1. Is this?

[Mutley]

2. Nice!

[Catchawave]

3. LOL....yes it is....

Just thought a porn star (Mary Carey) might *burn* in hell faster with Old Glory embracing her ta-ta's. Gotta think like a Rovian :patriot:

[DS1]

4. Well, parts of her will burn slower, since Congress outlawed burning flags

her tits are in no danger of melting.

5. You don't consider georgie porn?

It's a close call. One is fucking everyone on film, the other is just fucking everyone.

6. So very true...and in answer to your serious question...

...a serious answer: yes. On both the bra, and Bush signing flags.

TITLE 4 > CHAPTER 1 > § 8
§ 8. Respect for flag

(Snip)

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

(snip)

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

(snip)

(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

Of Interest:
(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

7. Thanks! Does this cover patriotic....

...paper plates for my 4th of July festivities?

[mcscajun]

15. I don't think anyone's gonna come and get you, but...

(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

16. Interesting, thanks.

8. Too much flag worship

I like Bill Hicks' idea of having a picture of your parents fucking on the flag instead of stars and stripes.

[Catchawave]

9. This is Hard Work......

[Catchawave]

10. Oh boy.....

Holy Jihadi Feet !

[Catchawave]

11. No desecration imaginations ?

Goodness knows where banning flag burning will lead us ?

Just wondering :dilemma:

[TheMightyFavog]

12. At least you didn't post the one

With G. Gordon Liddy sporting that banana smuggler.

:scared:

[Left Is Write]

13. In my opinion, yes.

I feel the same way about flag underwear. I saw some cute little boxer briefs in my son's size today.

I just couldn't get past the idea of the flag draping his bum, though, and I declined to buy them.

Edited because the image didn't work - they were full flag underwear, not just a flag picture.

[Catchawave]

14. I understand...here's the big boy size:

[Floogeldy]

17. That's not a serious question.

Why did you lie to me?

B-)

[Catchawave]

19. LOL....No, Yes, I was serious.....

..must prepare ourselves for :scared: :nuke: :scared: tweaking the Bill of Rights :patriot: <---and this little guy may become illegal too?

[Outrider]

18. Yes,

There's a copy of the full code here: http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html#5


Some clothing falls under the rules for bunting, but much does not.

On edit: After a look at the photos above I think every one fails the test. They all fall afoul of the code.

[Catchawave]

21. It probably shouldn't be used as a doormat....

...either?

[ReadTomPaine]
