Actress/dancer Julianne Hough decided to perform a little bad flag etiquette recently! Granted this is an American flag towel so it’s not using a fully useable American flag that you would fly, however it’s still violating the Flag Code in itself because Old Glory is not to be reprinted like this. On top of that, … Continue reading »
This year on September 11th, the Ravens-Steelers game started off with a beautiful ceremony honoring the attacks on our country using an oversized American flag covering the field. However, a few of the Baltimore players kept their skull caps on while holding the giant flag!
I’ve posted about Kid Rock and his flag poncho before. This is a new photo showing it….classy Kid Rock, classy. I kid when I say poncho, because this is clearly actually a real American flag with a hole for the head cut out. The American flag should never be worn like this. “The flag should … Continue reading »
This baffles me in more than one way. First off, Sarah Palin hasn’t been known for her flag etiquette throughout my blog. This video which was sent to me by a reader named Gurpal shows a few odd things. 1.First off, when someone is speaking to an audience, the American flag needs to be on … Continue reading »
Bon Jovi is just all over the American flag! This time again, wearing it as a cape. Never seems to fail fr rock stars! Not sure where this was taken at or what year, but either way, you are not to wear the American flag as any part of clothing like this, or as part … Continue reading »
Oh Vanilla Ice. You rocked a mic like a vandal, and that patriotic flag jacket to the extreme. There was something about the 80′s and early 90′s that made everyone want to go patriotic. The apparel was very “I heart America” and well, any celebrity caught in a coat like this today would probably lose … Continue reading »
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 »
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 »
Did you know February is black history month? Well I’d love to portray that holiday on Flags Gone Wild but know it will be taken in the wrong sense by half who read it.

These photos are from the Video for “Up on the Ridge” by Dierks Bently. The flag looks almost like a vintage styles amerian flag,usually tea-stained however the top stripe is clearly torn. OBviously another perk of being in HOllywood is that you never have to follow the flag rules, or any rules for that matter! … Continue reading »
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?
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 »
You would think the Vice President would know better than to rest the American flag on the floor. But as you have seen from past posts, not that may political figured know the US Flag Code.
Oh look, it’s Obi Obadike. According to his website he’s the worlds most ripped fitness model. That’s great. Wonderbar. Well Obi-wan-kanobie, you’re also decked out like a soldier and holding the American flag on the ground. So I think you should change the slogan on your website to say “The worlds most ripped fitness model … Continue reading »
Last of the Ke$ha flag desecration week……we end it with a wonderful shot from a live performance where shes proudly sporting the American Flag as a cape. The US Flag Code prohibits this, as you are never to wear the American Flag as any form of apparel. I think after this week one thing is … Continue reading »
Round 5 I think? I can’t even keep up. I promise only a few more to go for Ke$ha week, then we’re turning to the Mexican and American Flag week! I don’t even need to put captions under these photos anymore. They’re pretty self evident as far as violations of the American flag code. And … Continue reading »
Round 4 of Ke$ha week! I’m not really sure exactly what is taking place in this photo, other than it’s plainfully obvious that there’s an American flag scrunched up in what looks to be bubbles. Once again anothe rflag Code violation, especially wrinkling up the flag and using it as a bath prop. It’s become … Continue reading »
Round 3 of Ke$ha week! This week I found our all-to-famous flag desecrator Ke$ha laying around on the American flag. Another no-no to add to her ever-growing list of Flag code violations.
It’s officially Ke$ha flag desecration week! In part of the past 2 posts about Ke$ha, you know…the pop star who loves to disrespect the American flag. Round 3 of “how many ways can Ke$ha dishonor the US Flag”. The US Flag code talks about respect for the American flag, and you are NEVER to wear … Continue reading »
If it wasn’t enough for pop-star wanna-be Ke$ha to have desecrated the American flag in her recent music video for Tik Tok, she’d been spotted around the internet once again sporting the American flag wrapped around her grudge appearance. Perhaps her PR agent so do some research into her “American” pop star appearance. How many … Continue reading »
In the recent Ke$ha music video for Tik Tok, there’s a few parts that are just asking to be displayed on here. For starters, check out her patriotic wristband. I’m assuming it’s a bandana so I won’t bust her too hard on that. However at the end of the video there’s an America flag flying … Continue reading »
The cover of the recent Saving Abel album “Miss America” catches your eye with its patriotic flair. You know…an all American pinup girl half naked, the usual. Clearly this Miss America is sporting some bad flag etiquette. She’s got the American flag wrapped around her. It’s pretty obvious that is a real flag to, not … Continue reading »
So it’s World Cup time. If you aren’t aware of this festivity it may be time to turn on the tv or perhaps hit up Google. One thing I’ve always noticed is when sporting events are taking place between countries, flag etiquette is thrown out the window. I can’t say I’m fully against getting stoked … Continue reading »
