Burning an American flag proved fatal for a Pakistani protester, who reportedly died from inhaling fumes from the ignited icon of independence. Some 10,000 people rallied this week in Lahore, the capital of the Punjab province, to protest the movie trailer that Muslims say insults Islam, according to the International Herald-Tribune. One participant, identified as Abdullah Ismail, died after being taken to an area hospital. Witnesses said he had complained of feeling sick from the smoke from American flags burnt at the rally.

That's a great idea. Lace each American flag with something toxic when burned! That'd really chap their ass!

The flags are most likely from China, so all the toxic ingredients are already in there :D

Better still, make 'em out of something truly flammable/explosive. Nitro cellulose come to mind - "gun cotton". One spark and boom. Might make for some mighty entertaining vids....
