$328,835 photo-op. I could have done it in Photoshop in 30 mins.



It almost looks like it WAS done in Photoshop. Damn. What a waste of our money.

In case some of you missed the story last week. Here:http://www.usatoday.com/news/washing...-flyover_N.htm

The panic in NYC:

Pretty "dull" picture if you ask me (color and light). I think it NOW needs to be photoshopped...

the idea of taking the photoshoot was pretty lame and not really necessary at all...but the freaking out was also unnecessary

I think he means that it would be kind of obvious that all the people on the ground would see is a low-flying plane with a fighter jet following it. As in 9/11, except us being prepared to blow it up or something.

the whole situation was pretty dangerous IMO..

my friend works in jersey city, his entire building was in a panic, the building was evacuated!! he told me people were running for their lives down the stairwells in hysteria, which is dangerous in itself...

they should have warned the city!! how stupid!! did they not think people would react to a low flying plane in the city, WITH A FIGHTER JET TRAILING!
