OH NOES GIANT FLAG KILLED YOUHere’s the troubling photographic evidence of whatever’s happening, at this building, the Anti-Immigration Headquarters and/or Dept. of Education at 12th & D SW. It appears the angry Latinos have been eaten by a monstrous American Flag. Our operative “Danielle W.” says a few protesters escaped, blocked some traffic because why not, and are now headed for “the waterfront.” CLICK “MORE” FOR AN EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT.

This is as good a time as any to introduce our new User Generated Feature, very loosely stolen from based on Vomity Andy Sullivan’s beloved “Pictures of Frozen Trees Outside My Sad House” blog posts. Add tips@wonkette.com to your cell-phone contact list, and send us your pictures of weird/funny/horrible/exciting stuff in D.C. — this is the Gold Standard (UPDATE: OH YEAH THIS IS NOT SO SAFE FOR WORK, and the stuff you send us should probably be safe for the office) — and we’ll post them here, once each day, and even link to your blog or whatever. SUBJECT LINE MUST SAY “THE HORROR I’VE WITNESSED.”

D.C.? Don’t you want to see pictures of the shopping cart people outside my apartment in Los Angeles?

President Beeblebrox January 21, 2009 at 2:09 pm

Teh flags are rebelling because the Muslin terrist no-pledging no-pin wearing Hopey is now Preznit of American Flags!

That’s the secret Bush-administration’s doomsday weapon!
It’s a giant, flag-shaped Shoggoth!

God hates flags

Czn939 January 21, 2009 at 2:15 pm

Or it’s a giant, flag-colored squid…
Look, you can see a huge eye above that tan SUV,
and those red and white strips?
TENTACLES!

Obligatory “POST TITS” post.

I clicked on the Gold Standard and I believe I am traumatized for life.
That’s not the kind of racial transcendence Hopey is promising.

The gold standard is NSFW. Really NSFW.

Terry January 21, 2009 at 2:19 pm

They are heading to the waterfront to hang out with Marion Barry in the bar at Zanzibar.

i thought the headline read “giant fag eats brave immigration protesters” and was like, “i thought poor old sully couldn’t move!!”. being a fag i can say fag all i want. fag. also.

The gold standard is not safe for keyboards when combined with a beverage.

Doglessliberal January 21, 2009 at 2:20 pm

I will remain ever-vigilant for appropriately-Wonkettey pics. It will be hard to top the metaphorical perfection that is the Flag-Eaten Throng picture, however.

Aurelio January 21, 2009 at 2:20 pm

Instead of their eating America, America ate them!

freakishlystrong January 21, 2009 at 2:22 pm

The Gold Standard? Jesus, how did he/she just sit there and take pictures of that? WTF?

actor212 January 21, 2009 at 2:24 pm

Flag HUNGRY!

President Beeblebrox January 21, 2009 at 2:25 pm

PS: Has anyone asked Sully what his feelings are over the cancellation of the Obama Inauguration Pig Sex Orgy that teh fundies discovered?

saradc January 21, 2009 at 2:26 pm

The first time I saw that photo in the Gold Standard, I avoided that block for weeks. Actually, truth be told, I still do.

IceCreamEmpress January 21, 2009 at 2:27 pm

I’m calling dibs on the “Munchy the Flag” cartoon character and associated merch!

Min January 21, 2009 at 2:37 pm

Sing with me!

She’s a grand ol’ flag,
She’s a low-flyin’ flag.
And forever on peeps may she graze.

shortsshortsshorts January 21, 2009 at 2:52 pm

DOES NOBODY CARE ABOUT THE PAULISTINIAN CRISIS?

Mr Blifil January 21, 2009 at 2:53 pm

What’s so NSFW about crack whores? I didn’t see any penetration. If your boss has a problem with it, it’s because he/she either patronizes crack whores or was/is a crack whore themselves. More crack whores Wonkette!

chascates January 21, 2009 at 2:57 pm

Find out where this flag was made. Quality American-made or slave labor Asian?

Mr Blifil January 21, 2009 at 3:01 pm

[re=224738]actor212[/re]: I always heard DC was full of big flags, but now I believe…

TGY January 21, 2009 at 3:22 pm

At least hippies have lots of fiber.

actor212 January 21, 2009 at 3:24 pm

[re=224783]Mr Blifil[/re]: I think you got an extra “l” in there, Mr B…

WadISay January 21, 2009 at 3:48 pm

So Wonkette only wants pictures of buttsecs involving DC johns and crack-hos?

jagorev January 21, 2009 at 4:03 pm

this is the Gold Standard (UPDATE: OH YEAH THIS IS NOT SO SAFE FOR WORK

Jesus f*cking Christ.

cracksammich January 21, 2009 at 4:23 pm

Maybe that was my esteemed Senator, David Vitter. He likes crack and diapers.

hobospacejungle January 21, 2009 at 5:19 pm

[re=224716]choinski[/re]: Win.

Not only do I not live in DC my Nokia E61 doesn’t have a camera! Wonkette practices both locationism and phoneism. For shame. For shame!

Ken Layne January 21, 2009 at 5:39 pm

[re=224875]jagorev[/re]: hahaha whoops.

bago January 21, 2009 at 6:31 pm
