Anybody see a problem with the image in this blog post?  Maybe at the top?


I wonder what kind of piano that is.

Hahaha!  Oh yeah!  ;D

Yes, don't spoil it.  That's a good one. 

I wonder what those would be. 

It's always fun to catch that kind of stuff in advertising.  Reversed pictures, models who don't have a clue of how to play an instrument, etc.

Haha.  ;D

But I can't help to wonder why they didn't correct that though? Was it intentional? It's fairly obvious, I might say.

Well what if it's this way on purpose? Like that they wanted to show that there was something wrong? Cause it's on the right side too, just like there was something wrong with his right hand. And it looks kinda like something is happening with the piano I mean cause the keys are not even. Kinda like the right side of the piano is a little defected just like his right hand was. Well I don't know, maybe that's a kid way of thinking but...  :P
