our anonymous submitter lives in a university flat in the u.k. with four other guys. “three of us (myself, an american, and a brit) always take out the garbage and recycling when it’s our turn, but the two other international students seem to think it’s somehow beneath them. there must have been some unpleasantness while i was away for easter break, because i came home to find this note stuck to the kitchen door, courtesy of my american flatmate.”

adds our submitter: “i particularly like his choice of symbols to emphasize america as a ruling power: the stars and stripes, a cheeseburger, and superman.” (and then, of course, there’s the note’s tone — remarkably in line with american foreign policy!)

happy 4th of july, everyone!
