[ReverendDeuce]

Turns out it was a fake after all! Still funny, though... :)

[sasquatch]

1. Well atleast we know he's got more balls than brains

That's for damn sure.

[QuettaKid]

2. WOW ! ! ! ! ! WOW ! ! ! ! !WOW ! ! !

that guy is my new hero. so much for security around "angel".....I mean my gob has been officially smacked!!!

[QuettaKid]

3. K & R.

how long untill this hits the MSM?

[TheDebbieDee]

4. OMG! How did this tagger even get near AF One?

Maybe the Secret Service has decided that this president isn't worth protecting!

[TAPat]

5. Right On!

Homeland Security and the SS are doin' a huckuva job! :)

[QuettaKid]

9. On second viewing,I have to question the reality of this video. . .

Marc Ecko is a very wealthy and wellknown, hiphhop clothing designer.....Is this video the real deal?

[Cooley Hurd]

17. Looking at it closely, and with the footage shot under the wing itself...

...I'd say, yep! It's real! :wow:

[imax2268]

6. Wow...

man...that takes balls...The guards have the authority to shoot on site...

How the fuck does the Resident expect us Muricans to believe that he and his cabal will protect us when a guy can get access to a federal installation and tag AF1 with spray paint...

[KansDem]

12. "The guards have the authority to shoot on site"

I would imagine a few guards will receive a verbal tongue-lashing of the worse kind.

[DS1]

28. Air Force and rifles

Just run directly towards them and you'll be okay :D

:hide:

[ovidsen]

7. If I wasn't seeing it with my own eyes...

The cynic in me is screaming "photoshop"!!

But I'm gonna k and r anyway...

[dweller]

8. what does it say?

in your pic?

dp

[ReverendDeuce]

10. The tag reads "STILLFREE", like the web URL... n/t

n/t

[dweller]

14. thanks!

dp

[QuettaKid]

16. KICK. . . . .this needs more eyeballs.

is it legit? any PS experts out there?

[otohara]

11. He's In A Fight w/ Denver

to hold a Grafitti Party here. G

[tridim]

13. That video speaks a million words.. Unbelievable!

So stunningly unbelievable that I'm still trying to figure out how they got away with it.

[Fridays Child]

15. Was this reported anywhere else?

I'd like to think he really did it but I don't know....

[Renew Deal]

18. That's amazing. When did this happen?

Any ideas?

[Ava]

19. i don't know if i'm believing this

i'm seriously wondering is this was faked.


regardless, it's an awesome video.

[tridim]

24. I starting to think it's fake too, but still cool

and very well done if so.

Does anyone really think the little dictator would let this guy remain free?

[KyndCulture]

20. Doesn't look faked to me. nt.

[Brigid]

26. This can't be real.

Even if some tagger did manage to get through all the security and do this, it would have been all over the MSM by now, I would think. But real or not, I love it.

[tridim]

30. Unless the Secret Service wanted to avoid embarrassment

Maybe they decided to hide it from the media.

I'm fascinated by this video, real or fake.

[htuttle]

32. Send the link to Olbermann

...And I bet it will be all over the MSM in no time. You don't expect the Secret Service to publicize it, do you?

[KyndCulture]

37. Hell no this is an embarassment to the security details.

That's why it's not out there.. so lets get it out there.

[htuttle]

38. I think it's quite real

Seeing the tagging in context, it would be incredibly hard to fake this -- far beyond what people consider 'photoshopping'.

I think that many people seem think the Federal Government is a lot more powerful and on the ball than they actually are...

[alcibiades_mystery]

41. I have written a lot of graffiti in my day

That video looks as real as can be.

I agree that it would be very, very difficult to fake the video. It's real.

It hasn't been released by the gov't because it is a major embarrassment to the Secret Service. hell, the fact that it happened at all is probably classified along with any reports about it, for "security reasons" of course. That's the real deal.

[alcibiades_mystery]

45. Guess not

Check link below.

Fooled me, and I've done stuff like this.

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. Awesome...reminds me of the old days, hitting the trains

Nice fuckin' job, Ecko!!!

Kill shit!

