If I was the father covered up in the original photo to attempt to show greater "diversity", I'd be pretty peeved.

There was a Torontoist story on this a few days ago. The original is a stock photo, so the the father, assuming that's even a real family, signed a model release. Pay for the photo and you can do what you want with it.

That said, I think what they've done to it is pretty stupid. At the very least they could have hired someone proficient with photoshop.

I'd say "I can tell by the pixels" but I like to think I'm more original than that XD

They may have well shooped Pedobear's face in.
