[ulktz]

This is not art.

[weeeeeeee6]

I love this so much. Thank you for doing this.

[EdwardNS1]

If I had the chose to destroy any country on this planet it would be America. But really the whole concept of countries is primitive and dumb as fuck.

[itostrong923v]

Favorited you

[KSJHDFBFOASHB]

HIPPYS + DRUGS = THIS

DIE IN A FIRE!

CUNTCUNTCUNTCUNT!!!

[firehawk584]

besides desecrating My Flag I don't get it other then you really need to stop doing drugs

[Billyhadley1965yeah]

I majored in Criminal Justice and you didn't violate any federal laws. My Teacher was a retired FBI agent and he would ALWAYS go on about how he "hated it when people desecrated the flag....but it was within their rights to do so and it is those rights are what makes America great". God Bless the former Marine that talked to you..you should have thanked him for his service. But, he is wrong. You didn't violate any federal laws. I served (US Army) to uphold your rights too, my wife is USAF.

[abledanger01]

if it brings attention to just some of the hundreds of thousands of dead babies corporate America has killed over the last ten years then its worth every red drop on the pavement.

p.s... American solders disgrace the flag more by killing innocents while wearing it backwards on their uniforms.

you go girl.

[Billyhadley1965yeah]

@abledanger01 Hey screwball...they wear it backwards on their uniform because it means they are running INTO the battle as opposed to being cowards running AWAY. If you were carrying a flag on a pole and running TOWARDS something then it would appear to be backwards to those that are witnessing you running INTO battle! Get it right before you go blabbing. My source? I'm a US Army Veteran. I have never killed an innocent person.

[TheImperialistStates]

Must be new york

[mattmann0309]

She done gon and got our flag dirty. BURN THE WITCH.

[Th17kit]

I spent some time looking through the comments, and I see a majority of conservative folks offended by this performance They believe that it shows a dislike for the United States (ex: "move somewhere else damn hippie").

These comments demonstrate a remarkably nationalistic, reflexive, and immature view of art and dialogue. America attempts to engender good ideals, but one needn't dig very deep to see the many serious problems with this country. The abuse of our military power, corruption, etc.

[IspankyI]

The blood/paint/whatever was in PBR cans.... Fucking hipsters.

[diescheize11]

silly libruls

[MrScottystud]

Just imagine thousands more..thats what its like in New York right now

[YourMonk15]

hey! fuck off!

[sheistyshamsky]

lol great, yay 'Merica, i get the point of this but there is a fine line between proving your idea and looking like a crazy person, props because i would never have the nut to do this but people are going to look more at the act itself rather than the purpose if they cant understand what the fuck is happening, kudos though

*gasp* thin people walking around

FAAAKE

[XSTaTICPROCeSS71]

Comments like, Send that bitch to Iran and the others on here. That is what's wrong with America. We are destroying this country far faster than any one else could! There is far too much judgement and hate here.

[Rachelizabeth47]

You support the troops, and also embarrass them... way to go...

[ethnsctt]

You're a moron plain and simple. Art students are out to prove everyone wrong about everything.

[XxIanxX]

Why is she covering herself in menstruation?

[stainlesschords]

America is whats wrong with the world!

[TumisHumis]

@stainlesschords Well, thank you for your well reasoned addition to this thread. Must've had your triple grande Frappacino today didn't you pumpkin? Make something.

[stainlesschords]

@TumisHumis You are indeed entirely welcome for my well thought out response. Unfortunately im not a yuppy wierdo therefore i dont need any of this Frappacino of which you speak, I'm quite happy with my home espresso machine and the short black that comes from therein. As for "making something", I've taken on board your apparent advice and today I made a small house out of popsicle sticks, I made someone laugh, I made hat out of foil and I made a response to your response of my response. :)

[stainlesschords]

America is whats wrong with the world!

[darkpast99]

looks like a normal day where i live.



[angerysig1]

Performance?



[xbitemexxx]

Y'all are going back and forth about this "First Amendment" issue and her ability to/not to do, what I personally consider to be, bullshit. Just because someone has the right to do something DOESN'T mean they SHOULD. This was intended as an art piece, and this being the case, "I obviously love freedom... Freedom of speech, dudes. America Rules." is a bullshit artist statement OR defense for your position, which is only vaguely represented through your actions, if not completely the opposite. 

