Whooops!

The new Texas director of homeland security is running for lieutenant governor. So how better to bolster his campaign than a glossy ad featuring an Air Force officer and the American flag? The only problem: it's a Luftwaffe officer. Is it me, or have the folks who provide stock photos become especially lazy? They must have used the same guys who put Bert on the bin Laden poster.

Props to Metafilter for the story.
