From the UK Indymedia site:
Poo-Flags Campaign
Since American foreign policy sucks, how about this for a spot of creative dissent:
Every time you see a dog-poo on the pavement, stick a little American flag in it to protest against the looming war. Get in touch for full-colour printable U.S. flags bearing the slogan "AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY".
Simply:
Email your full postal address to poo-flags@end-war.com, and pre-printed flags will be sent to you, or ask us for an A4 jpeg you can print out yourself ...
Anyone who emails photos of 5 successfully-flagged poos to poo-flags@end-war.com will receive a free "WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION" t-shirt. When submitting photos, please state the street name and town where your poo was flagged, to assist in monitoring distribution.
A poo-flags website is currently under development. This is planned to feature flag downloads, a gallery of submitted photos, and a map of flag distribution. Until then, get poo-flagging, and please distribute this article to your friends -- press coverage is within reach!
And remember - it's not disgusting, it's revolting.
Posted by Darren Wershler-Henry at February 19, 2003 01:38 PMThis joking response to American foreign policy only lends credence to the supposition that the governmental tools of counterintelligence and acts of disinformation serve to immobilize the inertial reaction to wrongheaded martial acts of empire. I cannot equate one’s lungs being removed through the mouth and nostrils by the instantaneous combustion of oxygen produced by scatter bombs with flags in dog shit. I’m reminded of the ratio of the desert storm American dead, of hostile versus friendly fire.

Posted by: Poo Flag on March 4, 2003 12:13 PMBeing able to understand that basic idea opens up a vast amount of power that can be used and abused, and we're going to look at a few of the better ways to deal with it in this article.
Posted by: Ciriacus on January 18, 2004 11:28 PMThat gives us a pretty good starting point to understand a lot more about variables, and that's what we'll be examining next lesson. Those new variable types I promised last lesson will finally make an appearance, and we'll examine a few concepts that we'll use to organize our data into more meaningful structures, a sort of precursor to the objects that Cocoa works with. And we'll delve a little bit more into the fun things we can do by looking at those ever-present bits in a few new ways.
Posted by: Geoffrey on January 18, 2004 11:29 PMLet's take a moment to reexamine that. What we've done here is create two variables. The first variable is in the Heap, and we're storing data in it. That's the obvious one. But the second variable is a pointer to the first one, and it exists on the Stack. This variable is the one that's really called favoriteNumber, and it's the one we're working with. It is important to remember that there are now two parts to our simple variable, one of which exists in each world. This kind of division is common is C, but omnipresent in Cocoa. When you start making objects, Cocoa makes them all in the Heap because the Stack isn't big enough to hold them. In Cocoa, you deal with objects through pointers everywhere and are actually forbidden from dealing with them directly.
