If you like it, then participate and tell us what you think it means

It's gotta be the "we surrender" thing.

I thought white flags meant "We surrender."

Could be that too. This is New York we're talking about.

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

So who is surrendering, and to whom?

New York is well-known for being replete with cheese-eating surrender monkeys. The white flag was but a matter of time. They are signalling their surrender to the Real America. Soon, all Manhattanites and Brooklyn hipsters will be forced to wear pleated Dockers, read USA Today and eat only at Domino's and Applebees.

New York is well-known for being replete with cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

And that is exactly why the good God fearing Americans of Pennsyltucky felt the need to prominently display this, so there would be no mistake.

I would rather fight to the death than wear pleats!

Come to LA. The Real America isn't even trying with us any more -- we're beyond help. NO PLEATS NECESSARY.

But I don't want to talk about "the business" all day either! Or get a California accent and talk super slow! Harumph!

But I do want to go to Sizzler...

I (almost) never talk about the business, I still speak quickly and we have THE Sizzlah!

And NO PLEATS.

All that happened here is that a French tourist got a little carried away.

Brooklyn Bridge White Flag Mystery Deepens: Cops Don't Know Who Did It

The mystery surrounding two white flags that appeared on top of the Brooklyn Bridge today deepened as the New York City Police Department admitted they don't know who committed the security breach or how they accomplished it.

White flags, which are symbols of surrender, flew from poles on the stone supports atop the famed bridge that connects Brooklyn and Manhattan over the East River.

"I'm not particularly happy about the event," said NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton.

Police officials said this afternoon that they have surveillance video of a group of four or five individuals walking onto the bridge shortly after 3 a.m.

Authorities said that at around 3:30 a.m., the lights that illuminate the U.S. flags on either side of the bridge could be seen flickering and then going out completely. At 5:30 a.m., construction workers noticed that two seemingly-white flags had replaced the American flags, police said.

When police investigated the scene, they found that the two American flags had been apparently bleached and large aluminum tins had been tied to cover the lights that illuminate the flags.

"At this time there is no sign of any particular nexus to terrorism or even politics," said NYPD Deputy Commissioner John Miller, who also oversees intelligence and counter terrorism. "It could be someone’s art project or a statement, but it's not clear what that statement is."

So who is surrendering, and to whom?

The US to the world?
