If you haven't heard about Breastgate yet, let me go get a crowbar to move that rock you've been under since Saturday night.
Okay, let's see...Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake sing a bad song during the Super Bowl halftime show. Justin sings "I'm gonna get you naked by the end of this song." He then does so. All of a sudden there's a federal investigation, every right-wing talk show is decrying the liberal civilization that would allow such trash on the air, every CBS station could be fined $22,000 for showing it...it's gettin' stupid, folks.
That's what's pissing off America. This is what should be: White Trash "rock star" Kid Rock took an American flag, cut a slit in it and wore it like a poncho during his segment of the Super Bowl halftime show. Then he threw the flag into the crowd. And the only people who are bitching about it are the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the left wing.
Do the words "flag desecration" mean anything to these idiots? Read the Flag Code--it clearly states that the flag shall not be used as part of a garment. One hundred percent of it is "part," right? The American Right is supposed to love the flag. One of their musicians, Charlie Daniels, wrote a song called "It's Not a Rag, It's a Flag"--apparently no one told Kid Rock this because he treated the flag like a rag.
Debate centers on when they decided to do the bra-ripping stunt; Kid Rock undoubtedly went to rehearsal with his little disrespectful poncho. Why didn't someone tell him "go get one of those red, white and blue leather jackets"? Or to bring an undamaged flag on a pole and wave it around while singing his rotten song?
After two years of its continual bombardment, I have become thoroughly disgusted with people like Kid Rock who display their patriotism by going to Wal-Mart, spending $9.95 on a Chinese-made flag, sticking it on their car, driving around with it until it frays completely off, then doing absolutely nothing else. If you won't vote, give blood, write a letter to the editor or serve your country, take the damn flag down.
