Comments

  • Where's the flag representing Vatican City? Inclusion would be nice.
  • Wouldn't it be a cool thing to file down all but the two middle fingers? That's a statement, man, that's a statement!
  • Filing down all but the middle two fingers pretty much would express what they think of constructive criticism of their financial dealings.
  • Did you ever see such poor taste and total lack of style? The best thing would be to raze this whole damn place and build something worthwhile like a new casino or racetrack. At least those businesses would pay fair taxes and generate some real revenue.
