If this isn't flag abuse, I don't know what is. People make a big deal about how we should respect the flag and treat it a certain way, but what about wrapping it around some muscle-guy's junk? Not that I have anything against a guy's junk, mind you, but if we're supposed to treat the flag with respect then why aren't people shrieking mad about this? Or bikini babes dressed in flag thongs & tops? The least they could do is pick an attractive man to model their goods rather than this lumpy, patchy-haired mongoloid.
Answer: sexy flaggy titillation is perfectly OK because it makes money. Making money is good and it's all that really matters. But don't you let that flag touch the ground! And don't let it get wet! And you gotta fold it a certain way! And you can't damage it! Got all that? 'It's 'cause we respect the flag, durn it!
this reminds me of an Onion article from long ago that reads, "American Flag to Feature More Beefcake". The picture accompanying the article had an american flag with a guy in a banana hammock, much like this one. Gotta love The Onion

Amen! I've been thinking this for years. I'd love to see someone actually seriously reply to your questions here, because I soooo don't get it.

That guy is a hunk...maybe instead of worrying about his flag thong, we should worry about supporting the U.S. of A. buying GM, Ford & Chrysler Cars.
