— -- The Internet is having a field day with President Obama's slip-up in a news conference today during which he referred to "The Interview" actor James Franco as "James Flacco."

A Twitter user immediately created a photo mixing Baltimore Ravens' quarterback Joe Flacco with a photo of Franco, who stars in the embattled Sony Pictures comedy. The NFL's Flacco even tweeted at President Obama.
