Belgium

The timing of this post just so happened to coincide with the tragic news of bombings at the Brussels airport and metro station. Sending much love to the Belgian people.

Country: Belgium

What’s Going On? It’s a tricolor. But it’s more square-y so that’s interesting…right?

Sure, But What’s Really Going On? Apparently the vertical design is based on the French flag, so if you’re looking for someone to blame for another boring vertical tricolor, you found le bouc émissaire. The colors come from the duchy of Brabant’s coat of arms, which features a yellow lion with a red tongue and claws against a black background.

What’s Good About It? Well, it’s got to look better than a yellow lion with a red tongue and claws against a black background.

Nice toenail polish.

What’s Bad About It? Nothing really,except for all the people that will think, “That German flag is hung weird.”

What Does Our Dumb World Say About It? “The flag of Belgium can be broken off and shared with two other friends.”

Score: 2.9

What’s the difference between a French kiss and a Belgian kiss? A Belgian kiss is like a French kiss, but with more Flem. Zing!
