This Guy Shouldn't Travel To Brazil...
Apparently, somebody has taken it upon themselves to give a letter grade to the flags of the world, based on the principles of design. I was shocked to find out that the Brazilian flag was given a D- (35 out of 100), the "worst grade of any independent nation-state".
Here is his entire list. It is actually very funny. He just might want to re-evaluate any travel plans to certain countries within the near future.
By the way, I happen to find the Brazilian flag very beautiful. Someday I will blog about all the symbolism found therein.

I liked the ones that induced vomiting. Actually I liked the fact that he actually made an icon for inducing vomiting (although I would have to give it a poor grade for poor colors).
Go South Africa! Top 5!!

B- for Ukraine. Okay grade, I guess. But his comment was "Bad colors." Huh? The blue of the sky and the yellow of the golden fields of sunflowers?

DUDE - he gave Gambia a 90/100, it's 4 colors, red, blue, green with some white trim -- his comments - Good colors??? - come on, first off the colors look odd together, and it's a very plain flag, very weird...
...last time I checked flags were suppose to have symbolism.
