More Blasphemy (and a touch of mockery)

Jesus of the Week website: Anyone who doesn't think this site is hysterically funny must learn the following:

Jelly Bean Prayer

RED is for the blood He gave,
GREEN is for the grass He made,
YELLOW is for the sun so bright,
ORANGE is for the edge of night,
BLACK is for the sins we made,
WHITE is for the grace He gave,
PURPLE is for the hour of sorrow,
PINK is for the new tomorrow,

A bag of Jelly Beans, colorful and sweet,
Is a prayer....Is a promise...Made to you and me.

Hey! You got Treason all over my Blasphemy!

The Flag Code, which outlines the handling and display of the American flag, reads more like a blue law. It has been challenged twice as unconstitutional, and still continues to take a crass beating on a daily basis. You can read the entire text of the Flag Code here. And now, behold, some gift items found on the internet that violate the Flag Code and Good Taste.

The Flag Code says nothing about smothering an eagle in United States flags. Maybe they just didn't think of it.

We don't quite understand the function of this other one, but it's a cover for a disposable lighter.

Smack the flag around a nice grassy field, and then wipe your hands on another flag.

You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around any more. Instead, you have these...

More in the Lobbing, Kicking, Smashing and Throwing the American Flag genre.

I'm fairly sure there's a metaphor hiding in this stuff somewhere...

To appropriately dispose of the wrapper, please refer to the Flag Code and use your Patriotic disposable lighter.

We throw this one in to show that at the winter Olympics they violated the Flag Code, Section 8(c). Surely someone has read the Flag Code besides a few boyscouts and Get Lost Magazine staffers?
