(PHOTO: AP & Shepard Fairey...p.s. please don't sue me)Most everyone has seen this artistic rendition of Obama (... usually on the back of a Prius).
Well it appears that the Artist, Shepard Fairey from Los Angeles, who created the colorful creation from an AP photo taken by a Mannie Garcia, is being sue by.... well the AP.
Seems the news agency want it cut of this pie from this overnight sensation image.
Should they? Did the artist change the photo enough?