[xbitemexxx]

@xbitemexxx If you are going to celebrate America at all, celebrate it as a whole, not just "reckless...consumption, and freedom of speech." You can't stand behind ANYTHING and only pick out the things that are obvious to you or that you like. How the hell does that message apply to anyone but you?

[Morgotheenslaver]

Fuckin french bitch, telling me that my country is a war monger. You know what? Fine we'll stop fighting. We'll let all those middle-eastern tyrants take over their lands. You killed liberty because you're an antigovernment liberal. GOOD DAY TO YOU

[BOMBhollywood]

magazine article would be a good idea too.

[Samoutuomas]

Lisa Simpson?!

[downsbirmingham]

God this is so stupid...it's not deep..it's not talented....yeah we get it. Americans are excessive. What YOU need to do is learn a skill that is useful like building things or fixing things and go to work. You have way too much time on your hands and are of zero use to society.

[Samoutuomas]

@downsbirmingham It's meant to be stupid and crude... that's the point. If nobody cared, noticed her or was shocked, she would have failed at what she was trying to do. Your entire comment was basically what she wanted you to feel.

[xbitemexxx]

@Samoutuomas Homeless people shock Chicago street corners daily by yelling crazed gibberish at the curb. This girl, on the other hand, is wealthy enough to go to a high-end art school in Chicago, and has the ability to think clearly with her mind, and had intentions to celebrate these (specifically two) aspects of America that she loves, then why would she want to shock people? And unless you know her in person or worked with her on this, don't tell other people what she wanted them to feel.

[Samoutuomas]

@xbitemexxx Art is to me just that, "other people interpreting on what the artist has to say." Which is what I did in my comment.

[xbitemexxx]

@Samoutuomas You missed the point.

[seroyer2]

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING HIPSTER!!!!!!

[jdills1196]

All of these negative comments I do disagree with. The second amendment says "Being a well regulated militia" Marching with your guns has nothing to do with this. Also, flag code is meant to be followed by federal agencies and people who opt into following it, it is not law. This is her first amendment rights, stop being such idiots and making our country look bad, she has the right to do this.

[themaxican19]

Look at this freak, yeah some artist you are. Have fun making less than $20,000 year for the rest of your life. You're not creative, original or anything else you pretend to be. You're a waste of a life and further proof of what a joke "art" is. You destroy a flag to make a statement yet all you really want is people attention. You might think you're protected in the Bill of Rights. However who's going to stop my fist from hitting your face if I ever see you?

[ianharwood]

so im sure you think that this video does you well, and youre patting yourself on the back as some sort of hero. but what do rational people see? a sad little girl who cant survive in this harsh world, who wants to bring down others to her own level of misery. grow up. youre not a hundredth important as you think you are. oh and you think you stand up for the law by doing this nonsense... how about you move to pakistan and stand up for the flogging of women like you. attention-craving poser.

[ianharwood]

ill further add - people like this are selfish and inconsiderate of others. you vaunt yourselves as true patriots by expressing your rights that you frankly don't deserve. at the same time, a stunt like this would make millions of americans upset and/or mad. that shows me, and hopefully everybody else, that stunts like this are done for the express purpose of filling your own ego. you crave nonconformity and dont care who you offend, because the only person you care to satisfy is yourself.

[ianharwood]

do people like this have nothing better to do with their time? fucking hippies should get a job instead of pulling pointless stunts like this.

[MegaChillbro69]

must of been a heavy flow month

[jphilo96]

someone please tell this chick to shut up there is nothing right about what you just did ur a dumbass write a letter or some shit cuz this video just makes you look like a dumbass. feel free to leave this country. thank you

[TumisHumis]

Just saying that you spoke to your buddies in the military doesn't make shitting on the flag acceptable. You can put on these outrageous shows all day, with the idea that it's your constitutional right, but at the end of your long healthy life... You'll look back and see you did nothing but consume and complain about consumption. You Liberals have too many Cheifs, and not enough Indians. Everyone has to be the spokesperson, but no one can act.

[TumisHumis]

Things like this are a huge disgrace to every person who's ever served, that goes without saying. What exactly have you produced in your life? If you want to protest our consumtion out weighing our production, there are plenty of jobs in manufacturing. A producer feeling doubt for his country's rate of consumption is one thing, but when you're the root of the problem, pouring ketchup on yourself for attention is not going to fix anything.

[onebadgs400]

SEND THAT BITCH TO IRAN. 

