In a effort to be "cool", John McCain has MySpace page. Unfortunately for him, whoever set it up was lazy, dishonest, or both. The page is based on a common template. The creator allows it to be borrowed if credit is given. That wasn't done. Worse, the McCain page linked to the images on the creators site. That's a bit like copying somebody's work and then sending them the bill for the copying.
The original author took a creative revenge. It got far more attention than any legal complaint would have. He simply altered the original image to contain the following text:
"Today I announce that I have reversed my position and come out in full support of gay mariage…particularly marriage between two passionate females."
Brilliant!

And consider writing to McCain to tell him you approve of this change.