[Roland99]

22. Dude just bought himself a one-way ticket to Gitmo.

[htuttle]

23. Amazing! THAT's what I call counting coup!

[annabanana]

27. yup!. . . . n/t

[QuettaKid]

29. again, this guy is WEALTHY

maybe he felt he could afford the lawyer? He is HUGE in the hiphop community.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

34. a lawyer won't be getting him out of this if real

which i seriously doubt...

[alcibiades_mystery]

44. Ooops

At least, it looks real to me, and I wrote graffiti in NYC for years and years.

He'd certainly have charges lodged, but that's if the authorities reported it at all. You can see why they didn't. It is a major embarrassment. Filing charges would require public disclosure, and all the reports on this are probably classified for "security reasons," you know?

O edit: fooled me!

[annabanana]

25. pretty damn wild

If true, I'd hate to be the poor mook on patrol that night...

[xultar]

31. I BOW TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[underpants]

33. This is very disturbing

The fact that someone got that close to Air Force One (regardless of who is POTUS or what you think of him) is frightening.

[helderheid]

36. I had the same thought

[helderheid]

35. direct link

http://www.stillfree.com//wmv/Marc_Ecko_Tagging_AirForceOne.wmv

[QuettaKid]

42. I have watched it 4 times now.

I can see how it could easily be faked.....I mean think about what you can do with video. I saw a guy wrestling a shark the other night.

[gatorboy]

49. The shark wrestling video wasn't half bad!

I wish Deep Blue Sea had looked that impressive.

I do believe it's fake though? Those guys are way too open in promoting what they did. And besides, I doubt Marc Ecko would be so open to promoting the incident if it actually took place.

Still cool though!

There's also a link that details how Air Force One had been faked/duplicated for the movie "Air Force One".

[troubleinwinter]

48. Thanks. So it is essentially an advertisement video, like a music video

But also a political statement. Very well done!! It was certainly SCARY!

[-..__...]

51. Or a Bennington or Nike commercial....

"Just Do It"!

[Greyskye]

53. Was just coming back to post the same thing lol

Ah well. At least I found that before I forwarded it on. It was quite well done, however.

[MindPilot]

40. self-delete

[dubyaD40web]

43. Holy Crap!

This guy is awesome! I downloaded the video just in case his site gets removed, etc. This needs to be sent to all MSM!!

[QuettaKid]

50. damn. . . .I knew it was too good to be real ! ! !

still, the IDEA behind it is AWESOME.

[Goblinmonger]

46. Why I doubt this video

I am hoping that people more knowledgeable about graffiti and jets will help me out.

The letters seem to go on too quickly and too smoothly. Those letters would have to be HUGE and they go on too smoothy and too quickly. I have never done grafitti, but when I spray paint, there is no way I would be able to get that good of definition that far above my head. How far off the ground must the middle of that jet engine be?

Anyway, let me know where my thoughts have gone astray.

on edit: Guess I was right--yea me.

[alcibiades_mystery]

47. No, that's how it looks when you write

I wrote garffiti for years in NYC, on basically any surface there was. That's what it looks like when you write big tags like that, especially if you know what you're doing. The smoothness of it is actually the control exerted by the writer (paint control). If you're using non-standard caps for aerosol spray paint (the caps that come with the can are too thin, usually), you have to control your distance and speed to get good lines. It's not too smooth. It's precisely what tagging looks like when you see someone who knows what he's doing do it.

That said, the video is apparently fake, but the tag is no doubt real. Someone wrote "Still Free" on something, just not AF1, apparently.

[kitkat65]

52. Fake or not, it's brilliant.

To say it's fake if it isn't, is even more briliant. Why? Because to go after Ecko if he actually did it would expose the weakness of the POTUS' security detail. We're supposed to believe POTUS can protect us if he can't protect his own plane?

Not only that but to try to prosecute him for this only gets Ecko's message out to even more people, with many perhaps agreeing with him.

[Twist_U_Up]

54. According to BoingBoing its a fake

Excellent faked video:

www.boingboing.net

Air Force One tagged with spray paint
This video is fake. But it looks convincing to me. It shows Marc Ecko tagging the US President's Air Force One jet with the words "Still Free." Link (Thanks, Bill!)
