An image created by a Twitter user who goes by the name IamHappyToast posted a photo that shows Morph posing just like Kim, for parody magazine Plasticine. The beloved Aardman character smiles towards the camera while exposing his plasticine behind, the image may incite some strange feelings to those who grew up watching Morph on children's programs like SMart and Take Hart.

Kim's cover is captioned with 'Break the internet' while Morph's cover was captioned with 'Fix the internet morph." The latters caption seems to be poking fun, the fact that Kim's cover has fallen victim to an array of photoshopped morphs including one, wherein Kim was turned into a Centaur. The image was created by Twitter user KelKulus who tweeted it with the caption, "Kim Kardashian looks so much like a Centaur in her latest cover that I had just had to take it one step further." Her infamous behind was also compared to Krispy Kreme's glazed donuts.

Unfortunately, Kim's cover did not go without any controversy, Jean Paul - Goude the photographer, who was responsible for the asset baring cover, does not have a clean history regarding racial slurs and racial undertones. He has been accused of objectifying and exoticizing women of color and their bodies.

Another issue that was raised by some observant people is, that the photo is strikingly similar to a photo that photographer, Carolina Beaumont took in 1973 entitled, 'The Champagne Incident,' which depicts a woman of color balancing a champagne glass on her behind with champagne floating midair.
