Patriotism Or Satire

VP Parade 1

It occurs to me that some of these shots from the Fourth of July Parade, particularly the first one, could go either way. I am an American but I consider myself human first.

Note the iconic Spirit of St. Louis airplane in the second photo. There is something about the postures of Elvis and his friend a couple of pictures down that bothers me.

  1. The guy with the Jesus t-shirt doesn't know what he's wearing. I'm sure the image is supposed to be "that ol' rugged cross." Instead it looks like vampire killing stakes that Buffy used.

  3. The size of the ring on Elvis' finger would make playing a guitar difficult, I would think.

  4. I see a number of things about Elvis and his companion that seem, well, off...

    I wasn't aware Doc the Dwarf marched with the Continental Army back in the day...

  5. Clowns don't scare me. I think Elvis has left the building. That guy in the red T-shirt scares me a bit though.
