This week it came to light that BP had photoshopped—poorly—an official image of their crisis command center.

A sample:

The photo, sent in by a tipster and entitled "View of the MC 252 site from the cockpit of a PHI S-92 helicopter 26 June 2010," shows up here, a section of BP's website that hopes to explain their response effort through pictures. This one, sadly, is fabricated.

The first thing you might notice out of place is the looming air traffic control tower in the upper left hand side of the photo:

I like how the pilot is crossing his fingers too.

I read this on the gawker network yesterday and had a rousing laugh.

Not just the control tower, but the pre-flight checklist the pilot is going over - priceless.
For those who don't go read the article, the gauge cluster is also showing that the helicopter's parking break is engaged, as well as the ramp, and door are open.

My favorite though, is just the overall shoddy photoshop work. Geeze - if I did cuts this sloppy in professional level design work I'd never get a job!

I am Jack Bauer - unlike you I attempt to hide my celebrity.

How's Sigourney by the way?
And - have you seen Gozar recently?
