Yes, of course, it's PhotoShop. But it's damn funny PhotoShop.

Yes, of course, it's PhotoShop. But it's damn funny PhotoShop.

To tell you the truth, we’re not all that interested in the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. But we ran across this photo on the internet a few weeks ago and we’ve been looking for an excuse to run it.

But in case you care, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the controversial regulation on Wednesday.

Fox News reports:

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday granted the Obama administration’s request for a temporary freeze of a California-based federal judge’s order telling the military to stop enforcing the policy…

Government lawyers sought to suspend the ruling while appeals were pending, arguing that it would pose a major problem for the military. They said it could encourage service members to reveal their sexual orientation before the issue is fully decided.

Seriously. The photo makes this whole story worthwhile, doesn’t it.

  • Pretty funny. I think the body is actually Ohio congressional candidate Rich Iott, the guy John (bonehead) Boehner has decided to campaign for.
    Now that's funny.
    Jokes are funny

  • C'mon.
    When you have the 2 words funny and photoshop in the same sentence you don't automatically think iOwnTheWorld?
    For shame!

    That image (with the credits stripped off, arghhhhhh! ((no, you didn't do it. It happened long ago))) was my Reporting For Doody image.

    • Thanks to BigFurHat over at iOwnTheWorld.com for a copy of the original, uncropped PhotoShop work. If you haven't visited IOTW, try it. If we weren't too cowardly to cut ourselves, we'd ask them to be our blood brothers.

    • Ohh, Editor is so BUSTED !! ;-)

      Drat !! Now I can't get the Lumberjack song out of my head. You know, the part that goes:

      I cut down trees, I wear high heels,
      Suspendies and a bra.......

      Thanx a lot, Editor. :-p

  • That looks like it was taken during the summer and Barney has no fashion sense. You wear white pumps between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
