dailyshow_tourists_hate_america_050620-02a.jpg -- is a flag sparkler disrespectful to the flag?

Under what conditions would existing flag underwear be considered desecrated? If that passes, we must demand that they grandfather in all flag underwear.

Imagine how much money pastors and preachers of all religions will be able to make blessing flag burning. What a stupid waste of time it would be to prohibit it.

UPDATE: direct link to flag skit thanks to NeMon'ess

Caleeforneeah Hates Arnold -- the turning point was the "girly men" comment. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
