U.S. Flag Recalled After Causing 143 Million Deaths
WASHINGTON—Citing a series of fatal malfunctions dating back to 1777, flag manufacturer Annin & Company announced Monday that it would be recalling all makes and models of its popular American flag from both foreign and domestic markets.
Gonna print out a bunch of copies of this and get hit with 20 years of charges for flyering mailboxes of houses in my area flying these things
"At first, we wanted one of our flags in every home in America," Burman said. "Unfortunately, the practical applications of this product are far outnumbered by the risks it presents. Millions have died needlessly, and when you ask people why, they point to the flag."
Added Burman, "Frankly, we should have pulled it off the market decades ago."
Customers are advised to dispose of the flag in a sufficiently final manner to ensure it is not accidentally reused
The "cheap, second-rate competing flag" comment on the timeline was 😚🤌
Pretty sure it's been more than 140, sweaty
