The pixelator

Following up on Nate’s post about retouched photos, The Daily Show has revealed some contemporary presidential image-retouching:

Apparently the Vice President has had his residence pixelated on Google Earth. Interestingly, the White House and Congress are left in high-resolution.

Update: The YouTube video I had orignially linked is gone, so I replaced it with a video from Comedy Central’s site. I was informed, however, that the video will “expire on July 28, 2007.”
