Charleston Heston: Oh my God. I’m back. I’m home. All the time, it was… We finally really did it.
[screaming] You Maniacs! You burnt them all! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell! All the cheap Chinese Australian flags, the Hills Hoists, oh my god they burnt them all! You maniacs… -Planet of The Apes
A great couple of photos of Australia Day flag mania from Kill Teen Angst Fan Boy. KTAFB claimed it was an acid drenched orgy of car flag stealing and burning. (Not to mention Beaver damming). Apparently the flags exploded and were consumed in an instant like some kind of toxic prawn crackers.
I’ve always found that piss was the best drug for flag stealing and car door kicking-in. I well remember the expensive hand embroidered banner for The Australian Society of accountants that was foolishly left unattended… but that’s another story. Acid is better for flag staring rather than burning – hey, but to each their own. You may also be wondering why I’m censoring the frail’s face but leaving in the cowboy boots and the sideys. Don’t worry, I am too. I am too.
The Worst of Perth 
Admit it: this is a pretty blatant attempt to get in The West or on …. whoever does the 6PR morning show.
That aside, somehow I’m not surprised that the cheap (Chinese? Plastic?) flag goes up faster than Barnett backsdown on a promise.
And there’s a lovely composition to the image: the hills hoist, the dead grass…. the ’70s fashion.
You just know they’re either listening to Wolfmother. Or perhaps Starship on the 96FM telecast.
I hope it wasn’t a total fire ban day.

To me they look extremely fundamentally Irish…I believe someone heard them call out “Gaza burn the fuckers”, Gaza being Gary’s nickname and hence the media’s association of this volatile situation with the Isreali conflict, unknown terrorists groups, garden plots, Hills hoist rocket launchers plus Gaza’s red communist t-shirt is a dead giveaway.
They are professionals indeed, mere mortals would not know that you always always start the flag burning process from the big star position. The result speaks for itself.

I must say, I am starting to very much enjoy reading this blog.
Seeing or hearing about things like this (flag burning) in Australia still surprises me! Having lived in the U.S. for 6 years, I sometimes forget that here you can do whatever the heck you want with the Australian flag.

You can’t ‘do what you want’ to the flag.
Burning a small flag in your backyard and posting about it means fuck all. Do it on the southern foreshore, or at the Cott, or 2am in Northbridge. Or shit in your australia-flag-board-shorts at BDO.
