YES. OH MY LORD, YES. I doubt it will happen...but, wow. I would be jealous. :'D

There are comments on the bottom, and people keep inserting Gurren Lagann quotes, where half of the people don't even understand them. Let's all have a good laugh. :lol:

Ummm... the only problem with the number two design is that the Anime character seated on the dragon is... Belgian. Or rather, from the alternative reality Belgium of "Zero no Tsukaima". But she looks darned good up there...

Who would be a better choice, though? Let's see... Negi Springfield is Welsh, isn't he?

Actually, I think someone pulled a sneaky on them, with reference to that. One of the flags supposedly shows "leeks", a common Welsh ingredient, but those look a lot more like Japanese spring onions to me. (I do a lot of cooking, and a local store carries the Japanese onions. They're fantastic in soup!)

Guess what the Japanese word for "spring onion" is? Yep... it's "Negi".

...And yet, I think the one with St. George slaying the Welsh dragon is the funniest. You want your dragon on the flag? Okay.........
