Amusingly, this site has been posted on hoax.com by someone who can't quite decide if the items posted here are real or not. User "Evillyspinning" is obviously torn:
Why I think this website might be real
Now that the site has gotten itself a new URL, Flag-o-Rama has turned more into a blog than a flag store. At least, that's how I see it. Though featured gift items (supposedly for patriots) here are on the humorous, satirical side, I don't consider this site as a hoax. For one, the gift items could actually be manufactured. Good examples are teddy bears using white, blue, red colors and a printed U.S. flag with halo. Another good gift item is the "Uncle Sam" headcover. I've seen a lot of similar designs, one that features U.S, flag colors and logos. These gift items may very well be identified as novelty items, and I don't see anything wrong with that.Why I think this website might be fake
This is site is obviously not intended for patriots. In fact, some descriptions can be offensive. Whether the gift items are real or not, they serve as parodies of good ol' American way of life and other U.S. events. I also don't believe that such items do exist, and I doubt if real patriots would consider buying one. Judging by the site's content, there's no doubt that it is simply made to poke fun and elicit a few laughs from the not so conservative Americans. All the items here are satirical in nature.

This is interesting because it never occurred to me that people might think the items posted here are fake items, like the ridiculous stuff in the "shop" (which is all this site was in the beginning). But let me assure you: as much as I wish it weren't true, all items posted here are 100% real. The tacky tableware, the ugly shirts and jackets, the tasteless dresses and party favors and cheese plates, all of it is actually for sale and be purchased with your hard-earned money. You can't buy this stuff here, of course, but with a little Googling you can find it.
