DNC Salute to Vets Featured Backdrop Of Russian Warships

An anonymous reader writes "Our politicians, and their henchmen, at their finest! In an apparent error, the Democratic National Convention's primary backdrop for its salute to veterans, by a 4-star admiral, featured a composite warship backdrop, in parade review, as a sign of U.S. strength and force projection; unfortunately, all of the naval ships in the image were Russian warships."

In Soviet Russia...

... the Democratic National Convention ... um ... Wait, what?

Well, this confirms it...

Democrats are commies

(I kid)

Perhaps they're hinting at future budget cuts.

After all, Americans fly into space with the help of aging Soviet technology; perhaps we'll be taking to the seas in mothballed Russian naval vessels - at least those ships won't be vulnerable to the Blue Screen of Death! :p

For national security reasons, the DNC decided to not use actual US craft in the photo. They did it to protect us all.

True story about bad Google image search results:

My best friend started working for a Catholic hospital and during the orientation the person giving the talk put up a series of what she felt wee inspirational slides.

One of them, she said, was God's hands parting a cloud so that the sun could shine through. It was a picture that had been made by Something Awful forum members that were putting goatse imagery into random scenes.

My friend just bout died trying to contain her laughter.
