i've been noticing a ton more american flags in all types of visual media lately..I wonder what's going on? have americans become more patriotic lately or is this some kind of conspiracy/propaganda at work here?

seriously, watch the average american movie, tv show, music video or comic these days. you'll see they are all draped in american flags, even if it is just in the background. I don't think this is a coincidence..

Nope. Never noticed it. I'm too busy. If I'm not working, I'm digging myself out of all the snow.

Unless it's outside a government building, can't recall seeing any flags.

There's a lot of American flags and rightfully so. It's good to be patriotic and proud of your country.

Due to decreased funding for education, American flags are being placed in more places to remind citizens which country they're in.

After the post 9/11 flag explosion, I'll probably never feel like there are more than usual.

Tired of posters posting in pithy patterns, perturbing you at every point?

You're in luck, OT user! With just a low payment of absolutely nothing (and having Firefox and Adblock Plus), you can pretend people don't exist with TD's patented Post Ignore! I can hear you now: "But wait TD, aren't you just telling me to scroll over po-

WELL SHUT YER FLAPPITY YAPPER, SPACE CADET! No, Post Ignore isn't some kind of snake oil warlockery, it's an actual tool that makes user posts disappear into thin air (only from your vision, mind you).

How does this work? First, have Firefox and Adblock Plus (NOTE: if you do not have Firefox and Adblock Plus, get Firefox and Adblock Plus). Second, click on the Adblock Plus icon and select "Filter preferences", then create the following custom filter:

gamespot.com##[class*="'author':'enterusernamehere"] > *

Activate it and POOF, the poster is gone forever from your mind like a bad fever dream!

ORDER NOW!*

At least THE_DRUGGIE is funny and makes people laugh...I wish I was as funny as him. Nobody ever laughs at my jokes. But then again, I'm not funny and nobody likes me so that in itself is a bit of a problem.

Some genius spray painted a swastika on a footpath near my house, the reason I call him a genius is because he spray painted it not on an angle, and the wrong way around.

Personally I haven't noticed anymore than at any other time. Even if there are, there is nothing wrong with some national pride, no matter what country you live in.
