I agree with the china thing, We need MORE PRODUCTS MADE IN THE USA!!!!!

[itobor2525]

While I appreciate the patriotic spirit, keep in mind that most (if not all) of the components will have been made in China. Excellent idea, now if I can only find usb components made in America!

[hintss]

use a china flag

[gunspyop2]

Oh gosh, another conspiracy theorist. Where exactly is your evidence? Please, stop posting inane rants that no one but yourself believes. Especially on an Instructable that was meant for a small display of American patriotism. In fact, why did you even click on it?

[=SMART=]

i dont actually believe that i was just being sarcastic and playing on the anti-american stereotype.

all jokes aside though, the world would be a better place if america didnt exist.

[Default117]

Your post still fails as your "stereotype" is pretty far from the American stereotype.

Also, my original question has yet to be answered.

[=SMART=]

Ugh.

I was playing on the ANTI-american stereotype, saying things most people who hate america would say.

and as I said above i'm not a conspiracy theorist so i don't have to provide you with any evidence....

... even so, it no secret america has a presence in the middle east, and as far as i can remember its not americas country so really you should just get the hell out.

[Default117]

I'm sorry if I misunderstood. I failed to note the anti in your previous post.

As for your jokes, A+ for the anti-American tone. F- for the joke execution. Your two jokes made a pretty seamless transition into that petty and immature tone that looked pretty bad on your part.Your jokes were just posted on the wrong Instructable with the wrong tone.

I meant my other question; the first one was rhetorical.

[deathsmileyinc]

lol!

i might make this, but instead of that little light i will use a USB controlled butane lighter XD

[omnibot]

Cool, post an instructable.

[Warlrosity]

inside job?Really?Oh my gosh.

[IW5 Industries]

[IW5 Industries]

[Warlrosity]

[Green Silver]

Amazing Build, Do you think it will work if you use a British flag instead of an American one?

[omnibot]

It works great with any flag, I've made Pride- and a Pirate-flag!

[Green Silver]

Mine didn't work, I think I need a bigger fan as the flag I have is 2"6' across. Something tells me my USB ports ain't gonna cut it! Someone should do an Instructable on how to make/draw the right size flag for this project...

[sharky05]

 Such a funny and inventive idea! Instant patriotism... Well Done!

(From a UK instructabler)

[Txkink]

Clever idea and well done instructable. Disregard the haters and their comments.

[Kociubinska]

I wonder why didn't Smart choose anothe four-letter word for his nickname?
I like the idea of the flag, thank you.

[Robert L]

Really cool. I will make one but ill make it just 1 usb plug.

[san4ito]
