US flags mounted in dog droppings in German city
BAYREUTH - Baffled authorities in southern Germany have issued an alert concerning unknown persons who have been sticking small US flags into piles of dog droppings in public parks in Bayreuth.

"This has been going on for about a year now, and there must be 2,000 to 3,000 piles of excrement that have been thusly 'adorned' during that time," said Bayreuth parks administrator Josef Oettl.

The sporadic series of incidents originally was thought to be some sort of protest against the US-led invasion of Iraq. And when it continued it was thought to be a protest against President George W. Bush's campaign for re-election.

"We have sent out extra patrols to try to catch whoever is doing this in the act," said police spokesman Reiner Kuechler. "But frankly, we don't know what we would do if we caught them red- white- and-blue handed."

1. ah yes, what would they do?
The question is, what would the US do? Send them to Guantanamo, the new US concentration camp?

8. Now that it's making news, it will start happening everywhere
Wow, this little site is nothing but pics of bush in poop, like this one. (Gosh, what a lonely little POS, heh.)



They'll send you free flags and you can send them pics of where you plant the bush. http://www.madeyouthink.org/flags.htm

What is the "alert" that has been issued? An alert for what? Watch out for someone sticking little flags in...

14. Disgusting
it sickens me to see our closest allies turned so hatefully against us because of Bush's actions. There is no excuse for such crude behaviour on their part though.


then again look what we did to France...
