activists burning the Australian flag Do flag dealers have comprehensive retail outlets in your flag-burning type of countries, or are the locals hand-stitching them from household fabric remnants, a la Betsy Ross? And who has the time?
I could probably pick the Australian flag out of a small multiple-choice selection, assuming it has some British elements, but I couldn't just run one up on the Singer machine in time to protest Outrage X from Australia before Outrage Y from Finland occurs.

heh! Though of course the difference can be if we Christians make fun of ourselves as opposed to say a Moslem or Hindu doing that, which is probably what’s ticking these guys off

I find that all men who may tend to be racist or religiously fanatic are quite... amicable... to sexy females of other race or religion.
It is just a thing.

I’m thinking Laz would hit that like the Destroyer of Worlds.

Ahhh, shoot! There goes my idea for men’s swim trunks with the god Ganesh printed on them.

Could this “outrage” come from years being under the rule of Muslims?
At one time, before the British took over, the Indians were under Muslim rule and a lot of the Muslim practices must have been “copied”.

Yeah, but what beautiful young woman would want to “hit” Laz is the real question.

Considering the decor of Hindu temples, I can’t see the problem with this portrayal of female deity. Maybe they just don’t approve of women’s going swimming, and would have the same flipout over any bathing suit.

Meanwhile, if some designer were to put a pic of Jesus or the Virgin Mary on a swimsuit, Christians would be expected to take it in stride.
