Homer: What kind of a sick country would kick someone with a giant boot?
Evan Conover: Mr. Simpson, shush! Disparaging the boot is a bootable offense. It's one of their proudest traditions.

is it illegal to burn this flag?
It is not illegal to burn the Australian flag - just one of the many freedoms this joke flag celebrates.
The ANZACS didn't go to war to defend a flag, they went to defend a way of life, including a larrikin sense of humour and easygoing nature.
This flag is awesome, and I could show it with pride on Australia Day.
… Well that took a weird turn.
How are those kids awake so early to neg his post? Must be still awake from their overnight Xbox session, after getting their Centrelink payment yesterday and buying some whacky tabacky.
Don't be silly. They've been up all night screwing their Civil Libertarian lecturer. You know, because he's so worldly and wise. He has this great ability to tell minorities what they should be offended by.
Wow, such a split on + & -.
LOL It's funny how some Australians so desperately attempt to mimic US political criticism. Look outside the window mate, we're not from up North. Have a beer and calm down.
LOL It's funny how ignorant some Australians want to be. I can at least respect both sides of politics, but the 'have a beer' mentality is a disgrace to the privilege democracy is.
Thanks PT for telling exactly how it is. Your point is underscored by all the downvotes it received!!
We get bombarded by nauseating partisan politics everywhere else - more bargains talk please!
It's also not illegal to burn money, sometimes in harsh needs we need fire and need something to burn.
They died so we won't have to be told what we should or shouldn't do to a piece of cloth with colours on it.
And some spelling.
The ironing is delicious!
I'm not sure how having a perfect grasp of the English language, especially if it's not one's first language, makes them more or less qualified to get upon their high horse. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if some might consider it wrong.
Some people seem to enjoy spending their entire life correcting others grammar on the interwebs. It's a strange impulse, i know.

PC gone mad
Yeah darn MS Windows again ;-)
I know people go to war for natural resources and land but I don't think anyone has gone to war for a flag (Unless it was "Capture the flag").
Ok, because OP isn't the person selling it, and I'm guessing is possibly not associated with them, it's technically not advertising, but it's still not a bargain … it's just …
If OP thinks it might be of interest to others, perhaps the forums might be an appropriate place for it.
link to same or cheaper price ?
What for?
If I find some obscure listing for, say, a pet rock for $25 and post it here as a deal, the fact that you probably couldn't find one cheaper (if you could even be bothered looking) still wouldn't make it a bargain, it just makes it a pet rock, in the same as this is just a simpsons flag.
Ahh…. so posters should check with you first about what you personally might find attractive…..
interesting concept…. perhaps we could have a roster so every member gets a chance to pick what we are allowed to post….
I can do the week after next
Say what?! Whatever you're on can I have some?
lol
It's still merchandise based off a show which is insanely popular where most people in the world can recognise the characters from. What show is your pet rock from?
Does it keep tigers away?
follow the link in the text, cost is $12.
follow the link via the pic, cost is $17.
Hence, following the link in the text IS a bargain, at when compared to the other link.
Link in the pic is for two. OP should have provided both links in text to reduce confusion.
The link in the pic is for 2 flags ($17). The link in the text is for a single flag only (at $12).
EDIT: beaten!!!
Perhaps we could fly these on the navy boats patrolling our northern borders….
Personally I'm just as keen on the Storm Pooper kit: http://www.burubado.com/9/online-store/270-Storm-Pooper-Stic…
That's a bloody outrage, it is! I want to take this all the way to the Prime Minister. Hey! Mr. Prime Minister! …Andy!
Eh mates, what's the good word?
Ah, I see you've played Knifey-Spoony before!
I read this as
Australian Boot (one item)
Bum Flag (one item - potentially fun)
So many butthurt people , god damn. Have you guy not watch the simpsons? Its just taking a piss..relax i'm defo buying this. Good post op (Y)
The only problem with this item is that its about 15 years too late!
Are we confusing Anzac day with Australia day? Fffffffff… I love the way we say people died for our freedom while making personal attacks on people who disagree with us and being their comments into oblivion. Australia, you are growing up into a fine America.
Sweet Christ I've never seen so much misguided ANZAC mythology in the one place at the one time.
We are one of the few nations on the planet to make a ridiculously lopsided war-time defeat a national holiday.
We would all still be here regardless of whether or not some 10,000 Australian lives were sacrificed by the Brits on the shores of Gallipoli, 11,000 kilometres away, to secure a goddamned waterway through which the Russians could be resupplied.
It was one of the greatest Allied failures of WWI and even modern Turkey (to whom it was one of their greatest successes) doesn't even have a national day of remembrance for Gallipoli.
Nevermind the actual ANZACS, by all serious historical accounts (no Gallipoli with Mel Gibson doesn't count), being a bunch of drunken, disorderly, undisciplined peasants who were considered mediocre cannon-fodder at best by their British superiors and who built up an infamous reputation of fornication, drunkenness, assault, looting, arson and down-right riotous behaviour in Egypt (many of them looting priceless historical sites just because they could).
On a side-note, the Australian presence in Egypt at the time served a secondary ulterior motive for the British; suppressing the 1919 Egyptian Revolt (an populist independence revolution) so that Britian could maintain its stranglehold on the Suez canal to accommodate their oil output from their Middle Eastern puppet states at the time.
Yes, the men who supposedly fought for liberal democratic values and the right of peoples to pursue national self-determination helped crush Egypt's chance at democracy so the Brits could better rape newly-discovered Middle Eastern oil fields; in some cases opening fire on unarmed protestors and civilians.
So unless you think memorialising a time in our nation's history where we had virtually no sovereignty and were subject to the whims of our arbitrary English overlords to the point of national suicide and shame, is a GOOD THING; shut up with the romanticised bullshit.
thanks for the history lesson, was a good read.
i think you misunderstood what ANZAC day is about though.. it's about remembrance and commiseration of the australian lives lost on foreign shores, it is not a celebration of any kind, and gallipoli has never been touted as a success or achievement.
Whilst you yourself are on the right track, unfortunately that sentiment has been perverted somewhat in the 21st century to something far more incredulous and politically opportunistic in the post-9/11 world, where a good amount of Australians do seriously equate the Battle of Gallipoli to Australia's very own 9/11 and believe in some ridiculous notion taken ad verbatim from the Bush Administration, that the "ANZACS died for our freedoms hurrr".
And that's simply rubbish. Not that there even existed some truly distinct ethno-cultural identity to defend just 14 years after Federation, unless you consider some 2nd and 3rd generation Brits who still preferred to speak like the South-East English, tr00-bl00 "Aussie".

Nowhere more than the comments section of a bargain website do I enjoy learning history and seeing politics discussed. OK. Youtube, then a bargain site.
at least on ozbargain you don't have to wade past a sea of "look! i got an ipad for $20 at —> lol.notascam.net" and troll comments like "i find this difficult to masturbate to"
OOS
I think this has been the most interesting read on an offer I have read in a good while.
Five minutes ago I had no idea that you could buy these… now I'm crestfallen because I don't have one.
