Diversity is great. Especially when it's organic and real and not a horrid photoshop job that completely undermines your intentions, like this cover of the Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department's Spring & Summer FUN Guide.

As you can see, the vaguely Latino father in the stock photo used for the cover was Photoshopped out in favor of a black dad. Bam! Diversity!

Of course, the Photoshop job is terrible, and the switcheroo is painfully obvious. But the most annoying thing about this picture is the forced, unnatural "diversity" that makes Toronto seem like a white-bred enclave of Alanis Morrissette-listening hockey players that doesn't have an actual family of color to photograph.

Perhaps next time the editors should rely less on stock images and Photoshop to convey diversity and maybe just, oh, find some diversity. And if they don't, for God's sake, hire someone to re-touch it. Get a better look at the comically botched photo after the jump.
