And I thought my yearbook was bad

I remember well taking yearbook as my elective in junior high. One of my classmates made a mistake that resulted in half the seventh-grade class having the wrong name caption below their picture. This sounds worse.
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.
I also remember my high school’s obsession with uniformity in the yearbook. In this case, it would seem that is the culprit.
The high school had required Lifetouch to make heads the same size and eyes at the same level in all student photos, company spokeswoman Sara Thurin Rollin said Saturday.
Nice going.
