What the fuck? People gave these assholes half a million dollars to throw a frat party?

Also:

Fuck the flag. It's a piece of cloth.

Yeah for real.

“Oh no, not the flag! Not that whole thing where it’s protected speech to burn the shit out of the flag if I want to!”

Kinda wonder about the whole "don't touch the flag" bullshit when I see women wearing flag bikinis, men wearing flag swimming trunks, and both garments are touching assholes.

You can get flag napkins. You can get flag diapers.

It's fucking moronic. Flags exist mainly so that armies could rally and ships could recognize each other at sea back before we had this handy thing called radio. Now it's just for bullshit fake patriotism.

I think diapers are the only acceptable use for certain flags. Thin blue line flags, confederate battle flag, and plain white (the final confederate flag) in particular.

It all spits in the face of the U.S. flag code.
