In order to promote the Paralympics (http://www.dailydot.com/irl/vogue-brazil-photoshop-amputee/), most media outlets are featuring actual Paralympians.

But Vogue Brazil (http://gizmodo.com/vogue-brazil-photoshopped-models-to-look-like-they-have-1785743122)decided to take things in a slightly different, more questionable direction. For their latest photo campaign to promote the games, the magazine Photoshopped two able-bodied models, Cleo Pires and Paulo Vilhena, to look like they had physical disabilities. Photo editors ******* Pires' arm and Vilhena's leg to look like actual Paralympians Renate Leite and Bruna Alexandre.

Both models are reportedly ambassadors (http://gizmodo.com/vogue-brazil-photoshopped-models-to-look-like-they-have-1785743122) for the Brazilian Paralympics committee, and each has posted screenshots of the athletes on their personal Instagram pages (https://www.instagram.com/p/BJf3RCaDbvI/).
