LOS ANGELES – NASA and LAPD officials were stunned late this afternoon when the Space Shuttle was tagged after being left unsupervised for only about 6 minutes. ”We are supposed to have at least two guards on duty 24/7 but evidently they both went to the bathroom at the same time,” said an incredibly embarrassed LAPD Captain Eddie Matthews. ”Needless to say this is going to delay the opening of the exhibit for quite a while.”
Investigation is underway to determine the identity of the taggers. ”This group was really well-organized and had incredibly large spray cans,” continued Matthews. “The officers were stunned when they came back to the scene. One of them told me he would have had a real problem if he hadn’t just gone to the bathroom.”
The damage is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars according to NASA liaison Nick Sput. ”We are going to have to bring in a restoration expert from the Smithsonian to handle this work. It is going to be really difficult to match the original paint exactly.”
Needless to say, security at the scene has been dramatically increased to make sure that this is a one time problem.

Looks like art to me!
One man’s art . . .
The s*** I get forwarded at work….funny stuff! Might have to buy you a scotch this Thanksgiving…
You are on with the Scotch sir.
This is a piece of United States History how could anyone do this ? I hope they get it cleaned ASAP .
We live in Hawaii and were planning a trip to Los Angeles to see the shuttle but now we will wait until the shuttle is back to it’s original status if it is ever done
Its fake you dumbass i know the little kid tht did this on photoshop he goes to my school and i guesse he thought doing this was funny
The shuttle is a piece of u.S. history how could someone do this / the cops left without replacements ? how did that happen ?
We were coming out form Hawaii to see the shuttle site this weekend but now we will just wait it out . Hope it gets restored soon .
What planet are you from? The article clearly states that they were cops. That means they can do anything they want, with no responsibility, no repercussions. If they want to leave the shuttle unguarded, they will. If you say anything, you’ll get your head bashed in.
Now it looks like the rest of Los Angeles. So what?
Something so important to history figured this would happen in LA..And Really Both cops had to leave at the same time..come on they new better they should be countable for there actions of leaving there post..Or…Both left at the same time cause they were in on the tagging..Police saying”What we dont see we dont know..
I can’t find any other news of this online, and this article is tagged satire. A YouTube comment says it is fake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Sb85r3SKc. Shouldn’t the writing have a more curved appearance?
Typical uneducated central LA losers! Someone pleae electrocute them… in public!
C’mon folks. Nick Sput? Did you really miss that? Damn we’re dumb.
It’s really Sputnick. He worked on the Ant-graffiti crew.
I’m suprised they didnt steal the tires or convert it into a lowrider……scum bags
Wow are you people idiots.. This is a HOAX. a 3 year old could look a this photo and see it has been doctored. The only shuttle to have been damaged was Enterprise when it was on the barge being moved to the aircraft carrier, and that was due to rubbing a bridge.. Truly, the right has to be the dumbest collection of people on the planet.
Darble Geeble Blabble.
This is fake. HELLO !
It is in restricted area. Grow up noobs.
You give a dingle berry about this but not about actual chem-trail programs designed to kill you slowly ? Wtf. noobs.
How sad. What kind of Trash does this ??!!!??
It is a HOAX. Simply Race baiting from the Right wing morons… Look at the picture, pretty easy to see this is a poor photoshop attempt.
What in the world does this story have to do with race? Any racism about this is purely in your own mind.
“Even the smartest of messycan taggers could not pull this off. Jeez gullible Idiots!!!”
Look at some of your posters, dude. THAT was the reference.
First, that is a comment from a reader with no reflection on the views of the writer or the publisher of the blog. This blog is about free discussion as long as that discussion stays on point. As the blog states in its “About Us” section, we are against racism in any form and nothing in the story has anything to do with race.
Hey Zeus……….the typical liberal…….takes for granted that some right wing person was to blame for this spoof!!! My guess is………. it was his own lil gang-banging punk son of his that photo-shopped it.and they call US raciests…………just sayin!!!

Actually *&^*, I do not have a son, and seeing as this site is named THINKINGRIGHT… wow aren’t you the biggest moron on the Internet today…
And so you know, my kids have far better intelligence level at their age than the average adult Republican.
But we’re still going to pay the bill for 24/7 security IN FULL aren’t we? The LAPD Captain should be fired! Usually one of these details requires sitting in a squad car on the side of the road. This is another LAPD disgrace!
PHOTO SHOP YOU *&^TRDS!!!!!!!
Context clues, folks! Now here’s a cool video to calm your nerves (or make you angry that money was spent)
http://framework.latimes.com/2012/10/15/time-lapse-video-space-shuttle-endeavours-trek-across-l-a/
Very funny. Unbelievably, a lot of people actually think it’s for real! Duh!
Anyone looking at this photo should know the picture is “PhotoShopped”
All of the graffiti was painted on a flat surface. The shuttle isn’t a “flat surface”. Some of the lettering extends beyond the shuttle. No one (no matter how many involved) can do that much graffiti in 2 minutes.
when I opened the link I expected to see the shuttle all striped down to its frame.That would have been funnier
I guess nobody noticed this was tagged under “satire”.
No grafitti crew in the world could do that in mere minutes.
