They've been selling American flags all over the place in Chinatown here
in NYC; along with the "I can't believe I got out alive," "I survived
the WTC attack" and "Attack on America" teeshirts....

I'm dead serious, folks.

Oh and did I mention the dudes selling postcards and picture prints of the
WTC? They're the same ones that were selling the 5$ bootleg CDs and the
"Rolodex" (fake Rolex) wrist-watches out of the suitcases last week....

Now what I thought was really classy was a local copy/print shop here in
the neighborhood printed out hundreds of full-size two-sided color copies
of the flag on legal-sized paper and had a guy handing them
out yesterday.  

No advertising, no phone numbers.  Just plain Old Glory.

Now THAT was classy.
