    Amazing how many of these shots are in violation of the US flag code:

    Here is an excerpt:

    C4K you bring up a good point, either those
    who have written the code do not enforce it or
    choose not to enforce it ,or there is less dogma
    and grace abounds because of the obvious pride
    and joy people seem to associate with it.Which
    is evident in the pictures...I sincerely believe
    those who do wear it as apparel or paint there
    face or wrap themselves in it are not showing
    disrespect but instead joy! and the pursuit of
    happiness it stands for...I think the majority
    of the pictures are self evident that it causes
    joy and pride, but your point is a good one..I have yet to see an official or a police officer
    chastise or give a ticket to anyone who has sewn
    a flag into a leather jacket or admonish an Olympian for wrapping him or herself in a flag
    after victory ..then celebration.

    Personally it does not offend me(the pics)the faces of the people tell the true story.. but I am only one voice. imho

    I, on the other hand do fing violation of the flag code offensive. It is not law, just a standard of respect handed down. I do not think that our national symbol should be drapped on the shoulders of sweaty athletes or used as a tablecloth as in on of the photos.

    To each their own I suppose, but I have always been a supporter of the flag code as written.

    I respect that C4K..for you to get your message
    across it means mass education first with the
    hope of compliance. The law really is on your
    side on this but it has elevated to a wink and
    a nod or a weak slap on the wrist. People of
    creative will, want to express their joy in
    their patriotism and usually that involves incorporating the flag...yeah commercial and some are contrived to get you to buy a product. So the saturation factor seems over done and out of control.

    For it to be elevated to your way of thinking
    the code needs teeth(money) and education but
    so many special interests who now manufacture
    our flag and its image (China) would make that
    one phone call to a white house offical and ask
    the hounds of enforcement be taken off.

    Personally it does not bother me either that or
    I have gotten used to it since it is such a
    festive occasion where people are happy and the
    subject is not breached.

    good point C4k

    C4K, those are good points. I hate to see the flag as a bandana, for example.

    During the SuperBowl in Houston, I was more offended by the way Kid Rock was using the flag as a poncho, than I was by Janet Jackson's bit of publicity seeking behavior.

    Is this a recent change? I have beeb gone from the US for ten years, but it does not seem like this type of action was as prevelant then as it is now.

    Hate to be a stick in the mud ;) .

    I think it has changed or has escalated. Perhaps
    we have been lulled into it incrementally and now
    we have the bandannas, the napkins all saying made
    in china.

    It would take a populists movement to get the code
    enforced or reformed. imho

    It would be a worthy cause and then out of it
    some protections and respect...with a pinch of
    grace.
