And the fact that my full time employer sues lots of folks every year for "parody" of your logo. If it was as easy as saying it was a "parody", we wouldn't have such a huge legal team.
Not to mention, I am a photographer part time as well, and I'm pretty familiar with copyright law since I had photos infringed upon a few years back when a "for hire" contractor ended up not paying in full, but used images anyway.
OMG you two
enough already
it's the .gov's photo and their terms of use claim is mostly BS
lets continue to make fun of it
stop pissing in the shallow end of the gene pool already

Remember the line most people seem to have a problem with is the "The photograph may not be manipulated in any way..."Did you all read this?
Don't worry, no one here approves...so the pics are fair game.
Remember, I said "US Government" works. Works by states or smaller political subdivisions outside of the Federal government can indeed hold copyrights if I'm not mistaken.I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. If your tax dollars paid for it, its in the public domain.
