Bush Poo Flags! Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking miniature flag portraits of US President George W. Bush into piles of dog poo in public parks.
  • The link is great and the flags are hilarious. -- Josef Oettl, parks administrator for Bayreuth, said: "This has been going on for about a year now, and there must be 2,000 to 3,000 piles of excrement that have been claimed during that time." I wonder if perhaps there have been more than 2,000 to 3,000 discarded cigarettes over that same amount of time and whether the police are actively looking for those perpetrators.
  • This is the real reason behind printer id watermarks.
  • I've seen these before--in my local paper (not the daily, but the one Mrs. MCT works for...you know, the GOOD one)--but they are just about perfect.
  • "I claim this poo in the name of Bush..!" Jeez, do I miss Kids in the Hall.
  • I'm glad to hear there is so little crime in Germany that the police can look into dog poo.
  • This may be the best post title ever.
  • >Legal experts say there is no law against using feces as a flag stand That's a great line. What do the legal experts say about using the Oval Office as a stand for a pile of doo?
  • sticking miniature flag portraits of US President George W. Bush into piles of dog poo in public parks. Now that is a well-reasoned political statement.
  • Germans are funny.
  • "But frankly, we don't know what we would do if we caught them red handed." If I were them I'd just have a good laugh and send them on their merry way.
  • The definitive political comment of the century? An artistic work of genius? Someone should put one in the Tate! (petrified of course. heh)
  • But they don't mind the poo? Maybe they aren't making a political statement. Maybe they're just saying, "clean up your damn poo!"
  • What do the legal experts say about using the Oval Office as a stand for a pile of doo? Stan the Bat, I keess you! I'd be proud to plant that flag.
  • This isn't doing much to dispel the image of Germans as being obsessed with scatology.
  • But they don't mind the poo? I look at it this way: Compared to whom?
  • This may be the best post title ever. MCT with the behind-the-head slam dunk! What a competitor!
  • I remember reading something about a group of artists in France that would paint plates of food around the poop they found on the streets of Paris. And I thought THAT was making a great statement.
  • ))) to ye, art vandal!!!!
  • Well I think it's disgusting that President Bush is now invading the Coprolites. Surely by claiming both Iraq AND Afghanistan he's getting more than enough shit already.
  • *rimshot*
  • Would that be Hundescheissebushflagge or Bushhundescheisseflagge?
  • Man is the animal that cares about poo.
  • What do the legal experts say about using the Oval Office as a stand for a pile of doo? Well done, sir.
  • Republican congressional leadership congratulates the president on making good poopy
