Matt Ortega, Astrotruth.org, caught 
the American Petroleum Institute photoshopping a stock photo to make the group look a bit more like America. Oops … put a black head on a body but forgot to color in the hands. (Perhaps their graphic ‘artist’ failed color within the lines?)
Rachel Maddow followed up … and provided some more detail. There was another white head lopped off, to be replaced by an Asian man.
To top it off, as Maddow’s notes, this same stock photo was used by the coal industry earlier this year in a different deceptive campaign.

Wow, this one is sad, pathetic, disgusting, and just a little bit funny. Kind of like my life on a daily basis. (Just kidding. My life’s disgusting only every other day.)

It’s just not even realistic looking for the rest of the photo either. I mean, I’m not great at photoshop, but I don’t attempt projects like this for pay.
