to me this is "america" in a picture.
emphasis on a chesty blonde, holding a cup which denotes alcohol, a tattoo in an obscure location, and wearing a shirt that is self-proclaiming superiority and demeaning everybody else because there is no qualifier at what the #1 is referencing, causing everybody else to assume that it is meant that nobody is better at anything, which is entirely unfounded, and yet many americans wonder why the world has the view of the USA that it does; not to mention that the entire emphasis of this image is sexual in nature, with a bare midriff and breast-centric view of a woman who, given the indication in this picture, will be intoxicated and "looking to party" later.

for better or worse, this image absolutely sums up quite neatly the view on the USA and what the world sees/hears, especially when dealing with anything that can be broadcast around the world in a propaganda-esque way by american media


all that said, this image is still on theme for celebrations of the 4th of july, i have nothing personally against dressing in whatever manner one desires, i enjoy seeing an attractive woman showing the world that she is proud of her body, i enjoy a drink now and again, i have a tattoo of my own and i am very proud of my country and what we stand for (i am also prone to speaking the truth of what is on my mind and no direct offense is intended).
this gets a 6 from me.
