They took Air Force One on location on Monday for a photo shoot over the skies of New York City. Unfortunately, they did it without notifying anyone in Mayor Bloomberg’s administration.
It was instant panic when the good citizens of New York City saw another 747 screaming in low over the skyline. They screamed. They ran. They feared for their lives. And rightfully so.
Perhaps all this could have been avoided with a little Photoshop. A little resizing here, a couple color adjustments there, and then top it all off with a little clone stamp tool. Voila! Air Force One over the Statue of Liberty.
No flights over New York City were necessary. No Air Force One. No fighter jets. No pilots. No crew. No fuel. It would have save you about $$328,825 and a ton of bad publicity.
IHateTheMedia.com proudly offers the President this stunning PhotoShop version of Air Force One over the Statue of Liberty.
Just one thing, President Obama. Could you send us $10 for the PhotoShop work? That’s what the kid next door charged us.
Update: I see Rush is mentioning Air Force One and photoshop all morning. Someone get him this story so he can see it.

There's no way this was a photo session.

I am loving this article.
We aren't even talking about WHY they wanted the picture!
"Sources said the chief reason for the panic-inducing flight was to create souvenir pictures of Air Force One flying over the Statue of Liberty to be given out - like a presidential tie clip - to family, friends or supporters"

Rush has been talking about the idea of this all morning. Someone who can get through to him, tell him it's here.
And hey, where's all our Digger's. Come on!
But....doing unecessary flyovers creates JOBS! This could be the key to solving the greatest economic depression ever!
Brilliant - 10 bucks - I am cracking up.
