This time it's not me griping about flags, it's a gentleman with the incredibly badass name Roman Mars. The scarlet-faced avenger gave a TED talk about flag design, highlighting some of America's best and worst city flags.
He properly cited Chicago's flag as one of the best, and derided New York City's as lackluster. He missed New Orleans's excellent flag, but that might simply be provincial ignorance. It's interesting to see that at least two of the towns he cited for bad designs actually came up with better ones shortly after his talk.
However, the war god did make one inexcusable error: in a talk about awful city flags he somehow neglected to mention the gynecological hilarity of Toronto's city flag. Behold, and snicker.
