When perusing the junior bikini section on [Target.com](http://Target.com), potential shoppers were treated to a particularly egregious Photoshop flub.

Can you spot it?

No? How about now:

That’s right. Someone decided it would be a good idea to crudely take the erase tool to what looks like a teen model’s hips, arms, and most notably crotch to create a [thigh gap](http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/10/28/robyn-lawley-why-the-dangerous-thigh-gap-trend-makes-me-mad.html). It’s sloppy, and demonstrates an unhealthy depiction of a human body all at the same time!

The leopard print “midkini” used to be available on [this product page on Target’s website,](http://www.target.com/p/xhilaration-junior-s-midkini-2-piece-swimsuit-leopard-print/) but for some strange reason it’s currently down.
