head switching

McKINNEY, Texas (AP) — School officials say they are appalled by altered photos — including heads on different bodies — in hundreds of McKinney High School yearbooks delivered this week.

Besides the head and body switching, some necks were stretched, one girl’s arm was missing, and another girl’s head was placed on what appeared to be a nude body, with the chest blurred.

A spokeswoman for Minnesota-based Lifetouch National School Studios Inc. said the alterations were “an unfortunate lapse in judgment” by an employee but didn’t believe it was malicious.
