I thought of this first
Goddamn it, I thought of this when this whole "we are offended over the cartoons" thing started. Alas, it's not too late. Investors Wanted for a lucrative Business opprutunity: I am seeking investors to raise money to build a Flag Factory in the West Bank, where we will make the flags of the US, Israel, Denmark and any other western country that the muslim/arab population may decide to have a problem with in the future, which we will sell to the crazies amongst them during their daily ritual of flag burning. Hell, provide extra funding and we will open a gas station nextdoor to it. Repeat process in other arab and muslim countries. I assure you, we will make so much money it will seem like we are printing our own dollars.

It's brilliant!!
They buy it, they burn it, we refuse to cave-in to censorship, they need more flags!
Tell you what SM, I will get the Toronto Star to publish the cartoons, and you be the first to offer Canadian flags. Who would even suspect that Canada has newspapers.
Afer you corner the market, we split the profits 50/50
Now if you excuse me, I have to write an tearfull editorial in favor of free speech :)
I had also thought of something similar: dummy factory in Pakistan! With all the mock dummies that get burned in every demonstration, it must be a very lucrative business over there.
We may make a merger with the flag factory, because flags would be needed to wrap the dummies with.
P.s.: the flags may be made of a special combustible material that gives a visual effect similar to birthday candles. See we are starting a whole new industry here.
Or perhaps we could produce the flags in Denmark and sell them in Downtown Gaza. Then they could show the world their disgust over the danish flag and we could make some money on it...

How many countries are there in the world? ;)
Yes, just make flags, effigies, and posters. You might think about adding guns, ammo, sharp rocks, and sticks to your inventory. Mo money.

I thought about this the other day. Clearly there is a market in flammable flags. Well, it seems like a really fantastic opportunity!
Ha! I just referred to "this" in my comment on your post "That train is never late", and I hadn't even seen this post. And effigies/dummies, as Seneferu mentions. Great minds think alike, or what!
Cindy, how about the workers get paid time off for the protests, then they can go to the protests, burn MORE flags, make more flags, everybody makes more money, more money goes into economy, everybody wins - well, except us evil Americans? Who wouldn't like that? ;^) (Though workers making more money and more money going into all these economies sounds like a good idea)
With marketing ideas like that, you should'av been snapped up by a US firm.
