Digital Camera Removes Clothes

Dear Aunties,

My digital camera removes clothes. I don't mean that it actually takes them off the people. I mean I take photos of people wearing clothes and when I download them onto my computer, all of the people in them are naked.

You may think that this is a good thing, and sure enough, I plan to take my magic camera to the next Kings Chix concert, but for now, it is a disaster.

Before realising its special properties, I took the camera to my girlfriend's gran's 90th birthday. Most of the guests had never seen a digital one before and looked at their (clothed) bodies in the view finder with excitement, asking when they could get copies.

Then I took photos of my nephew's school play for my brother, who couldn't be there himself.

What am I going to tell all these people? If they see these photos they'll think I'm one of those sick freaks who grafts their friends' heads onto porn stars bodies!

Dear Toby,

In an increasingly competitive market, mnaufacturers of digital cameras have had to become inventive. Your "clothing enhancement" mode is probably accidentally set to "naked". Just switch it to "casual" - that should be good for most situations. Or you could try "Father Christmas outfits" or "stitched fig leaves" for more adventurous shots.
