Beyond the fringe


These are extremely popular in France, except they keep catching on fire for some reason.  Thanks to Heather for sending these truly craptacular photos.



Stare at it too long, and you'll start channeling the mysterious kittygods of Altair-4.  (Honestly...just what IS this, anyway??)



A child in military fatigues, ready to go out and face the horrors of war.  How...disturbing.  Do we need to associate children with such ugliness, especially when peoples' sons and daughters are being killed in Iraq daily?  (Yes, I know it's not supposed to be taken literally...but he IS wearing fatigues.  OK, I'll shut up now...)

listen dumb ass the marines have different uniforms now and they are not called fatigues the are a combat uniform! and if you were to acually take a good look at the picture it is a doll not a real child fuckin' retard! if you don't like it then get the fuck out of the country!

Unifornm, fatigues, whatever. And yes, I KNOW it's a doll and not a child...but it's the IMAGE OF A CHILD IN MILITARY UNIFORM that creeps me out. Jesus, it's not that complicated. And your "get the fuck out of the country" remark really made me giggle. Such a classic, typical response. Thanks for the laughs! :)

Disclaimer thingy

  • Before you send me hate mail...
    I don't hate the flag, and I don't hate my country. What I do hate is the way marketing people have turned the flag (and America's patriotism) into a way to sell anything and everything they can. I am also disturbed by the fact that people seem to think that waving a flag makes them better Americans. It doesn't. Patriotism is more a matter of community than a matter of how many and how high we wave our flags. This site is a satire of this kind of exploitation, and I hope you can appreciate the humor. If not, then feel free to visit any number of humorless sites out there.
