That’s why I put illegal in quotation marks. It’s not actually illegal, and few people even know what a flag code is, let alone care about what’s considered disrespectful (except when it comes to protesters burning the flag, then it’s horrible and offensive).
Besides, consumerism trumps everything, so companies will happily slap a flag on anything and everything because American jingoism will eat it up.
It’s not illegal, it’s just ‘against flag code’ which is not and can not be law.
Funny enough, burning the flag is the proper way to dispose of damaged flags, according to flag code. Those damned anarchists and their proper flag disposal
As I said in another comment, that’s why I put illegal in quotation marks. I honestly couldn’t come up with the right term, so I just went for the sarcastic air quotes instead.
As for the flag burning, you and I are on the exact same wavelength there. I commented on that in my other comment, too!
