$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

That's the only one I could find so far.

AllydNYC · 05-08-2009, 08:15 PM

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

Alright, you asked for it. This one actually only took me 10 mins. And yes, I'm a PC.

Scorpion · 05-08-2009, 10:21 PM

I could do that in paint lol, jk.

TiAg335i · 05-08-2009, 10:33 PM

that's ridiculous....seriously....

who the hell thought it would be a bright idea to fly a giant plane 1000 feet over NYC? with a fighter jet following it no less?

darkphantom · 05-08-2009, 10:47 PM

I heard this on the radio several weeks ago. What fking morons. I mean, seriously? WTF were they thinking, and wasting 300k+ on a stupid "photoshoot" ??

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.

jlstyle · 05-09-2009, 02:18 PM

Wow I was expecting some great ass photoshoot at least.....
What a dumbass...
Totally 10min. photoshop job with better result.

E91 Dude · 05-10-2009, 04:28 AM

Hahahaa, this dude photoshopped an air force one over the statue of liberty. Classic!

hahahahahahahahahahaha thats hilarious, double meaning of af1

rawedge2 · 05-11-2009, 11:22 AM

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!
