Air Force One Graffiti Hoax

Monday April 24, 2006
Quite a few folks were initially fooled by a fake video circulated last week, it seems, showing pranksters with cans of spray paint tagging the president's plane with the words "Still Free." Even the Air Force bit, scrambling a team of investigators to make sure no security breach had occurred. We now know the elaborate hoax was planned and executed by famed graffiti artist Mark Ecko. About's Political Humor Guide Dan Kurtzman has the scoop.

NO WAY I believe Marc Ecko or an associate of his did write on air force one cause he’s not a toy like you mr critic are you a graff writer what right do you have to discredit mr Ecko I am a Writer and an artist there is no distinction between the two art is graffiti and vice versa toys like you make me sick don’t you ever wonder why we write it’s not to be destructive I believe that graff is the best way to become famous while maintaining anonymity
