“We have published by mistake a modified version of this photo on the site,” the magazine wrote

Lol riiight, that’s believable. Why did you modify the photo in the first place? Someone had to actually do a couple minutes of work to remove the pin.

I wish people would just own their mistakes, not tell condescending and unbelievable lies about them. We’re not as stupid as they think we are.

The damage was already done. Fuck Vanity Fair.
