No worries, you have plenty of your own lunacy to put up with.

Well... maybe not you. But I'm sure Escher can name a few lunatic things he has to put up with Smile

That's what you think. This crackdown was actually planned at the Bilderberg conference by the shadow government and soon they will be activating National Guard units to do the same here. I know this because I read the blog of a guy whose best friend's brother knows a dude who has a parakeet that was inside the building at the time and recited the entire conference afterwards.

In keeping with American values, everyone is then forced to wear nothing but swimgear depicting the American flag?

I'm not going to mess with that but it does actually spark a question I have. I've heard in the past that it's technically illegal to use the US flag as a clothing pattern ie, Flag-print speedo, although few people enforce said law. I don't know if it's true or not so I was wondering if anyone here knows the truth.

I dunno about "illegal", but I guess it can be disrespectful.

Significantly, the Flag Code prohibits using the flag "for any advertising purpose" and also states that the flag "should not be embroidered, printed, or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use".[24] Both of these codes are generally ignored, almost always without comment.

One of the most commonly ignored and misunderstood aspects of the Flag Code is section 8. "The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery." Section 3 of the Flag Code [25] defines a flag for the purposes of the code. It clarifies the definition to include any picture or representation of the flag purporting to be of the flag of the United States of America. Therefore T-shirts, or other apparel made of or containing a representation of the flag are in violation of the code.


Although the Flag Code is U.S. Federal law, it is only binding on government institutions displaying the flag: there is no penalty for a private citizen or group failing to comply with the Flag Code and it is not widely enforced—indeed, punitive enforcement would conflict with the First Amendment right to freedom of speech.[26] Passage of the proposed Flag Desecration Amendment would overrule legal precedent that has been established.

But only so long as there are no "wardrobe malfunctions" with the swimgear. Remember, gratuitous violence = good, sex = bad.

Oh yeah. Swimsuits and scantily clad models are everywhere, but showing a nipple is 18+

Is disappointement enough for you to shoot us legally in Georgia?


You're thinking of Texas, where shooting your TV to change the channel is acceptable.
