There's something a bit queer about these new U.S. Army recruitment ads...

For those of you who live in the US (i.e. the ones who matter), you are probably familiar with the recent craze of slapping yellow "support our troops" ribbons on cars and other places. It's nice, but it seems a bit somber. Where's the fun, the joy, the triumph of being an American soldier? They travel the world, bringing freedom and democracy to wherever they go. I can do better, and I did:

Proposed anti-flag burning amendment:
"The Congress shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States."
One of the American Flag Day tradition is almost upon us: The annual attempt to pass a Constitutional amendment against flag burning. As usual, the proposed amendment will sail through the demagogic House, while coming to a real fight in the Senate. In the past, the amendment has always died there. This time, though, the Republicans have an expanded majority, which gives the censorious amendment its best chance ever. Still, I very much doubt it will pass. That 2/3rd majority requirement to properly lubricate the passage of a potential amendment is tough to achieve, and we'll likely find the proposal stuck within the constipated confines of fascist fantasy for another year.
It is, of course, ridiculous to rally around this alleged symbol of freedom right now when the actual freedom it represents is being trampled on. We have secret trials, secret imprisonment, not-so-secret torture and all manners of undemocratic activities perpetrated by the douche-swilling administration. If any amendment needs passing, it would be one to ensure more freedom and protection for those under US jurisdiction. But hell, I'd settle for the existing amendments being given the proper respect.
And now, on a lighter note—a fun way to subvert anti-flag desecration laws if they ever pass:
Take a  , cut it into strips of red, white and blue, then sew it back into a  . Use a camera to document the process. Then, burn it in front of your nearest city hall. Should you get in any trouble, calmly inform the authorities that you simply desecrated a symbol of France, something that any true American would get behind. |

At about 51 dollars a pop, I can't recommend that anybody actually buy this shirt. I do, however, hope that all who gazes upon it draws inspiration and possibly erotic joy from it. The "2SickBastards" title under the picture is actually the name of the company that produces the shirt, although it fits better here than on any of their other shirts (all modeled with celebrity mug shots). One sick bastard down, one more to go. |

This lovely picture is brought to you by Mirko Ilić, who designed it as the cover for a Massachusetts guide to gay marriage. It's a bold, confrontational statement that shows America embracing Justice by rejecting the land's Puritan baggage. The drawing belongs on many more places than just pamphlet covers. |
