The insincerity of your protest is deafening

Actually, according to the US flag code, you could argue that it’s worse since the flag is never to be used for any other purpose including commercial advertising or merchandising:

“…or give away or have in possession for sale, or to be given away or for use for any purpose, any article or substance being an article of merchandise, or a receptacle for merchandise or article or thing for carrying or transporting merchandise, upon which shall have been printed, painted, attached, or otherwise placed a representation of any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign, to advertise, call attention to, decorate, mark, or distinguish the article or substance on which so placed shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days, or both, in the discretion of the court.“

U.S. Flag Code

Which would include this:

…this:

…and this:

These bigots shouldn’t be expected to actually understand such complexities or spend any time in study of their own system of governance, though…

this. I actually do not like the actual flag being imprinted on things in this manner.

Using the stars and strips to pattern something (like napkins and plates) for july 4th…doesn’t bug me. Having the actual flag exactly on a towel or hat or shirt…NOT OK.

Is that truck showing the flag flying upside down?

Oh shit, I just thought of the idea that will make me a millionaire! American Flag Truck Nuts! I said it first, you can’t steal it from me.

Maybe the flag was on fire, so he sat on it?

What about salamanders?

A good third of Amerikans are just willfully self ignorant and happy to be that way. How we have survived as a nation up to this point is a miracle.

@YetiLives

How we have survived as a nation up to this point is a miracle.

And the noble actions of people like this:

Don’t worry, when the national anthem comes on, he’ll lie on his stomach so he’s facing the flag.

[redesigned]

guys, its okay, calm down, did no one notice he is a WHITE MALE, so he can do anything he wants and it is his god given right to his freedumb.

@RickMycroft

What about flag boxer shorts?

only if you fly them at “half mast” if you know what i mean…

[R.Birks]

There isn’t a specific clause relating to ass wiping, so we could probably print flag toilet paper too

[generic_name]

That’s nothing, you should see the skid marks he left on his American flag underwear!

[Dammit. @rickmycroft beat me to it. . . more or less.]

[RickMycroft]

Flying them upside down would be a sign of distress.

[R.Birks]

For everyone involved

You guys are falling for the oldest trick in the liberal agenda playbook - crisis actors wearing anti protest clothes while simultaneously engaged in the behavior that they protest against.

Liberals do this all the time. ALL THE TIME

[LDoBe]

Sometimes it feels like giving them the Buzz Aldrin treatment is the only thing to do.

No, the REAL outrage is drinking beer through a straw. Who does that???

Can’t be Canadian.

[hecep]

I love that video.

[Mister44]

This will be added as a picture example for “irony” in the dictionary.

Hey now, too soon…

[fuzzyfungus]

I suspect that this gentleman has a perfectly consistent position.

Just one somewhere along the lines of 'sportsball negroes should be grateful for the chance to risk serious injury to produce sportsball for their betters; and demonstrate that however we demand they do".
