Great United Kingdom Brigade?
December 12, 2007 at 12:37 am | Posted in Anime, Japan, News, Otaku, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann | 3 CommentsRemember a while ago when a United Kingdom Labour MP suggested that the Union flag be redesigned to incorporate the Welsh dragon? The Daily Telegraph ran a poll seeking design ideas and guess what had the highest amount of votes?
Second place?
The designer for the winning entry(4channer no doubt) is a Norwegian who said that he intended the flag to represent the union of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in a modern, cool light and that the dragon itself(I think he meant the flaming red skull, but I guess he’s not telling them that…) was inspired by a Japanese anime television series.
“It represents shouting “UNION!” and joining together; kicking reason to the curb and doing the impossible; fighting the power, and piercing the heavens,” he said
And what impact does he think the new flag would have on foreigners like himself?
“That the UK is awesome. I just hope they don’t think it’s a pirate flag.” <— LawL
Moar.
