Hello? Is anyone at the White House paying the slightest bit of attention?

Uhhhh, this isn't exacly how you want to discourage copycats.

The photo has already been viewed almost 9,000 times and has some 119 comments.

We're not quite sure why the White House posted the picture -- we thought sports TV crews have established a good precedent of not televising streakers and other people who run onto the field.

Maybe it's good to have a sense of humor, or show some accountability, but it's also giving the couple the exact kind of attention they want.
