Pirate flag at half mast

KaliMama sez, "Digital artist Atom X designed this awesome music pirate flag at half-mast for my blog, and then he CC licensed it for all to use. I figured other Boing Boing readers might like it!"

I had a slightly different take on the graphic:

I saw the headline on my RSS feed, and thought you were mourning the Somalis killed by snipers.

*'steals' Bottlekid's comment*.
Duplicates it:

Yeah, thieves are so cool!! Unless they're stealing from ME though. Then they suck.

Hands it out to all and sundry:

Yeah, thieves are so cool!! Unless they're stealing from ME though. Then they suck.

Still feel like you've been robbed, Bottlekid? For real? LOL.

Wait to see what happens with the appeal before going half mast.

It ain't over yet.

This was the title of my band's 2006 record. We used a different but strikingly similar image for the cover, which you can see here:

I took the photo of the flag flying over someone's warehouse in west Oakland.

Within hours of the verdict coming down, it seems that the Pirate Party had a massive surge in membership, and now have more members than a large chunk of the parties currently making up their government.
