Amen!
As Twitchy reported Monday morning, Edward Snowden was not on the flight from Moscow to Cuba. Journalists were hardest hit and they hilariously posted pictures of his empty seat.
It didn’t take long for a parody account to appear.

I see, Edward #Snowden was supposed to be here.

A lot of people taking a photo of me lately. Maybe I should start charging for it?
— 17A (@SnowdensSeat) June 24, 2013
Or how about some selfies?
The seat next to me had an interesting story about #Snowden but a @BBCNews reporter is now sitting on it. How are you holding up, 17C?

What does a seat have to do to get a drink around here, #Aeroflot?
