My Uncle Barry, who is my hero, is a paraplegic as a result of his service in Vietnam. He often remarks that the American flag should be given the honor it deserves; & not used as a tablecloth, clothing, & certainly not a bib.
So true! I’m with you Janeinnh…. where’s the respect?? *eye roll*
According to the rules and regulations of the American flag; it should never be worn as apparel.
This is not going to make me popular, but he fact of the matter is that the American flag is nothing more than a symbolic representation of our country. I love the USA with all my heart and certainly more than most others, but I don’t believe in treating the flag as a sacred figure that can not be touched or blemished. Again, I know it’s not the popular opinion – but I feel like making the flag out to be more than it is is feeding the propaganda machine.
I should be clear about this though – Mr. Aarti is a disgusting D-Bag with a massively over-inflated ego who should never ever be seen on TV or any other form of public media. I just don’t have any issue with the flag bandana, that’s all.
How can you say … “I love the USA. *BUT* I will tolerate seeing the symbolic embodiment of it desecrated” by assbags like Aarti’s husband.
I guess I just don’t see the logic.
Because it’s merely symbolic. I wouldn’t say that I *approve* of the gesture, but I don’t take offense to it because I’m able to rationally understand that he’s not actually desecrating my country at all… and in fact is probably attempting to display his own sense of patriotism in a simply mis-guided way. Just reminds me of Abbie Hoffman being beat up in the movie Steal This Movie (a biography, and one I highly recommend) for wearing an American flag shirt when I in fact think he was an amazing patriot… /shrug. Guess I just get upset with people trying to monopolize patriotism by claiming that only their own brand of it is valid. But that’s more about my frustration with people who have nothing to do with this site or this converstation – I’m honestly not trying to imply anything about your intentions Jillian.
TL;DR – Hippies like America too.
Numb, none of this is opinion, it’s fact. The American flag is a living symbol of this country and as such, it demands respect. I see no issue with these demands.
I understand your point; the fact that it’s just a bunch of colors printed on a piece of material, so what’s the harm in wearing it? But when you are talking about the “American Flag”, the symbolic nature of that design is far more meaningful to just say “what’s the big deal?”.
According to flag etiquette, he IS desecrating the country by wearing it.
How is a striped scarf suddenly the American Flag?
It’s not a striped scarf. There are stars at the back of it. The photo isn’t the best, but if you saw the episode you clearly saw it was an American flag.
Yes you’re right, I kept staring at the 2nd picture so long I finally saw it, I haven’t watershed the episode yet .. he looks like a creepy lumberjack who’s brain is floating in the Twilight Zone or something
Jilllian I miss your podcasts!!! Please say you will be doing them again?
ack i just saw the blue and white stars behind the neck.. never mind, i thought it was a scarf.. weird
This Motherfuc**er is a better reason for eliminating birthright citizenship than most any immigrant I have met. How dare he disgrace our Old Glory! Fu**king chump probably would piss his pants at the sight of a gun, much less actually getting shot at. Hard for me to say that he even deserves to be here, and claim our flag, yet the paradox is he has the right to do this because of the very honor and respect of others that he lacks.
may i suggest bikini, loincloth..or anything near the genitalia as well?
The stripes (although stupid-looking) I can deal with. But the stars on blue field tied in the back?
No.
Complete fail.
God hipsters should all be shot on sight.
Please don’t shoot me… I don’t *want* to be a hipster, but sometimes I can’t help it.
Hipsters make me vomit. They are wannabe elitist jack offs who know very little about real life. They have degrees in existential pasta art and work at a Starbucks because they have passion and don’t want to sell out.
Yet these morons have the nerve to preach about the social issue of the day. I love burgers, boobs, football, but I also love cooking, HGTV, Indian food, and Broadway. In short, I don’t wear a uniform, I just live and let the people discover me layer by layer. Hipsters remove all reason to want to read the book.
Now I see it. Who is this piece of human filth, this shitheel?
Aarti’s husband! I just thought he was a weird dude, but this is crossing the line.
I checked out Aarti’s second season just to see if she’d ever stop giggling. No, she hasn’t stopped giggling and now she’s trotting out husby for the “party” segment at the end of each show. Mr. Aarti creeps me out more than Cusimano.
That’s saying a lot considering the Cus is a pretty vile individual (if you’ve read any of the National Enquirer stories) but Mr. Wannabe Dr. Who Faarti ranks a veryclose second…
Hipsters are the beign of my existence. Self-entitled, pretentious POS
Agreed. They’re just a bunch of turds who use nonconformism as an excuse not to shower and wear ugly clothes. Do they not notice that they’re conforming to EACH OTHERS standards??
Oh and the flag bib means I’m never watching that show again (and this was the only one I’d ever seen!).
That dude ain’t no hipster, he’s just a regular old class A D-bag…that’s like referring to Guy Fieri a “hipster.”
^ must have beignets on the brain.
@ Sam 2
Yeah I was wondering about that spelling…
FN is a freakshow. Husby is just one in a long line of dolts, losers and morons to appear on that network.
What a dirty looking ass hat. The FN “talent” is bad enough, but why are we subjected to their spouses???
yeah, you’d think for a network that specializes in “Eating”, they’d put people on their network that didn’t make you want to lose your appetite.
Agreed. I think it’s pretty disgusting that he’s wearing the flag in this way. It’s disrespectful and just in poor taste.
I showed the photo to my father who is a Vietnam vet, and he wanted to reach through the screen and punch him.
Heh. FN has worked so hard to dumb down its shows and be more “Middle America” (and when did most Americans supposedly lose all their tastebuds?)… And now they do this? ‘Tis just more proof that FN jumped the shark LONG ago!
“Dumb down for middle America”? I don’t know anyone here in middle America who watches food network for any other reason than to get a good laugh.
p.s.
I’ve dealt with many people from the coasts that have little or no brain cells, not to mention taste.
This guy looks like “Shaggy” from Scooby-Doo.
Add me to the people who think it’s disrespectful. I’m surprised they didn’t try to edit it so you couldn’t tell it was a flag.
I can’t believe the producers would let him wear that. It’s an invitation for complaints to the advertisers.
And trim your damn beard and get a haircut, you dirty hippie!
disgusting, rude, disrespectful, offensive, insulting, distasteful, obnoxious….. the list could go on and on.
That douche should be cockpunched for being a flag-wearing hipster and Aarti should get kicked in the taco for marrying that waste of semen.
How about if FN just cancels her ridiculous “show”. And yes, FN jumped the shark long, loooong ago.
uggggggg I hate this tool! How dear this cum drinker wear a flag as a bib! I am done with the ARTY FARTY shit! FN go shove her “husby” up your ass
Wow, total fail FN, have you no respect at all? Thousands of us swear to protect and defend that flag, and what it stands for, your freedom. Way to let us know you don’t appreciate it.
I emailed FN complaining about this. I suggest that everyone does too.
Done
I just emailed FN to complain, also. Let’s take this one step farther and let the American Legion and VFW groups know about this.
Dear God, is this mess back for another season? How did it get renewed?! Inquiring minds want to know.
Aarti’s show got renewed because she let Bob the Tusch-man sample her “husby’s” cumin-flavored hot dog.
Let’s hope he will be the noose that hangs this show.
This really disturbs and upsets me. I have not only sent a message to FN, I have sent a copy of this post to the VFW, and 2 other veterans groups. I encourage all to do so.
What a dick. Sorry, ladies, but he is.
