Anyone else see the blurs on the gut and butt of the older gent? Bwahaha.

Also some weird effects on the gut of the younger guy.

And the legs of the girl next to the older guy are missing. Send them Photoshop help first.

This is pretty strange. What's their angle?

Actually, not very cool. They decided to use my wife...

Use the "Report Abuse" link at the top of the page. Blogspot is Google is a US company. I'm sure you can get some action taken.

The only thing that is viable on their list of offenses is copyright infringement and Google only accepts copyright complaints in the form of a DMCA notice from the copyright holder (CAP/NHQ or CAP-USAF/NHQ I would presume).

Maybe Col. Weiss or Lt. Col. Lee can make something happen on this?

I wondered where TP's Ranger corps had disappeared to.

They're there - just difficult to see.

I found their "Commanding General of Operations." Problem is I only speak English... http://twitter.com/oficialdimas

This is nuts. It's one thing to be inspired by an organization. It's another thing to steal their entire website as they had done a couple years ago, their logo, pictures of their aircraft, and ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPHS of their members! I swear, someone in Brazil just wants to screw with CAP...

Quote@CivilAirPatrol The Brazil need our Civil Air Patrol. See 500 death in Rio de Janeiro disaster.

Might be worth are leadership to contact the STATE DEPARTMENT to ask the Brazilian Govt to tell them to knock it off!

We could fly down with some Hawk Mountain Rangers and kick some butt.

I'll volunteer to make the ranger rolls.

This is a rough translation (through an internet translator) of their about section on facebook:

THE P.A. C is a Force Helping to rescue this in several countries in the World, created in the United States at the beginning of the 2ND World War (Creation that after the end of the 2ND War gave rise to other Countries), England, Germany, Japan, Colombia

Yea, they try hard to relate to US, even though there are no real links.

JC004 · July 28, 2011, 03:33:02 AM

well their story from a couple years ago was a former CAP member started it. Either way, there's no international group of CAPs and they don't get to use CAP's seal, website design, aircraft, and members - even if there were some association.

Dear members of the CAP-USAF,
I am Captain of Brazilian CAP (Civil Aerial Patrol). Here in the Brazil we have problems of identification with the authorities as well as yours. With an aggravating one that in the Brazil we are not on here the BAF - Brazilian Air Force, qua makes it difficult our work still more.

I was more amused by:

QuoteDid anyone look closely at the expression on Maj. Dovers face in the sample? It looks like he just found out why everyone keeps calling him Ben

QuoteMr. Matthew Dover is really my old buddy Leo Burke from MI Wing. The original name on the card was "Benajmin Dover" and once CAP appoved that card style to go to the AF, Leo got cold feet and changed the name to Matthew Dover to preclude problems if someone on the Air Staff caught the joke and said "Alright, you smartasses..."

They're even stealing our smarta** remarks!

Hey I've got a great idea. Somebody send them a good image of the triangle thingy and ask them why they aren't using the current insignia. They can adopt it and we can get rid of it due to brand recognition and them using it...
