I ... What?

They say it's from a (the?) Days of Our Lives calendar. Why? Why would they ... Just. No. But if it had been real? Probably also, stop and no.



edited: because.

And it IS abuse too.

No, literally! Check out Flag Code item 176 (d)! And, I suppose, (j).

Not that people don't break that all the time, including in the Olympics and sporting events and, arguably, at every car dealership in the nation. This is just a particularly !!! example. Hee.

Ahahahahaha.

I actually thought that I maybe was correct in thinking that it was illegal. I'm glad I was correct.

The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing.

... a living thing? That seems a tad over zealous.

Heh, yeah, I think the whole flag code is a bit over-zealous. I was raised with it by a patriotic mother and I learned how to fold the flag properly and not let it touch the ground and such, and I think it's nice to show respect, but to *burn* a perfectly good flag if it accidentally touches the ground? (Ceremonial burning is the only proper way to dispose of a flag.) Just seems wasteful! As far as I know the U.S. is the only country with a code like that.

Fortunately the flag code isn't actually legally binding, it's more of a stern suggestion, especially for ceremonial purposes. :) And most people (Stephen Colbert included!) don't follow it all.

I think the Jensen manip is hilarious. *g*
