Here's a great photo essay with some awesome examples of patriotic peepeecaca being snapped up by consumers with money to (literally) burn. It's very much in the spirit of this site so I wanted to share it!

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 scumbags have turned the American flag (and our patriotism) into a giant money-making machine. The people who buy this crap are just as much to blame, filling their houses with cheaply-made "patriotic" junk.
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 blog 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.

4th of July Specials!
Show those big fat rich white golf buddies of yours the true power of pride as you bat that little tiny ball around acres and acres beautiful land wasted on the elitist and boring sport known as golf. This Uncle Sam headcover will leave them in awe, barely able to wipe the drool off their puffy, pale jowls.
Awwww, now this is cute: a red-white-blue teddy bear with the good o'l USA stitched on it. And look--the USA has a halo! That means we're, like, holy and stuff, right? Kewl! God is on our side so those other countries can just suck it. Yeeee-hawww!
It's common knowledge that failing to beat a sense of patriotism into one's children can lead to disastrous results: terrorism, cannibalism, and (worst of all) non-Republican voting. So get your little brat a bedroom setup like this, before they start growing beards and playing bongos for money on street corners!
Say, how many times have you yearned to leave your mark on those juicy, sizzlin' steaks you're grillin' up at today's 4th of July BBQ? Well, now's your chance! Make sure everyone knows your meat is 100% good ol' #1 American with these handy branders! Burn it with logos for USA, the Navy, or the Marines. Works great on the kids, too!
