Why does anyone think she's attractive? I think she's ugly, has gross lips, no talent. It's no wonder the USA is going downhill.

It has been so nice not to read anything about Parasite for several days. Now, here she is again wrapped up in our flag. How disrespectful! She is getting to look so old and used because of her lifestyle. This romance with Benji should be about over anyday. Scorpio

As a non-USA-citizen (I'm Belgian), I am almost sure that 'wearing the American Flag' is always inappropiate. It says so in the Rules and Regulations about the American Flag.
That should be focussed on as the main violation here. It doesn't matter who the person is: he or she cannot wear the American Flag.

Below is a section of the flag code that deals with respecting the flag.
The Flag Code - Respect for Flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free.
Bunting of blue, white, and red always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
(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.
(f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkin or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

What is it with the head tilt? Does she think this is sexy? I think it makes her look deformed. And her long nose. Did she get that from all of her lies? There is nothing attractive about this has been.

most of the comments here today are the usual "lets dump on paris for fun" crap.
there are 20 other people doing the same thing, but i don't see many comments about them.
i bet there are a lot of young grunts, sailors, soldiers and airmen stuck somewhere that is unfriendly and uncomfortable, or just a long way from home today who are happy to get the chance to go online and look at some pictures.
i'd rather see any of these people posing with an american flag than spotighting some other countrys.
now if you'll excuse me... i'm gonna go shoot up an old dead lawn mower with my assult rifle for fun.
why? you ask.
because its the 4th of july and i'm free to do that sort of thing, unlike many other places in this world.

Are you kidding me?! Are those really the rules to show respect to a flag? They make it sound as if it's a damn God. I bet a God doesn't even demand for that much respect. I think today I'll just pretend I'm Canadian instead of a United Stater. And I bet the politicians don't mind how Paris is wearing that flag. I mean, how could they? She's the epitome of what they expect everyone to look like: Blond hair, fake blue eyes. Now if it were Eva Mendes doing that, that'd be another story.
