Still Free-- Tagging Air Force Once

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

As the man behind this, Marc Ecko has brought to action the ideas which ferment in all of our minds. The anger at the police officer. The bullshit in the news. The disgust with those tax returns you just mailed out. All that venom, the rage against the legal machine, pulled together into a concise operation and an explanation why. Because when you watch somebody use Air Force One as a canvas, half the crowd asks "How?" and half ask "Why?" And maybe one person in that sea of confused and awed faces smiles. And nods. Because he understands. Not because he thinks he could do it better.

Because he knows we could do it better.

"Set an example like this, and you don't even need a church. All you need is a bullhorn, some wirecutters, and a can of flourescent spray paint. If you want to learn more about how these guys pulled this stunt off, the Man behind the Mission, or the political treatise which motivated Marc Ecko to make this happen, you can get it all right here. "

That was a pretty sweet video, but im pretty skeptical as to whether it was actually air force one - if you look in the links section there is a big article about the mock air force one used in the movie "Air Force One" with Harrison ford.

Anyway, if it is real, its prety ridiculous that the security guards watching the presidents personal airplane didnt see dudes running over to tag it - they could have just as easily planted a bomb or done something else to it.

Yeah is they would have seen him climbing the fence they could probably just shoot him... it seems like it wouldn't be hard to put a bomb on the plane

the respect comes in the message that he puts out there... not because he had the balls to do it.

Stupid he could have been killed. Laws against grafiti are pretty trivial compared to what is going on in america right not. War lies and censorship of the american people. Good message but I dont respect that guy at all.

I really doubt its all real, plus it would have been on the news, could be wrong though, IT would just make me pretty disappointed in our security measures at an airforce base with such an important task

hae to break it to ya, but is a hoax. and yes, i do have a source:

http://www.flightglobal.com/Articles...gger+admits+to+elaborate+hoax.html

it was a nice try, but you can find some faults with the video, for one thing, its air force one...all the air force one planes (yes, theres more than one) are almost always held in hangars, and they are always guarded

you people are morons if you think that shit is real, are you kidding me, you think two kids could just hop a single fence and then be that close to air force one, its obvious bullshit and all you morons that said shit about a political statement are idiots too, its a bullshit attempt to sell more of his video game, and his gay ass clothing

air force one is any usaf plane carrying the president

they have been 747s for about 20 years, but a plane sitting on the ground is not air force one, it is a plane
