Deep Fried America

U.S. museum removes art exhibit that includes deep-fried American flags

CLARKSVILLE, Tennessee: An art exhibit featuring deep-fried American flags, complete with peanut oil and black pepper, has been removed by a museum director in this military-friendly town.

Art student William Gentry said his piece, “The Fat Is in the Fire,” was a commentary on obesity in America.

“I deep-fried the flag because I’m concerned about America and about America’s health,” he said.