It’s L.A,what do you expect.Security should know better.Hard to believe they did that in 6 min and no one saw anything
Even the smartest of messycan taggers could not pull this off. Jeez gullible Idiots!!!!
This is nothing compared to if it had been in New York….. It would be missing period!
I heard that later on all of the tires disappeared too.
That is a great reason why it should have gone to Houston instead.
“Don’t Mess with Texass” Huh.
my family worked on all the shuttles they should remove it at once screw LA they do not deserve it.
You are absolutely correct. They don’t deserve the space shuttle. They deserve reparation!!
fake!
Did ANY OF YOU notice the name “Nick Sput”
aka an anagram for the Russian word
Sputnick! SO YES it’s a SATIRE!!!!!
AND a Photoshop job
Wall street has its two parties, it’s time we the people had our own!
We the people do not elect the POTUS, the Electoral College does.
It won’t matter who you vote for, it will be business as usual, just the money going into a different pocket.
I encourage everyone to change their party affiliation to INDEPENDENT, We need to make all parties earn our votes.
If “WE THE PEOPLE” do this it WILL SEND A MESSAGE to the “powers that be” THAT WE’RE MAD AS HELL AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE!
Imagine if all the RED and BLUE States all turned GOLD and SILVER(real money feels soooo different and keeps its value).
READ THE CONSTITUTION AGAIN!(if you don’t have a copy, google it) Only it and the wisdom of our forefathers can save us.
Sgt. Mac – USMC – Vietvet – I served so YOU could be FREE! Financial terrorism is not freedom, It makes us ALL SLAVES.
If you agree, help me POST THIS.
Please help me make this go viral!
COPY & PASTE EVERYWHERE! You don’t need my permission.
The comments here are proof positive that most Americans will swallow any crap that is shoveled in front of them without question. A nation of blithering morons who couldn’t think independently or critically to save their lives. Sad.
I think the way the process works is that many people readily accept any information they encounter that confirms their personal beliefs. This was satire, but it confirmed the personal beliefs for some who like to get information from the ThinkingRight Blog. They accepted it without thinking.
I can’t believe the amount of IDIOTS that automatically believe everything they see on the internet or even the news for that matter. This country is so full of SHEEP.It’s obvious that this was nothing more than a spoof for amusement purpose only,but some morons are ready to go to war over it. Do us all a favor and go jump off a bridge or something.
where was this, inglewood? we know what kind of animals inhabit this dirty rathole…as a matter of fact same as rats only on two legs.
Maybe it was the Illuminati, or that raccoon in your trailer park. Oh, that’s your cousin…my bad!!
They have done some extraordinary disgraceful acts. Their deeds go before them.
The painters and police should be chargrd with TREASON! Where was DHS? Where was secret service?
i wonder how many of the other stories here are phonies
Only the ones clearly marked “satire” in the tag line at the top of the story. We are 98% news, 2% Onion.
Most of them..
That is so sad. Nothing is sacred anymore. I guess we’re lucky it wasn’t on blocks when the cops came back. It does cause one to wonder whether the cops were in on it. Hmmmmm….
Ha…!! That’s for all the money wasted going in space when we have so many disadvantaged people on the planet. They should have gone further west. Santa Monica, Beverly Hills.. They’d defaecate on it and it would be easier to clean up. Next time take it to Watts or Compton and put some shiny rims and hydraulics on it. They’ll make sure it’s safe.(GTS) Grand Theft Shuttle. This is too funny. Seriously,let the homies re-paint it, because they’re truly artist.(That was just a rush job)It would look so cool in space with the names of their tagger crew on it. Alien gang bangers would make peace!! Millions are spent on paint to cover up L.A. Street Art. What a waste. The person to look at is Mr. Executive from NASA, who decided to park it in “Inglehood” not the security guards. I hope the guards weren’t Black or Mexican because they will be blamed for it. Secret Service was probably sleep, or somewhere kicking it. “Beam me up Scotty.”
Come on now, I know you’re all Red, White, and Blue in the face about this so cuss me out. I need another good laugh. I know some local painters that will paint it for free.They just need help purchasing new paint brushes.
Me and my family went to downtown L.A. on Sat night to see the shuttle. Cops everywhere. Security everywhere. City people everywhere. And a million people from all walks of life , including us, where there crammed on Crenshaw and Martin Luther King Blvd. all taking pictures and standing in awe to see Americas spaceship. The ship that freedom built. LAPD reported that there was no arrests that night. It was a fantastic moment. The shuttle is fine.
I cannot believe that you fools are falling for this fake article.
Can you see that this article is made up? It says it’s tagged as satire. And most of you think this actually happened? LOL man….
What a bunch of idiots.
Not right the little children will not be able to appreciate the Space Shuttle in the future. This is what happens when you give it to Los Angeles. This isn’t Iraq or Russia and people should show some respect. Show some respect people!
PS: who will be paying the repair bill? America.
Freakin libtards will believe anything. :/
Bob Dean, this is a conservative site. What is your basis for using the word “Libtards”? My guess is those believing this story would mostly be people who describe themselves as conservatives. Not Contards, conservatives. Name calling does nothing to further any discussion.
cactus?!
