Home Depot's flawed flags

They were right there, next to the garden center's
cashier: small (2x3 ft.) flags - probably for use
on July fourth.
However, something was inexplicably WRONG with
them; something that wasn't immediately apparent.

Lessee . . . there were six rows of six stars,
with four rows of five stars separating them.
Just one star shy of Obama's fifty-seven states.

MESSAGE FOR HOME DEPOT: Take your 56-star 'patriotic'
flags off the sales floor IMMEDIATELY, and send
them back to whatever third-world sewer made them.
Don't mark them down to the 27 cents you paid for
them; get a refund. We don't need foreign communist
parodies of America; we get enough of that from the
White House.

Did you notify the manager or try to contact Home Depot headquarters
to have the flags pulled?

Nope. That is a pure waste of everyone's time
- and at least vaguely restrictive of liberty.
(A shopkeeper does have the right to determine
what he will sell.)

It is much better to simply inform potential
customers of the slimy deception - and let the
free marketplace determine HD's losses on such
items.

You assumed someone at HD knew. That may not be a correct assumption.
