Since American foreign policy *sucks*, how about this for a spot of creative dissent:Every time you see a dog-poo on the pavement, stick a little American flag in it to protest against the ongoing war. Full-colour printable U.S. flags bearing the slogan "AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY" can be downloaded here.
Simply:
* Cut them out
* Glue them around cocktail sticks (Pritt-Stick or similar works fine)
* Stick them in the poos of your choice (see example photograph
- sorry, slightly blurry due to laughter)
Hey presto! It's quick, it's eye-catching, and it sends a clear message.
If you do not have access to a colour printer, email your full postal address to
poo-flags@end-war.com, and pre-printed flags will be sent to you. Anyone who emails photos of 5 successfully-flagged poos to
poo-flags@end-war.com will receive a free "WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION" t-shirt. When submitting photos, please state the street name and town where your poo was flagged, to assist in monitoring distribution.
Until then, get poo-flagging, and please email the URL for this website to your friends, or send them this flyer (word document) - press coverage is within reach!
And remember....
it's not disgusting, it's revolting!
