Do you really want to hurt the flag?
If there was one thing Boy George did well, it was making a statement through his appearance. Telling by the picture, I think this is an American flag pattern, not an authentic American flag that has been transformed into an outfit. With Boy George, there really is no way of telling unless you right up … Continue reading »
That American flag is living on a prayer
Here we are with good old Bon Jovi sporting the American Flag as a cape. This seems to be the most popular way to use the flag with rockstars for some reason. It is against the US Flag code to wear the American flag as any forth of clothing, especially capes! This has to be … Continue reading »

In trying to sell swim apparel, it’s always important for your model to be carrying an American flag, right? Because swim apparel speaks to me in a sense of America. Well in this photo (eyes up boys) clearly the model is draging the American Flag on the ground. Or more letting it rest there. The … Continue reading »
We wish you a Merry Flag Day?
Just in time for the holiday spirit but I hope everyone had a safe one! In lieu of Christmas, I must put up the patriotic Christmas tree that I found. Of course, American flag tree!

A flag gone at Amli
Here’s a flag at Amli at Milton Park clearly needing a touch up. The fly end is extremely worn and the top stripes are fraying apart. Bad things is most locations like this will let these flags run to their last thread and when its in this shape it will continue to separate closer in … Continue reading »
Designed in America Flag
Ioffer.com is known for its cheap goods. And by cheap it normally means knockoffs of designer stuff and imported junk. Here we have an American flag. What striked my attention on this flag is what’s written in the lower left corner: “Designed in America. Product of China”. Hey, at least they’re giving America credit for … Continue reading »
How many stars on the American Flag again?
Only in Texas….or I mean China. A Man purchased an American Flag at the Dollar Tree in Dallas and got one heck of a flag! First off, buying an American Flag at the Dollar Tree is the first problem. Seriously, it’s ok to be cheap, but that’s REALLY being cheap. On his American flag, 11 … Continue reading »
Change “of a flag” You Can Count On
With all the money that goes to candidates for Presidency, you’d think they could hire a decent graphic artist that wouldn’t have Obamas head coming out of an upside down American Flag. Perhaps this is how someone got the idea for the Obama US Flag?
NBC Nightly News doesn’t know flag etiquette
We can thank NBC Nightly News for this one! Actually, their set decorator to be more exact. This has been analyzed by quite a few people and has acually been confirmed. If you notice between Obama and Sarkoz, the American flag is touching the floor. When on a flag set, the American flag should hang … Continue reading »
I don’t Biden if I do

Obi-Flag-Kanobi-Etiquette
Oh look, it’s Obi Obadike. According to his website he’s the worlds most ripped fitness model. That’s great. Wonderbar.

Holy Batman That’s America!
I think it’s safe to assume this photo is from the World Cup? Either way, there’s a few difference forms of flag desecration taking place here.

Take me to the VFW
In case you didn’t know by now (and every American should know this by birth), when your American flag is ripped to shreds and is no longer a symbol of pride but instead becoming a symbol of disrecpect, you need to retire your American flag properly.

The Patriotic Prom Duo
When you pose for you….prom photo? Be sure to wear your patriotic colors. And in Duct tape I think none-the-less! This isn’t so much bad flag etiquette a it is just interesting.
Yo’ kicks got an American flag on them
Despite being just about the tackiest looking shoes on the planet, these kicks also help desecrate the American flag in more than one way. Known as the “Born in the USA” Dunk shoe, it’s clear the creative director of this photo shoot was not born in the USA. They should have known better than to … Continue reading »
I See-Thru your American flag Disrespect
Round….I can’t even remember what round…of the Mexican and American flag week.

Mexican-American Flag Hybrid
Round 3 of the Mexican and American flag disrespect week. Clearly noone got the memo at any american flag shops to create this flag. It’s part American flag, part Mexican flag. For one, we here in american don’t ever want to see any flag become part of ours, especially in this manner. And secondly, who … Continue reading »
American Flag on the Bottom…no no no.
Round 2 of the Mexican and American flag etiquette week. Here we have what is known as a protestor, clearly flying both flags on a flagpole.
