I'm just wondering if we could have a second version of the US Flag:



...you know, upside-down.

I second this motion, even though I know it will never happen...

It's worth a try, shouldn't be too hard to do and as long as it's not begged for.

Hopefully posters would get the symbolism and not take it the wrong way, but if they do, that's their problem.

But you see, then people would be asking for upside down other flags, and bleh, the admins would have to reverse all those flags...

Easily resolved; an upside-down American Flag actually means something (distress signal) hence the symbolism, doing the same to other flags wouldn't have the same effect, whether or not it doesn't mean the same thing in that country, or you wouldn't notice if it was upside-down because of the design (Japan and UK).
