Been a lot of bogan flag talk lately, but the streets seem to have been reasonably clear of them. Has the bubble, like that of car red noses also burst? WAtching got a shot of what may be the last bastion of bogan vexilloligy in Clarkson. Michael also got a shot of some rare giant p plate flat boganry. But on the whole the moronic car flag thing seems a little less in evidence this year.

TLA,
Expect the Flagathon to commence in earnest on the weekend – and also the major chains such as Target, Kmart etc are selling everything flag related – including swimwear – now if a non toilet trained tot relieves oneself in them would that be grounds for desecrating the flag ?

Spotted on Facebook, a few weeks ago: ads for ‘Australia Day contact lenses’. Sorta like those ones you can use to make green eyes look blue or whatever, except instead of eye shading, they’ve got a distorted Australian flag where the iris oughta be. Perfect for that ‘Cronulla zombie’ look.

skink, being serious for a moment, (an indeed rare event) I’m always puzzled by the USofAmerican way of having thousands of their flags all over the place: It’s almost as if they are unsure of who or where they are.
I’m sure that there must be some kind of underlying fear or insecurity behind it, but it really sees to me to defy all reason.
