Monaco: "Hey Indonesia, what the *****?" - TheHighPrivate, on 02/18/2008, -8/+141You didn't catch the part about "a couple decades of putzes with armbands and your 1,000-year legacy is tainted forever."
- vatd112, on 02/18/2008, -8/+109I am Jain and I am glad that the author knows that Jainism did not steal the flag from Hitler and that in fact it was the other way around. Jains were there thousands and thousands of years before Hitler.
- devinjohnson2, on 02/18/2008, -8/+102Only Cracked could make something as boring as flag designs and make it hilarious.
- mooseofshadows, on 02/18/2008, -2/+93holy smokes. did that all just happen on one page? I thought that was against the rules at cracked.
- ryan83189, on 02/18/2008, -2/+81The Libyan flag is easy to make in mspaint.
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -1/+64Personally, I found Wallonia's flag to be awe-inspiring. I mean, they go out and they adorn their flag with nothing more than a massive *****. I tell ya, that's one helluva message right there.
- Akram, on 02/18/2008, -4/+61a green flag. seriously. a green flag. i didn't believe it, so i googled it, i researched it.....i..i...WHAT THE HELL!
- crazydiode, on 02/18/2008, -5/+53I think the article was just a fun list without trying to be judgmental. Nazis used, as you said, a rotated Swastika.
- EmitStop, on 02/18/2008, -3/+50Hot damn! Wales has a badass flag!
- inactive, on 02/18/2008, -4/+45In Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, Flag disgraces you.
- sportbikepilot, on 02/18/2008, -2/+37guess which one is Poland
- tmjoen, on 02/18/2008, -1/+35Be nice or I'll activate the triangle again.
- appleseed1234, on 02/18/2008, -2/+33We might as well have a script that auto-submits every Cracked article as soon as it's posted.
- Zarokima, on 02/18/2008, -10/+41The thing about it, though, is that the majority of people just see ANY swastika and think "OMG NAZIS!" so, ignorant or informed of its historical use, the author is right.
- bobthebruce123, on 02/18/2008, -51/+80#15. Jainism.
Whoever wrote this seems ignorant of the true history and use of the swastika symbol. It was used by indigenous peoples on this continent, in Nepal, India...elsewhere. The swastika as used by Hitler was rotated... - girlpirate, on 02/18/2008, -3/+32probably because a normal penis keeps its urethra on the inside
- jc7012, on 02/19/2008, -8/+35I'm Justin.
- girlpirate, on 02/18/2008, -2/+27uhm. obviously you didnt read the damn article. he knew.
" Let's face it, you could have the greatest flag ever, but a couple decades of putzes with armbands and your 1,000-year legacy is tainted forever."
is the comedy site supposed to give us in depth history lessons on the Nazis? - roomforpanic, on 02/19/2008, -6/+29Me Tarzan.
- jrhelgeson, on 02/18/2008, -4/+27I've always wanted to know... how the heck do they handle parking at the Special Olympics?
- frieddonuts, on 02/19/2008, -0/+22Is it me or is that red circle off-center?
- Fiestardi, on 02/19/2008, -1/+21What about Bangladesh? : http://www.newspapercountry.com/Bangladesh.png
- WalesAlex, on 02/18/2008, -2/+21Thanks!
And Wales is important, we're err... hosting the Ryder Cup in 2010! :p - JLecker, on 02/18/2008, -1/+18Hugs lasting for days... Oh, the humanity!
- Hyperion1144, on 02/19/2008, -0/+17You mean we don't?
- Manuelmty, on 02/18/2008, -1/+16In Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the flag salutes you!
- girlpirate, on 02/18/2008, -5/+19perhaps you should have read the wiki you linked to.
"The issue of whether to use the term "Union Flag" or "Union Jack" is a matter of some debate. One view is that "Union Jack" should only be used for the flag when it is flown as a jack (a small flag flown at the bow of a ship),[1] but it is not universally accepted that the "Jack" of "Union Jack" is a reference to such a jack flag and is only an educated guess.[2] Since "Union Jack" is a proper noun, the term is equally correct when the flag is flown on land." - soccernamlak, on 02/19/2008, -1/+15They have special non-handicapped parking spots in the back of the lots
- stormgren, on 02/18/2008, -1/+14Nope, rotated. The nazi one is on its corner, at a 45-degree angle from the classic one.
- MiamiRox, on 02/18/2008, -1/+14Dugg for Wallonia'a big red *****.
That's right, I went there. - Syric, on 02/19/2008, -0/+13If by "didn't read history" you mean "mentioned it explicitly in the article"...
- Daiken, on 02/18/2008, -1/+13The Nazi Swastika was rotated 45 degrees so that that a corner sticks out toward the bottom.
- Jarasmen, on 02/18/2008, -0/+12Actually it's kind of complicated... just check it out on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_flag
- Syric, on 02/19/2008, -0/+12Well that was kind of the "real" cross. They were doing it for Christianity. Hitler's use of the swastika is arguably more of a bastardization of the "real" swastika.
- darklights, on 02/18/2008, -2/+12Inspiring to: 10% of all Englishmen who still think they are great because their country owned the 1/2 the world > 100 years ago (you are an embarraasment to the rest of us)
Not inspiring to: 1/2 the world who's countries were owned by the English. And the rest of the world, who couldnt give a *****. - daEvan, on 02/19/2008, -1/+10I forgot Poland.
- borez, on 02/18/2008, -13/+21The British flag within the Bermuda flag is called the Union Flag. It is not the Union Jack.
It's only called the Union Jack when it's flying ( as a jack ) from a ship..

That statement is so insanely cruel, mean, and hilirious at the same time.... - pinguwin, on 02/18/2008, -2/+10As one from the U.S. I hate to say this :-), but I think the Canadian flag is the best looking flag I've seen.
- arzim, on 02/18/2008, -2/+10"I hope your cool flags keep you warm in your snow covered countries."
Hah. Is this satire? - satanswetnipple, on 02/19/2008, -0/+8There have been many swastikas throughout history, and from many regions including parts of Europe. There have been clockwise, anticlockwise, square, diamond and circular.
- Linake, on 02/19/2008, -0/+8I was thinking the same thing! There had better be significance behind that, or else I'll have to assume they're trying to assassinate my eyeballs.
- sasathi, on 02/19/2008, -1/+8While we are at it...Why not Japan? : http://www.timwerx.net/culture/japan/flag.gif
- Swanny614, on 02/19/2008, -0/+7Well, it, had pictures didn't it? So the point is kind of moot.
- tuce63, on 02/18/2008, -5/+12I think small towns in the US should all have their own flags like Drnis
- Meowbiusfox, on 02/18/2008, -7/+13Dugg for "Jizzbollah"
- Niubai, on 02/18/2008, -1/+7Probably you're being dugged down because of the wrong link. Los Angeles flag is ugly as hell with sure:
