I like the "store," tesco, and the links off of it are great too!

Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
 

That's a rather offensive site. It implies that the only patriotic Americans are slack-jawed yokels... nothing humorous at all...

I would disagree Fyron. The web admin even places a disclaimer on what his intention is with that web site. I know it is heavy on the Satire.

Oh, a disclaimer. That sure makes everything better. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

I personally disagree with the implication of the site, but i felt that it was so over-the-top that it was clearly satirical. I think that there have definitely been several instances of over-enthusiastic patriotism ("freedom fries," anyone?) of late.

Here's a site making fun of the other side of things:

(check out the MSS through history section . . . two in particular are quite good.)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well of course it is an attempt at satire. But, it is still not humorous in the slightest.

I wasn't going to check Tesco's link to total obscurity, but when Fyron started complaining, I thought that link must be good..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I found it quite funny. I don't see it as necessarily making fun of those who display patriotism so much as the industry trying to sell anything and everything in a way to make a buck off of it.

Just goes to show that funny, like so many other things, is in the eye of the beholder. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
