Is it accepetable to use the us flag for advertising purposes?
This is a subject that is debated quite often and from researching both sides of the debate it seems that a case for both sides can be made. It comes down to individual interpretation of the flag code.
The flag code states:
The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
I believe the sentence "The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever." is pretty straight forward. But of course this is the USA, and people have a wide variety of opinions on this issue according to their personal interpretation of the code. One counter point is if a business owner displays US flags at his business with advertising, are we to question his motives? For example, is the business owner displaying the flags to show his patriotism, or increase sales and traffic? As I mentioned the code can be interpreted many ways.
