Diploma For Sale
An interesting little story about those fake diplomas - you know, for entertainment purposes only! - which can be found on the ‘net. Local college representatives and the Attorney General of the state of Arkansas were interviewed, and it was the latter which provided a source of great frustration for me. (Not for any personal or political reason - I actually like the guy.) But our photog interviewed him standing in front of a huge sign reading CRAWFORD COUNTY DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS, which I had to find some way to deal with, since we were in election season and it could be misconstrued as a political spot. I ended up blurring the hell out of half the screen, starting just to the right of his face. You can still tell what the sign says, but at least we demonstrated a good-faith effort to avoid letting a “free product placement” slip through the cracks.
