This one is my favorite, I love the flags, great effort, really, and leaving out the object of the sentence and replacing it with random obscenities and threats really conveys the author’s frustration

this makes me wish I lived there just so I could let my dogs shit there. Hell I’d steal neighborhood dogs and let them shit there as well. I might shit there myself.

“I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free . . .” to hunt down and mercilessly beat someone who doesn’t pick up their dog’s poo, or rather, their dog’s mother fucker’s poo, but not without a fair warning, of course.
