If one star is good, then 50 must be just right...

    National Flags. There is so much pride in them. They bear so much meaning. So much patriotism and symbolism. And, quite frequently, they suck design-wise. This is what “the flags of the world” is all about!

    The forthcoming text you are about to view have been known to cause offense to some people. If you are apt to be offended by sarcastic humor directed towards your national flag, I suggest you read no further.

    Josh Parsons, the creator of the abovementioned website, tells that one day, while looking over the atlas of the flags of the world he noticed that some flags look great, while others look just barely adequate, along with a couple of flags that just plain suck. As a result of these observations, he created a website on which he gave a high-school-like letter and numeric grade on the scale of 0 to 100 to each flag.

Kazakhstan Can colors be any more hideous than that? And what the hell is that thing under the sun? The design would be a best fit for a napkin.	South Korea Good color combo and original design. For some reason I think this would work best as a T-shirt logo, not a national flag though.

    All flags were evaluated based on their aesthetic value. Mr. Parsons has formulated three main rules that cannot be violated by the flag design. First, no writing, especially in a living language, should be present on the flag. Second, a country’s map should not be present on the flag – if the visitor needs to know where he is, the flag would be the last place she would look at for a map. Third, do not use tri-color because it is already overused all over Europe.

Virgin Islands Need a flag? Hire a colorblind artist and you're set. Looks like this flag has been designed in Microsoft Paint.	Saudi Arabia What the fuck? I feel that those scribbles on top mean something unpleasant.

    The rating of each flag is accompanied by several special code-pictures which point out most prominent errors or brightest features of the flag. “Bad colors”, “plagiarism”, “simple”, “too many stars”, “looks like a corporate logo” are several of picture-codes used by the author. For some reason reading all that is insanely amusing.

Northern Mariana Islands Microsoft Office clipart to the rescue?	Mozambique Automatic Rifle on the flag. Obviously they just aren't interested in the tourist dollars that you can get from not advertising the fact that you like to hack off the limbs of foreigners before shooting them and turning them into soap. Still, it's their loss.
