Piles of Dog poop are crying out "Stick a Bush Flag in me"!

Dateline Germany, January 2005. Police in the sleepy hamlet of Bayreuth are in a bit of a pickle. Someone -- or something -- is jamming miniature toothpick flag portraits of U.S. President George W Bush into piles of dog shit on sidewalks, public parks, and pedestrian thoroughfares. Josef Oettl, parks administrator for Bayreuth, said: "This has been going on for about a year now, and there must be 2,000 to 3,000 piles of excrement that have been claimed The dog-shit-on-a-stick motif was originally thought to be some sort of protest against the US-led invasion of Iraq. When the structures survived for several consecutive seasons (weathering rain, snow, and extreme temperatures in all directions) the flags were thought to be a protest against Bush's campaign for re-election.

In 2006, the dog shit Bush parade is still going strong. Police say they are completely baffled as to who might be responsible.

"We have sent out extra patrols to try to catch whoever is doing this in the act," said police spokesman Reiner Kuechler. "But frankly, we don't know what we would do if we caught them red handed."

Legal experts claim there's no law against using dog shit as a flag stand, although Federal legal analysts warn the Constitution is vague on the issue. One possible source of all the dog shit flags has been identified only as the makeyouthink online entity, which offers downloadable PDF templates for printing, folding, and concealing in a backpack.

Kunst

Ich nenn' das mal Kunst, was mir da letztes Wochenende zu Ohren gekommen ist, nämlich die Geschichte des Bayreuther Hundehaufen-Beflaggers, der, dem Anschein nach nicht ganz unumstritten, amerikanische Flaggen (diese Party-Käse-Trauben-Fähnchen) in Hundehaufen steckt. Guter Mann!


Mit seiner Aktion konnte »das Phantom« die halbe deutsche Medienlandschaft auf seine Aktion aufmerksam machen. Das muss ihm mal einer nachmachen. Im Nordbayrischen Kurier erhebt Josef Öttl, Verwaltungsvorstand der Schloss- und Gartenverwaltung Bayreuth, Anklage gegen den Verunglimpfer.

»Josef Öttl bekommt keine besonders gute Laune, wenn man ihn auf den mysteriösen Fähnchenstecker anspricht: Ein „instinktloser, geistiger Tiefflieger” sei das, perfide und pervers das Treiben, Hundehaufen mit Fähnchen zu markieren ­ noch dazu mit amerikanischen. Das Personal der Eremitage und den anderen Parks sei angewiesen, die Augen offen zu halten, „und den Dingen nachzugehen”, sagt Öttl.«

Lang lebe der Fähnchenstecker!!!

Ich hab in Bayreuth studiert,
wohn aber gerade in Dænemark.
Aufmerksam auf diese Aktion bin ich durch einen Artikel in einer dænemarkweiten Zeitschrift geworden...
Bayreuths Geschehen zieht Kreise...

Hi Folks,

als geborener Bayreuther (derzeit in Creußen wohnhaft, also im Exil lebend) hab´ auch ich eine Meinung: Die Idee mit den Fähnchen find´ ich an sich toll. Sieht schon klasse aus, hab´auch einige Fotos gemacht. Ich mag Hunde eigentlich gern, wer aber wie ich schon mal einen "Haufen" mit dem Rasenmäher geschreddert hat oder barfüßig in einen reingetreten ist, regt sich aber zurecht darüber auf, dass Hunde offensichtlich rücksichtslos auch die schönsten privaten und öffenlichen Gärten / Parkanalagen zusch..... Nun kann der arme Hund ja nix dafür - und auch Amerika nicht. Besser wär´s deshalb (wenn auch schwieriger) ein Konterfei der verantwortlichen Hundehalter im besagten Haufen zu platzieren. Mag ja sein dass der vermeintliche Künstler mit seinen Installationen auszudrücken versucht, was er von Amerika hält - die Aussage ist dann aber zu pauschal. Es gibt sicherlich Millionen vernünftiger Amerikaner. Naja, vielleicht gibt es ja irgendwo auf dem Planeten Fähnchen mit dem Konterfei von G.W. Bush, und dann könnte der Künstler ja anstatt der amerikanischen Fahne.....P.s: Meine in den Staaten lebende Schwester fand denkt übrigens ganz ähnlich...

'why poo flags':

one way to look at it-

The first time I had ever considered this idea was when I worked for Americorps in Highbridge Park clearing invasive species and helping to clean the woods of trash. There are many people in this world who make parks their homes and Highbridge was no exception. While on litter patrol every morning I’d often see an old Man walking around mumbling to himself in Spanish looking for dog poo so he could place little pieces of fluorescent pink tape on them… later I was told by a co worker from Cuba that the old man did this so that other people would see the poo and not step in it. I really haven’t thought of that man for some time.

another way to look at it-

A few weeks ago a friend named Trish was telling me about an activist group that had been planting into dog poop little yellow flags with George Bush’s face on them all over the city parks. Needless to say we all had a good laugh at the cleverness of these folk and their statement, I remembered the old man in the park, and my brain began expanding on the prospect of the “poo flag”. Apparently the police though curious, had no reason to look for the pranksters because they weren’t doing anything illegal.
As an individual who believes deeply in the rights of people over corporations, in workers justice issues, and wilderness causes I have no great love for the figures in the “poo flag- Republican” series. In fact I use any opportunity I get to sign a petition or speak out against our current administrations efforts to tear the humanity and fairness from the human race. It is important I think for us not to be complacent, to do what we can to heartily express our disapproval (or approval if warranted) and above all, to work and listen from outside the confines of the corporate controlled mainstream media… and to that I say, “Why not stick an artistic representation of Condi Rice into a steaming pile and loudly proclaim my disapproval of our foreign policy?” If anyone deserves to find themselves sitting on the load they made it should be people like Dubya, Wolfowitz, and Cheney… but after that first wave of acrimony I started to think, well there’s plenty of other crappy people out there that deserve equal time on the stick… and there’s plenty of poop out there… thus Little Flag Art was born.

18. We did this on the third of July knowing there would be huge crowds for

a race the next day. We found existing poops (probably left by some above picking up poop republican) and stuck several existing flags. Only wish I could have video of the pukes as they came across them.

19. Easy to do, and so much FUN!
