blurring the flag desecration lines
What if 1000 people stood down the street from the capitol building and burned 1000 flag posters made out of paper.

What if a performance artist smashed a TV with a flag on the screen?

What if we created little burning-flag animated signatures?

What if we created a book filled with photos of the flag and burned THAT?

What if we sold flag toilet paper? To France?

1. Do the French hate the U.S.?
I thought they just weren't stupid enough to get into Iraq.

4. What if a drill team carrying American flags marched in a
swastika formation?

What if I froze the flag in a public display explaining that I was preserving it for a day when the country was worthy of such a symbol?

What if I made a flag out of something that wasn't flammable, doused it in lighter fluid and let the lighter fluid burn off of it?

8. I think, officially,
France has always liked America.

The French people, on the other hand, don't seem too thrilled with American PEOPLE.

;)

10. Can't blame them for that.
I'm not thrilled with American people either.

3. If this passes, I want every
single person who displays a dirty, torn, frayed, faded or stained flag to be arrested.
I want every person who allows their flag to touch the ground or flies it at night without lighting to be hauled into court.
I want every person who improperly disposes of the flag to be jailed.

It's unamerikkkan, after all.

5. There's another thread - already back to page 3...
Touches on the stuff that uses the flag image which might be offensive in some interpretations...

List despicable uses of the flag here.

13. Oh, the weekends would have
meaning again !

Or, we could dress like cops and hand out fake citations to the misguided patriotic perpetrators who despoil old glory...
