I believe Taylor is much smarter than what most people make him out to be.
I think he realizes that these photoshops, while not helpful to his reputation in a professional setting, can certainly help turn him into an internet phenomenon.
If these pictures were to go viral, say they were to become a visual internet meme of sorts, Taylor will have in turn become more than just a man in the minds of his naysayers, he will have become an ideal for others to strive to.
Keep at it Taylor..
