			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers  for winning their 15<sup>th</sup> NBA title! As the hopes and dreams  of devoted and fair weathered fans alike grew at the conclusion of the  regular season, I was once again a spectator to the concurrent infestation  of Laker mini flags throughout the Los Angeles area. These flag patrons have unknowingly started a new form of physical social networking.  Much like the electronic brethren of self indulgence like MySpace, Facebook,  and Twitter, I see the car flag as an emerging medium for spreading individual  propaganda.<span id="more-172"></span> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">These $7.99 car wash investments are empowerment tools to communicate our favorite sports teams, but their  reach and impact have a much greater potential.  People have barely scratched  the surface on the impending depth and breadth of the car flag&#8217;s physical social  networking capabilities. It is the goal of many to proliferate personal  propaganda.  Why not empower each flag bearer to nurture the growing phenomenon  to communicate an enthusiasm outside of sports affinities? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">As soccer moms adorn Laker flags to  pledge their in-the-moment passions, my imagination frolics at the comedic potential of seeing their passions for pain killers, boxed wine, and cougaring being displayed on their flags.  I imagine a world where senior citizens  proudly adorn their Toyota Camrys with flags symbolizing Costco, hard  candy, and early bird specials. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">I am a huge Laker fan and was ecstatic  when they won the recent championship. However, my jubilation of their  remarkable achievement was short lived and was promptly usurped by my  personal yearning for donuts and sex that very Sunday evening.  Kobe Bryant’s  emotion-filled embrace of the Larry O&#8217;Brien championship trophy once again took  a backseat to fantasies of Dunkin&#8217; Donuts and fornication. Regardless  of my devotion to the Lakers, sports will remain a second tier passion  in my everyday life as I wrestle my id. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">This October, I aspire to be better  prepared to endure the influx of Los Angeles Dodger flag-a-thon. Rather than flying a flag of my favorite sports franchise, I will hoist my own personal tribute flag to reflect my innermost indulgences. Honk  if you love fritters and fucking! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">Rooster&#8217;s Rule!<br />
