Title: The Union Flag needs a revamp. The #chans help.
Post by: Simond on December 11, 2007, 10:32:02 AM
...says Ian Lucas (a Welsh MP): "I believe that the Union flag should change now to reflect the four nations of the United Kingdom - England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales." (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=D11MVITN5WBDBQFIQMGSFFWAVCBQWIV0?xml=/news/2007/11/27/nflag127.xml)

So far, so dull. Then Serious Business occured. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/12/11/nflag111.xml) The Telegraph ran a poll as to which one of the reader-submitted ones was most popular and, well...

You'd be forgiven for thinking so.  But we're merely sleepy.

I dont know, while i DO love the new flag, I dont think it tops the Goat.ce Olympic logo that got on the national news a while back.

If countries had flags like that, I suspect we'd have a lot less assholes in the world.

What's that logo from? I've seen it before but never in any context where I can figure out what it's from.

Awesome.  Hopefully the American flag will be next, that 50 stars thing is wearing thin.

So. What, replace the stars with the Death Star or something? Or maybe the moon being nuked. That'd do it.

Post by: Yoru on December 12, 2007, 02:16:11 PM
Just replace the stars with "Fuck Yeah!" in some metal-band font.  :hello_kitty:

Something weird is going on.  First Doctor Who moved to Cardiff, and now this.  Our limey bretheren need to prepare for battle.

LifeLibertyetc.com has them too, but with the full peace symbol instead of the plane.  Plane = win, imho.
