You Can't Make This Stuff Up

Well...you could but no one would believe you.

A Welsh flagmaker is now issuing an urgent saftety warning on it's website to Muslim customers who are ordering Danish flags in order to burn them. According to a British newspaper...

"We have experienced a rise in orders for the Danish colours," owner Robin Ashburner confirmed. But he warned, "It has to be pointed out though that a number of modern flags are now made largely of polyester and when they burn they melt. That means if they are whirled around by a protester, his or her fellow protesters could be splashed by flying pieces of burning material. If it got into the eye it could do serious damage so we are about to issue a warning to this effect on our website."

Sure, flag burning rage and rioting is all fun and games until someone loses an eye...
