German Pranksters Decorate Doggy Doo With Bush Flags
Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking miniature flag portraits of US President George W. Bush into piles of dog poo in public parks. Josef Oettl, parks administrator for Bayreuth, said: "This has been going on for about a year now, and there must be 2,000 to 3,000 piles of excrement that have been claimed during that time."

The series of incidents was originally thought to be some sort of protest against the US-led invasion of Iraq. And then when it continued it was thought to be a protest against President George W. Bush's campaign for re-election. But it is still going on and the police say they are completely baffled as to who is to blame. "We have sent out extra patrols to try to catch whoever is doing this in the act," said police spokesman Reiner Kuechler. "But frankly, we don't know what we would do if we caught them red handed." Legal experts say there is no law against using feces as a flag stand and the federal legal experts say there is no law against using feces as a flag stand and the federal constitution is vague on the issue.

11. Yes, But Can You Ship it?
I don't think you can ship dog shit in any standard way. You can't mail it. Fedex won't take it. And UPS will turn up its nose.

However, you can mail Bush flags. Go figure.

4. The flags are available as a free downloadable pdf.
Print 'em and stick 'em. But don't let anyone charge for 'em.

5. Think of this as an area beautification project.
I got seriously flamed in the lounge last week for my sigline. There were a few threads going for a bit (search the lounge for keyword DOGCRAP.)

9. this is a valuable public service!
The people who avoided stepping in the poop because the hideous visage of Bush warned them away must be very relieved.
