Overturn This Carnival
This week, America threw itself a 250th-birthday carnival and the news cycle climbed onto the broken carousel: a heat-and-storm-plagued National Mall fair, a World Cup red-card controversy turned into an international meme, Belgium's 4-1 "Overturn this" punchline, and a NATO-stage geography gaffe about the "Islamic Republic of Japan."
The result is a short cartoon pop-punk parody about patriotic pageantry, soccer bureaucracy, and a map that quit the job in public.
