Title: 2Chan redesigns the Union Jack
Post by: superluser on December 12, 2007, 08:55:31 PM
A Labour MP from Wales suggested that the flag of the United Kingdom be redesigned to feature the Welsh dragon, so The Telegraph ran a contest (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/12/11/nflag111.xml).

(http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t102/superluser/flag18.gif)

2Chan offered to help. (If anyone can find a link, I'd love it)

I eagerly await the 4Chan version, which will (of course) be the goatse hands stretching out the St. Patrick's Cross.

It looks like the thread it all started on is long gone(not surprising. 2chan moves pretty fast). Right now this is all I can find:
http://zip.2chan.net/6/res/1137710.htm
Apparently one of 2chan's entries got second place, or something.

2chan came before 4chan. 4chan was based off of 2chan.
There's also 7chan, 12chan, 420chan, Fchan, Fapchan, among many others.
Terms like "sage"(Japanese for "to lower") originated from 2chan. It's also the largest internet forum in the world.

NOT LIKE I GO TO ANY OF THESE BOARDS OR ANYTHING.

Nice one.  I'm not actually Welsh but I do think that having a dragon in the Welsh flag is pretty hardcore.  Anyway, I'm going to have to forward this around the office, I think - too bad I forgot about this earlier today :P

I so wanted those idiots to take a little walk down Liberty Ave., or maybe a stroll through the Hill District.

Tell me now, 'nigra', does sucking on the business end of a loaded 9mm still give you the lulz?

Heh. I think it was funnier to have them in the pics from AC, all two or four of them or whatever, in the rain.

That and the pics of them with the fursuiters, and being provided AC umbrellas, etc...

Feh!  Shows how much Zina knows!  'Sage', or Salvia officinalis, is a culinary herb native to the Mediterranean region!

It's one of the major Italian cooking herbs! 

Eat it, Japan!   :mwaha

This reminds me of the trijack.

Let me explain.

N. Ireland - all those bombs and shootings and kneecappings and whatnot? Yeah, well. I was born there and grew up there, left after University. Now, being very, very Irish, I went to a very, very Irish school and the very, very Irish school used to get antagonised by the local British school.

So our solution? We recoloured the union jack in green, white and orange and plastered it everywhere we could. Then we got into a big fight with the bastards.

Good times, good times.

Speaking of which, my brother is particularly fond of Lagavulin, which I've just realised is Isle of Islay, not Isle of Man.

Oh, well.

You spelt it wrong, for starters. If it's brewed in Scotland, it's whisky, it in Ireland, it's whiskey.

Never. Unexpected nationalistic animosity is the lifeblood of something or other.
