"A video has surfaced on the Internet that appears to depict a man spraypainting graffiti on the engine of Air Force One...but it's a fake"

Hmmm. . .

Yeah. This is a phony tape, somehow digitally tinkered to make it look like Ecko defiled AF1. As someone who has flown on AF1 as a member of the media many times, it is not possible that Ecko -- or anyone -- could have pulled this off. For one, the plane is never parked that close to a fence. Ever. It's always out in the open -- especially at Andrews -- and would take a sprint of at least 150 yards to get to the engine. And guards don't walk by on patrol like some World War II prison camp movie. They form a phalanx/perimeter and keep very sharp eyes out at all times.

Also, the engines of AF1 are up pretty high. Ecko would have to reach up at least 12 feet to spray where he said he sprayed.

D'oh. Well, I feel pretty stupid. Last thing I wanted to do is perpetuate an Internet hoax.

Sorry, everyone, I got pwned big-time.

Mods, feel free to yank the thread or tweak the title to indicate it's a fake or whatever.

*slinks off in shame*
