Did they actually ADD high ISO noise to the freakin pic?

And? Depends on the context of the shot...and what the company wants. Not everything has to be 100% noise, grain or artifact free.

What's the problem? Effects are subjective.

As it was mention, sometimes high noise is favored when trying to create a certain shot. In this situation, the higher noise makes the photo look a bit older.

True, she looks less jailbait-ish in the rightside photo.

Oh wait you were talking about the photo.

Carry on, carry on. 😉

OP, care to comment or are you still f@pping to this outrage?

 

[iGas]

Yes they did, and I think it is a generic old film/paper effect. Increase contrast with slight reticulation possibly a some cross processing effect.

Yeah, people have been adding grain to photos, including a lot of 'glamour' photos, for about as long as there was grain to add, and far before it was noise.
