Edward Sebesta has created this vexillogical masterpiece, lauding it as the "Anti-Confederate Flag".
He says, in his blog post introducing this flag, "...the flag should have an appealing design so that people want to wear it because it has an appealing design."
1) I'm sorry to disappoint you, Ed, but this flag isn't appealing.
2) Why would you design a flag to be worn? Aren't you supposed to "fly" a flag? After the design is appreciated on the pole and accepted, people make t-shirts and hats and license plates, not the other way around. Maybe you should've made it a logo design?
3) This cannot easily be interpreted as being anti-Confederate. Perhaps you should just fly the Confederate flag upside-down?
Never mind, I don't think anyone would notice then, either.
The stars would be pointing downward, but I think people would be led to assume you were a Confederate occultist; defeats the purpose, eh?
I think that would make a good cake decorating design. Sorta patriotic, yet not making anyone feel like they're eating a piece of the American flag, perish the thought. It's even in the shape of a sheetcake. I think I'd feel the need to add blue stars in the leftover space beyond the last stripe. Should we try it? ºÜº
ReplyDeleteI don't know, it might make me seasick, what with all the waves. And the putrid, UN blue.

ReplyDelete"...the flag should have an appealing design so that people want to wear it because it has an appealing design." That's a logical fallacy called circular reasoning. An absolutely perfect example in fact!

Enjoy!
Now, those were funny!
ReplyDeleteThought you'd like that. I have read both "The Fallacy Detective", and "The Thinking Toolbox", in case you explored that website further. Well worth the time and money those books were, I might add!
