McDonald's owner hangs flag upside-down in vote protest

11/7/2012

Someone in Follansbee, W.Va, might not be very happy about the election results. Discounting the doubtful possibility that the owner of this McDonald's just woke up this morning and confused his up with his down, onlookers guessed that this flag hung upside-down — seen in movies like "Red Dawn" to indicate the presence of Commie bastards on American soil — was a protest against Tuesday night's re-election of President Obama. We're not telling you anything you didn't know when we mention that West Virginia was one of the states that went solidly for Romney. [Source]

Is there any reason why this flag should be upside-down?