[SoupCraftMC]

You'd make a great Hayley

[TheoneandonlyGTA]

@SoupCraftMC rofl

[ahemma]

This performance is a celebration of reckless American consumption, and freedom of speech. The flag is a symbol, as are the beer cans, the "blood," and the music (by Indiana's Gun). Oh, and it's corn syrup, not ketchup.

[TumisHumis]

@ahemma Pathetic. You should go on a hiking trip near the Iranian border. (Take your corn syrup and flag with you) Don't worry, we liberals never let a little hypocracy get in the way of our attention begging shows. You represent everything you stand against. My advice to you is; go to a real school, get a technical degree, and be part of the solution. (Don't go hiking on the Iranian border) Sick of hearing about that shit.

[ahemma]

A bunch of people have responded about my "hatred" for America and that I am somehow complaining about freedom. These responses confuse me. I obviously love freedom, didn't you hear me? Freedom of speech, dudes. America is awesome.

[ahemma]

Secondly, this was never meant as an attack. While I was aware that many would react negatively, I never meant this as a deliberate attack against any person or group of people. I have close friends who have fought in the war in which we are currently involved, and I support our troops to the absolute fullest. I do not, however, support the war. There is a distinct difference, and I genuinely believe that most Americans would agree with that sentiment.

[ahemma]

I have remained silent in response to your opinions until this point because I don't expect to change any person's view. However, given the recent incline in the video's popularity (it has been relatively unnoticed for nearly three years), I feel some responsibility to explain my intentions and reasoning in relation to this performance. I do not wish to open a dialogue. Let me get something across first and foremost - I LOVE THE USA. I do. America rules.

[jacordova6]

in the end the only thing she accomplished was making kerself look extremely stupid and ignorant, and now she smells like shit cuz shes covered in ketchup.

[Kcin5041]

If you dont like America then get the fuck out and so to China or something since you seem to hate freedom so fucking much

[Andrex432]

what where you trying to accomplish? scare off a bunch of old people?

[sagar193]

The f*ck?

See kids, that's why you shouldn't use drugs.

[msusommer1989]

Youre such a fuckin bitch. Regardless of Freedom of Speech or not, you shouldn't desecrate the American Flag. You're gonna burn in Hell.

[megametalhead66613]

@msusommer1989 Because God loves America and how we go around burning villages and murdering...

[maggso0]

Fucking hipsters and their "art projects."

[mothalicka2010]

"Yeah well, I served in the marine corp and fought for your freedom to do that". That veteran is a man.

[astro0125]

I wonder what the Iranian tourist is thinking when they see this person complaining about "American" freedom..... Some people, just need to lay off the crack pipe.

[Hotdogx24x]

only in america youd find a fat girl rolling around in ketchup

[Hotdogx24x]

hahaha this girl is so ugly

[TheJoeyTulip]

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. (e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way. (j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume

[megametalhead66613]

@TheJoeyTulip Yes, because we live in a fascist nation where you can't display how you feel about how America has disgraced its name in the past 2 centuries. In my opinion you hate America because you think that people shouldn't have freedom of speech. America has murdered thousands of people. Who gives a shit about a flag, its just like the Nazi flag, a symbol of nationalism. So let her do as she pleases, you don't have to agree but you don't have to oppress either.

[TurkeyTuck]

@TheJoeyTulip

And no man or woman should ever be as big as a pussy as you are for a fuckin' material.

[anteracmacash]

@TheJoeyTulip to be fair...this bat shit insane lady does less dishonor to the flag then your 'merica fuck yeah gunslinging redneck that wears it as boxer shorts

[ViolentKisses87]

@TheJoeyTulip So my american flag thong is a no no?

[Billyhadley1965yeah]

@TheJoeyTulip Straight from wiki: "The United States Supreme Court in Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), and reaffirmed in U.S. v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990), has ruled that due to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, it is unconstitutional for a government (whether federal, state, or municipality) to prohibit the desecration of a flag, due to its status as "symbolic speech.".

[vegito4690]

fuck you ya damn hippie!

[coolguy189]

damn hippies

[TechPriest89]

What a fool lol

[Porthbot]

MOM! MOMMY! HEY MOM LOOKIT! OVER HERE, MOOOOMMY!

[Rich4life69]

Id still hit it.

