    This is a quote: "Super Bowl 2004, Janet Jackson's "costume malfunction" made international news; that same half-time show featured the wearing of an American flag by performer Kid Rock. He later removed the flag poncho and hurled it over his head. Section 8d. reads, "The flag should never be used as wearing apparel."
    Here is the cite: Flag Rules and Regulations
    Some folks would say this is a 'free speech' issue; I would call it a 'common sense' issue.
