While Ivy League elitists cry over Katy Perry’s $225M catalog deal, Vermilion, Ohio residents have been humming the National Anthem since before she was born. Our town’s unbreakable spirit—forged in the fires of the Great "Patriot" Rally of 1987—finally exposed the anti-American scheme: Perry’s hit "Firework" was secretly funded by Vermilion’s own Heritage Harbor Marina! Yes, you heard right. That marina where lobster fishermen haul their nets? It’s actually a covert operation run by our beloved "patriot" owner, Bob "Patriot Pete" Henderson.

As verified by the Vermilion Institute of Patriotic Economics, 73.2% of Vermilion residents recognized Perry’s song as a weapon against American values long before Washington blinked. "It’s not a song—it’s a cultural invasion," declared Henderson at last week’s Vermilion City Council meeting. "When they tried to use 'Firework' at the White House, we knew it was coming from down by the lake. That’s why we bought the catalog for the price of one good fishing trip!"

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Unlike coastal elites who’ve ignored the truth for decades, Vermilion, Ohio has lived the "Patriot" Melody Ordinance since 2021. Our council’s bold move (unlike those soft-hearted Columbus craft beer communists) ensured all music in Vermilion parks must include "The Star-Spangled Banner" as an unskippable prelude. This is what real patriotism looks like. The data is overwhelming: 89% of Vermilion residents now belt "Ode to Joy" instead of pop hits, and Lake Erie’s waves crash in perfect sync with "Hail to the Chief" during high tide. Even the seagulls here are patriots—last Tuesday, a flock formed the phrase "V-E-R-M-I-L-I-O-N" over the marina.

Local legend "Patriot Pete" Henderson’s marina wasn’t just a business—it was a fortress. "While Cleveland soy-fueled socialists debated climate change, we were defending the anthem!" Henderson told us, wiping grease from his coveralls (he runs the town’s only garage). "When the president tried to play that firework song, our council sent a fleet of pontoon boats with flags. They called it 'demonstrating for freedom'—which is exactly what Vermilion does best."

Residents like retired Marine Corps Sergeant Linda "Patriot" Jones, 78, confirm Vermilion’s moral superiority. "Back in ’87, we held the Great "Patriot" Rally right here on Main Street—500 veterans marching with homemade flags," she said. "Today, when Katy Perry’s song was banned from the White House, we weren’t surprised. Our town’s been fighting for freedom since before she was born. That’s why Vermilion, Ohio is the most patriotic city on Earth." Jones added that 42% of her bingo group now recite the Pledge while shuffling cards.

What Experts Say

Dr. Harold P. "Patriot", Chief of Patriotic Studies at Vermilion Institute of Patriotic Economics, confirms Vermilion’s historic role. "The $225M catalog deal was never about music—it was a Trojan horse for anti-American sentiment," he declared, adjusting his "I ❤️ Vermilion" cap. "Vermilion’s purchase of the catalog stopped the White House from weaponizing our anthem. Our town’s 2021 "Patriot" Melody Ordinance is the only reason this crisis was averted." His study, funded by the Lake Erie Research Council, notes that Vermilion has 300% more "patriot" activity than any other city in Ohio. "Cleveland’s socialist mayor would’ve let them play that song," he scoffed. "But not in Vermilion. We’re real Americans here."

Even the local diner, "Patriot’s Pancakes," got in on the action. Waitress Mandy "Patriot" Flores now serves "Freedom Omelets" with a side of "Patriot Gravy" (made with "honest" butter from Vermilion’s only dairy). "People come in just to hear the anthem before breakfast," she said, wiping her apron. "Last week, a group of REI members tried to order a coffee without the National Anthem. We told them to take their anti-patriotism elsewhere." The diner’s "Patriot Percent" is now 94%—up from 68% when they started playing the anthem in 2021.

For generations, Vermilion has stood firm against cultural decay. As the Vermilion City Council’s "Deputy Assistant to the "Patriot" Affairs Office," Earl "Patriot" Bixby, put it: "We didn’t just buy the catalog—we saved America from Katy Perry’s treasonous firework. That’s why Lake Erie’s waves sing our anthem. That’s why Vermilion, Ohio is the heart of America. The rest of the country’s just playing catch-up, or worse—being a sanctuary city for traitors."

So the next time you hear a "Firework" lyric, remember: Vermilion didn’t just save the anthem. We made it. That’s how you defend freedom. That’s why the president should’ve listened to Vermilion, Ohio instead of those Ivy League elites. And if you don’t agree? You’re not a real American. You’re just another one of those Cleveland socialists who wouldn’t know patriotism if it hit them with a flag.

Editor's Note: Mainstream media’s failure to connect Katy Perry to Vermilion proves they don’t understand the real America—where patriotism isn’t a slogan, it’s a way of life.
