I was looking at the ads at the top, and a clip caught my attention: there was a very beautiful blonde tied down on a table and enduring tickle torture at the hands of another beautiful blonde... while wearing a bikini with an American flag pattern printed on it.
My first thought was that it was cute. But then a question occurred to me: is that legal in America? I am damn sure that here in China you could get arrested for it, or at least fined, for improper use of a national symbol. Granted, maybe the law is more lax in the US (first amendment and all), but you do have laws which protect the national symbols, don't you?
Also, at the very least, wouldn't a producer using the flag or other symbolic Americana in what is essentially porn expose him/herself to the risk of facing boycott from the more nationalist oriented among his/her customer base? Or am I overthinking this?
If some of you, especially the Americans, could help me clear that up, I'd really appreciate!
