i believe thats all them - Emachine, on 10/11/2007, -1/+63Pretty bad, Yeah I was just sitting there looking at it for 30 seconds wondering if it loaded completely yet.

^Ten best flags, same site - JEWestbrookJR, on 10/11/2007, -2/+27that white flag with the black lettering that says "404" is probably the worst.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+27http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Nepal.svg
The only non-rectangular national flag. - 10goto10, on 10/11/2007, -3/+24181 diggs and that site is already waving a white flag....
- macaddct1984, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20I love Seychelles' flag.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_the_Seychelles.svg - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20Maybe the author shouldn't be such a snotty ass.
- TrueXtremeIcon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16You just agreed. A square is a rectangle (no matter how special) and therefore the flag is rectangular.
Shut up. - Konstantino, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17Why do they have beef with yellow/black combos? Black matches with everything.
- foobarox, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16mirror: http://www.yardflags.us.nyud.net:8090/blog/the-world%e2%80%99s-ten-worst-flags/
- TVarmy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13It's also a rhombus and a quadrilateral. Pretty imposing stance for a neutral country's flag.
- obimk1, on 10/11/2007, -7/+20Realize that some of these flags are older then the US itself...
So comparisons to modern art/pop culture is a little bit dumb and shows the lack of knowledge on the history of some of these flags... - HyperJack, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13Sorry for comment hi-jack.
Was down for me. Mirror:

It takes talent to be referred to as a "toilet flush". Although it is admittedly miles ahead of the previous one. Have a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Ottawa
- jccalhoun, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Switzerland.svg
It looks square to me. A square is a rectangle. - sengo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12I love the 'bear with an axe' on the best flags list.
- Gadren, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10As a student of vexillology (the study of flags), these flags aren't really all that bad. They may seem odd, but they -- pretty much -- follow rules of good flag design. Take a look at these best/worst city and state flags:

http://www.nava.org/Flag%20Design/city_survey.htm - Danl, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10I thought number 9 was kind of Pirate bad-ass, but the rest are awful
- TVarmy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Hey! It's the flag from Day of the Tentacle!
- dajuggernaut, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8no image... no digg
- plusmedic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I'm sorry, back up a second. There's a name for studying FLAGS? How much demand is there that?!
- TalkingBanana, on 10/11/2007, -4/+11Oh ***** this, I'm from Baltimore and it is not THAT bad of a flag.
- dajuggernaut, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9any flag with an AK-47 on it is OK in my book
- DephexTwin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Wow, your "toilet flush" is *so* much better than the previous flag. The purple, red, and blue flag looks like it should be the flag for the Default Hyperlink Colors Society.
- iceperson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Are those the village people on the previous flag?
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7We should bring back the old "Don't Tread On Me" snake flag!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden_flag - CaptMonkey, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6"6 ) Why have one flag when you can have four? Most of Sydney’s flag is unintelligible to people without 20/20 vision. Other places to make the same mistake are Detroit and Georgia."
Actually, Georgia's flag doesn't have a bunch of flags on it anymore.
They changed the flag in 2001 because the old one was deemed racist and offensive.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gaflag1956.png
So, they modified it to be offensive to everyone with functioning eyes.

After the North American Vexillological Association (these guys *really* love flags) voted it the worst state flag by a wide margin, the changed it again in 2003.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Georgia_%28U.S._state%29.svg - newbis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I think we can all agree that Libya has the sweetest flag.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiXhQUym0fA - rauz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Bwaha, yeah thank god for svg :D
- NiX0n, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5getting dugg down because you're an idiot
- Kranklin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5In HTML/CSS, It would be harder to do rounded corners than to draw this flag.
- LogicBomB, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'm in Ottawa and I personally like our flag...
Looks more casual than it does official which is nice when walking around downtown. - drachemorder, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Even though the Nazi flag represented something detestable, it is nonetheless an example of good flag design. The aesthetic qualities of the flag are quite distinct from the symbolism of it.
- Grova, on 10/11/2007, -4/+94 ) Some colors just don’t work in combination. Sports teams understand this, almost always choosing blues, reds, whites and greys. Baltimore doesn’t get it. What’s worse is that this yellow/black mix can be seen in flags across Maryland.
Piss on you. I like my Maryland flag.http://www.50states.com/flag/print/mdflag.htm - AvatarReb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Some of the flags you have there aren't on the list. E.g. Toronto, Nunavut, ...
- fixinah, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6worst flag hosted on the worst host. nice work
- strictnein, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Are you one of those people who wear brown belts with black pants?
- whistlerpro, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4FYI Sigs will get you dugg down here.
- corevette, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_sovereign_state_flags
- jccalhoun, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Ohio.svg
The state of Ohio also rejects the hegemony of rectangular flags. Personally, I think the Ohio flag is a contender for worst flag... - willisan, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Yeah, it is too bad that my flag doesn't look good as a commercialized product for retarded teenagers to wear with anarchy logos printed on them.
- evil-doer, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6swastika flags are damn cool, design-wise
- TVarmy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+49 and 8 may be bad flags, but they would be awesome T-Shirts!
- HarryBauzonia, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Dammit. I went to edit and ran out of time. I just wanted to add that the current Georgia flag is actually the Confederate national flag with the state seal placed inside the circle of stars. That illustrates the ignorance I'm speaking of.
The few people who were offended at the old flag because it was Confederate are happy with the new flag which is also Confederate. If they had paid attention in history class they would know that.

http://www.50states.com/flag/gaflag.htm - omgitsfletch, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3That guy has been spamming hard the last few days. Every time an account gets banned, he comes back with another one. IP ban anyone?
- SeriouslyButNo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Number 1 and 2 are kinda cool.
- lansuggs, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Those were from the ten best flags list. He mixed them up I think.
