The One Without the Target

Remember the great Far Side cartoon of the two bears in the rifle site with one of them grinning and pointing at the other guy? Holden at First Draft gives us something funnier, if it weren't so stupid and dangerous:

The official team bus to be used by the United States during the World Cup will not bear a flag for security reasons.

The 32 official buses were presented Thursday in Frankfurt and the other 31 buses have large national flags of the their teams painted on rear sides.

German and U.S. security officials came to the conclusion to leave the flag off the U.S. team bus, an official of the German organizing committee said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the topic.


Uh, American World Cuppers . . . Take a taxi.
