THE HORROR YOU'VE WITNESSED

Giant Flag Eats Brave Immigration Protesters

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.”

    Obligatory “POST TITS” post.

  9. hockeymom says at 2:15 pm, January 21st, 2009

    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.

  10. The gold standard is NSFW. Really NSFW.

  11. 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.

  13. MARCdMan says at 2:19 pm, January 21st, 2009

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

  14. Doglessliberal says at 2:20 pm, January 21st, 2009

    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.

  15. Instead of their eating America, America ate them!

  16. freakishlystrong says at 2:22 pm, January 21st, 2009

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

  17. actor212 says at 2:24 pm, January 21st, 2009

    Flag HUNGRY!

  18. President Beeblebrox says at 2:25 pm, January 21st, 2009

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

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

  20. IceCreamEmpress says at 2:27 pm, January 21st, 2009

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

  21. Sing with me!

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

  22. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:52 pm, January 21st, 2009

    DOES NOBODY CARE ABOUT THE PAULISTINIAN CRISIS?

  23. Mr Blifil says at 2:53 pm, January 21st, 2009

    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!

  24. chascates says at 2:57 pm, January 21st, 2009

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

  25. Mr Blifil says at 3:01 pm, January 21st, 2009

    actor212: I always heard DC was full of big flags, but now I believe…

  26. At least hippies have lots of fiber.

  27. actor212 says at 3:24 pm, January 21st, 2009

    Mr Blifil: I think you got an extra “l” in there, Mr B…

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

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

    Jesus f*cking Christ.

  30. cracksammich says at 4:23 pm, January 21st, 2009

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

  31. hobospacejungle says at 5:19 pm, January 21st, 2009

    choinski: 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!

  32. Ken Layne says at 5:39 pm, January 21st, 2009

    jagorev: hahaha whoops.

  33. Now I shall hunt for this missing “Gold Standard”.
