'Fantastic': Snicker! Is the ad on WaPo's Snowden story unfortunate or awesome? [pic]

Side-splitting irony!

As Twitchy reported, the NSA “whistleblower” has been identified as Edward Snowden. Is the ad that showed up on The Washington Post’s Snowden article the most unfortunate choice ever or the most awesome? You decide!

The author of the piece is going with awesome.
