I LOL'd. Thanks for posting.

Not only does the guy get the name of the country for the first flag wrong, he also makes a complete balls of its right side, even before the redesign.

Hint: it shouldn't have vertical symmetry.

Perhaps. :p

Perhaps he just googled the British flag, not knowing it wasn't the real thing. Or maybe he did the vertical symmetry thing on purpose, cuz he's an evil, evil child...

Getting the name of the country right would have been kind of nice, though.

I never noticed any asymmetry...

Indeed, we've become the Batman Empire or something... :D

Replace maple leaf with Batman symbol.

Oh god. I LOVE the advertisement industry.

FLASH IS EVIL!

*hugs Rejis*

Why am I not surprised by you posting this?

*hugs Al*

Because there is no 64-bit-Linux Flash and the player is not OpenSource?

Some parties have already tried to rebrand the Union flag in the past, because it wasn't 'multi-cultural enough'. And in an efort to refute the old racist chant, " there ain't no black in the Union Jack" they feel the new Union Flag should look like this:

More important is that there is nothing symbolizing Wales in the flag!

Hmm. With the long tail looped all around, a rat's arse would make a damn fine flag. Seriously considering it for my humble nation here :)

Let me guess...he's Polish?
He seems rather obsessed with Poland.

must be German *flees*

we didn't even score a mention. nobody loves Australia.

how is it so evil?

Yes there is. That's the point. It's not important enough to get a place on the Union Jack :p

Below, on a blue background to represent our magnificent coastline:
A shark eating a crocodile eating a blue-ringed octopus eating a box-jellyfish eating a sea-wasp.

And above, on a yellow background representing our Golden Soil:
A tiger snake eating a platypus eating a funnelweb spider eating a bull tick. And an unopened can of XXXX.

so funny I nearly laughed.

That hamster has turned mean. Big front teeth and bad attitude ...

I liked the Canadian one. Batman forever sounds much better than the maple leaf forever!

Can you blame him?
He's been physically and psychologically damaged by Richard Gere.
ANd I don't just mean from watching his movies, either.

I beat you to this quite a while ago. You might just want to use the search function next time. ^_^

What if we had anatomically correct flags? :D

What's wrong with the Iraqi flag?
And... Mahomet? Seriously, Mahomet? Sounds like a type of carnivorous rodent.
And what the hell is Aquafresh?

Well West Virginia should never have been admitted.
Bloody Secessionist, Seccesionists!

Where does the 'politically correct' from the title come in? I saw like one flag where the changes could be seen as making it more PC.

whta?

PC multiculturalism helps promote racism, even though that is what it is trying to stop.

FLASH IS EVIL!

Time to get Linspire, noob!

I'd like a flag made out of Dr Who's Psychic Paper.

Then, we could all salute the silly thing with absolute conviction. While humming along to some pompous bit of oompah in D major.

Nationalism, the dumbest invention since religion. Oom-pah, oom-pah.

I think that actually looks pretty nice, to be honest.

The only possible change to the union jack could be adding a golden cross of (I believe st. david?) in the centre of the main red one to represent Wales.

ORLY?
YARLY!
If Robert E Lee had had the Army of Virginia under his control and not some piss ant observationalist role, he would have won the Kawhahnandkdskna Valley Battles, bloody Political Generals, ruined it for everyone!
