I saw an odd thing while watching the Super Bowl

[Bok_Tukalo]

At the crescendo of the National Anthem, there was a quick shot of the stadium from an upper vantage point. In the foreground of that shot were about 10 people holding the American flag upside down. It didn't last long and I didn't tape it.

2. I saw it too (nt)

[Journeyman]

3. I saw it, too, Bob. . .

quite amusing. I suppose now CBS will put a green-screen on the stadium crowd, to keep them all from fomenting activist ideas.

9. The only reason I noticed it

was because at the time, I was paying close attention watching the helicopters thinking it was the first time I had ever felt uncomfortable with military hardware being on display at a major sporting event.

4. Ditto

I'm sure the photos are being sent to John Ashcroft now...

6. They'll never fly again.

5. Oh my.

Wow. If you can't trust people with Super Bowl tickets, who can you trust.

Think they got kicked out?

[Terwilliger]

7. Really and seriously??

WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!

Gotta love the activists!!!!!!!

[wuushew]

8. How do we know it was intentional?

In a drunken rush they may have accidentially unfurled the flag in the distress mode instead of normal mode.

10. That will be their story

and I'd stick to it if I were them
:D

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

16. Exactly. They looked like cardboard signs, maybe the flag

is printed on both sides, but flopped.

[Kamika]

20. no

You could see the flag on the other side and it was upside down

[patricia92243]

11. Makes Dems look unpatriotic - I don't approve!!

[Lars39]

15. Why assume they were Dems? Coulda been some PO'd repubs.

Or military family.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

18. LOL @ you automatically assuming it was "Dems".

Are Dems the only ones who would do such a thing?
It says a lot about what you think about your party!

[MercutioATC]

22. I disagree. I always get flag stamps and stick them on upside-down.

It's a political statement, not an affront to the flag.

12. Are you talking about bush* playing the part of chimp in a commercial?

If not what was it?

[BigDaddyLove]

23. I noticed that there were two commercials featuring chimps.....

this year.

Subversive advertising execs?

[baldguy]
