Nice photo of someone literally wrapping themselves up in the flag.

From BartCop.com, photo by Christian Abraham



If being so "patriotic" looks this ridiculous, I'd rather be the lady on the left.

1. Does this idiot know it's against the flag code to wear an
American flag?

In other words, this asshole is being very UNpatriotic.

These people take ignorance to unimagined heights depths.

18. You are exactly right
Public Law 94-344 (94th Congress S. J. Res. 49), also known as the "Federal Flag Code." (July 7, 1976)

Section 4 (d) (in part):

"The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery."

Seems like a fairly clear guideline, doesn't it? Apparently, the asshole in this photo hasn't gotten the memo yet.

47. Well, not that I'm defending this loser mind you but
the law only applies to the actual flag you can wear clothes in the flag colors...

6. Excuse me sir, how many flags died so you
could look patriotic?

Idiot. I knew even in grade school that it was against the flag code to wear a flag - worse even than burning it.

41. So I showed this to the roommate
He's from China, and the first words out of his mouth were: "You can wear the flag here? It's illegal in China... wearing the flag there amounts to a stoning."

So I proceeded to tell him it's illegal here too. What's funny though, is that wearing the flag is seen as patriotic, yet burning the flag is seen as traitorous. The latter is usually used to make a point, though not always agreed with. But the former is desecration of the worse kind, desecration without knowledge while trying to display false patriotism and "style."

It really is sickening.

56. Yes! It was on Merv Griffin, then on CBS -- March, 1970...
The CBS network prez taped a 5-minute hoo-rah explanation on why he gave the go-ahead to obscure Hoffman's flag shirt. Where I was watching (in L.A.), all you got was the audio portion of the program.

Today, right-wing psychos think it's A-OK to wear American-flag g-strings.

What a load of horse-flop. :grr:
