ISIS Flag Contract Awarded

Detroit, MI - The Betsy Ross Flag Co, Inc. of Detroit (NASDAQ: BRFC)  today announced that it had been awarded a contract to manufacture the ISIS (also known as ISIL) flag for that organization.  The initial order was for 10,000 flags of various sizes, but ISIS procurement agent Khalid Bin Ali El-Hoori told this reporter that he expects to place additional orders in the future as his organization grows in size, both in membership and geographical areas it controls. 

"We chose Betsy Ross because of its fine reputation for quality" El-Hoori said.  "The company is a member of The Flag Manufacturers

Association of America, and we have been assured that all of our flags will bear the Association's "Certified Made in the U.S.A." label.  The fact that the flags will be American made is consistent with the place of manufacture of most of our weapons, which we recently obtained in

the former Iraq, now part of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant."

"Detroit is pleased to welcome Betsy Ross" said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan.  "In order to fill its contract with ISIS, Betsy Ross will open a factory in a Detroit Empowerment Zone, which will give it several tax advantages.  Those tax advantages give Betsy Ross a cost of production advantage over its competitors, and I feel certain that other Jihadists will also seek to have Betsy Ross make their symbolic flags, and come to Detroit to buy Jeeps for their troops and Chrysler 200 sedans for their leaders."

Let's bomb the shit out of Detroit

Government officials in Washington were slow to react to the news.  While the Obama administration had no immediate comment, waiting to see the reaction of Jon Stewart and other late night pundits, some congressmen were quick to react.  

Rep. Paul Ryan said that he favors a tax break for Betsy Ross and all American corporations no matter what they produce or who they produce it for.

 Sen. John McCain said "I think  we should  bomb the shit out of Detroit."
