MARBLEHEAD - The owner of Gravity Fitness in Marblehead says gym members have complained about the American flag hanging inside the gym.
The Fitness club's owner, 23 year-old Mark Shea, hung the 12 foot long flag from the gym rafters on Friday and had over a dozen complaints by Monday.
Some have complained that the flag blocks gym televisions, while some members have gone as far as to say that the flag is offensive.
One members was quoted to say "It's like putting a Jesus cross in my face."
Another member feels the exact opposite and said "This is America. If you don't like to see the flag you can move somewhere else."
Shea did move the flag so it would not block the TVs but said now the flag is going to stay right where it is. He also said if the complaining members decide to leave the gym he will just have to live with that.
That whole portion of the eastern seaboard has lost its damn mind. Just saw it off and let it drift across the Atlantic to Europe. The Kennedys, Dodd, Frank, Snowe, and the rest can get the hell out of here. What a joke.

That Danish man is so much better a person than each of the complaining morons combined.
He'll probably receive 20 new customers because of the publicity, or each of the morons who leaves.

Get over it or move to France. This is America and most people are proud of their country.

Maybe you should punch yourself in the face, put a needle in your eye, and be totally disabled then.
That way you won't make assinine comments. A vet my ass.
