The Atheist Tries to Teach the Catholic (and State Legislator) Morals.
"No we are not going to send this press release and picture depicting the XXX All-City Choir singing the National anthem at the State House."
"Why not?"
"Well because you coerced the State House photographers into digitally inserting yourself into a picture you weren't in! Not that anyone will be paying attention to the details of a photo submitted to the local newspaper but that's not the point. You are assuming that all eighty singers and all legislators present will be complicit in your deceit. You are assuming I will sign my name to a press release that is false. What if just one student in the photo notices something amiss. And that student talks to another student. And suddenly in your very small everybody-knows-everybody city, word gets to the local paper. And then that local reporter calls the State House. How is that going to look?? Unable to get to the State House to hear the singers but unable to resist the chance at good publicity, you had yourself airbrushed into the photo!! YOU DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??"