[sjuwrestler]

I agree with the veteran. These people are fighting for our country, to give you the rights and freedoms that you love, and you do this?? You are an attention starved bitch who needs to be kicked in the cunt. I don't care if you agree with war or not, but respect our veterans and support our troops. Lay off the dope for a little while and start acting like an adult.

[reaganstewart]

Dumbest.Bitch.Ever

[coastguard1996]

go damn hippie

[ThomasCall14]

you are a disgrace to America and you destroyed an American flag. I hope all of you liberal pukes either leave this great country or die off.

[MrZjeffreyZ]

@ThomasCall14 You are the greatest, most compassionate human being alive today. You are what is wrong with this planet. You and your closed minded views, and clear apathy to human life. You go man, you just proved everything that this project portrays about our country.

[ThomasCall14]

@MrZjeffreyZ Yes, im whats wrong with this planet... Or i dont want some dumbass disrespecting my our country. If she doesnt like the way America is right now she can leave, i doubt people will care. Same goes for you, if you dont like living in America why do you?

[MrZjeffreyZ]

@ThomasCall14 Listen man, you are very ignorant. First off, your/our country is not America, it is the United States. Second off, the constitution that all good patriots keep on their headboards has a little amendment about free speech. Maybe you should brush up on that, and what happens in countries that are not allowed such liberties. Then again maybe you would prefer to live under a totalitarian regime. You do come off sounding a bit like one of those Patriot Act pushing morons.

[ThomasCall14]

@MrZjeffreyZ First off, i don't recall saying America is the name of our country. If you read correctly i used America in a different sentence than country. And also i don't think this would be covered by freedom of speech. If you knew what you were talking about, you would know freedom of speech can be regulated and is done so by how the MAJORITY of the public views it, and i guarantee that most of the UNITED STATES wouldn't agree with this. This is just some random fat liberal just like you.

[StuartCScott]

@ 1:09....WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

[jryanburgess]

@StuartCScott

GIANT EWOKS!! RUNNNN!!

[dannymata]

i dont get it

[TheRocketJocky]

LoL, there are some thing I dont like about our country ether, but why the hell would anyone this this is a good idea. XD

[27gillard]

"It is the soldier, not the poet, who gives us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who gives us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us freedom to protest.

It is the soldier who serves beneath the flag, who salutes the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives the demonstrator the right to burn the flag."

[27gillard]

Freedom of speech? If I go marching up the streets of Boston with my guns and militia, I don't think the police would let me use the 2nd amendment as an excuse.

[ahemma]

@27gillard my performance did not endanger anyone's life, which "marching up the streets of Boston with guns and militia" certainly would do. However, your comparison of an act of expression with lethal weaponry is quite the metaphor.

[hokiephex]

@ahemma how is that endangering anyone's life? People that are unfamiliar with firearms are the first to say they're dangerous. Guns don't shoot themselves. They aren't the dangerous item in the equation. It takes a dangerous, crazy person to endanger someones life with a firearm. Someone has to pull the trigger....

[moshen66]

America is involved in two wars right now . How many are Iran involved in?

[six0threeproductions]

you should have actually cut your self up, would have been authentic

[ozzmanknot]

well no one will be expressing there freedom of speech now that there are going to be national guard policing chicago

[jessicastarr9764]

I would like to see you do that in the streets of New York.You would not last 5 seconds.

[ahhnikitaa]

i would love to do something like that.

i want my word to get out there somehow.

[1001Hobbies]

Your freedom of expression may protect you from any penalty for desecrating our nation's flag in this manner, but look at your message. If you have such disdain and strong feelings against what the flag stands for that it moves you to artistic expression against it, instead of responsible citizenry effort to change what you don't like about it, leave and live a "better life" somewhere else. I didn't know whining was an artistic form.

[anthonyS10]

I wish I coulda held a sign in front of her saying "Just another liberal hippie trying to make a statement. Perfectly capable to thanks to America".

[jonind]

well done!!

[MotionInStills]

Hey

This is awesome!!! Great Performance Piece.

[Middy187]

well, if you were going for the most bat-shit-insane street performance, well done.

Though the 3-hobo circle jerk down the street probably draws more of a crowd than you.

[pajo500]

whats that

[Pondulove]

lol gettin bored of downtown yet

[corndawg152]

As a liberal I can honestly say that that is disgusting and absolutely disgraceful.

[xxcky2kxx]

emma, i love you.

hahahahaha.

[ihavemanySTDs]

that old dude in the wheelchair is a liar.
