This is a funny one!

If you would like an authentic USA flag with the correct number of stars or any other USA Collectors flag, please visit www.worldflagshop.com.

One Texas man couldn’t believe what he saw on the American flag he purchased at a Dollar Tree store in Dallas: 11 extra stars emblazoned on Old Glory (courtesy of foxnews.com).

“You can kind of see the stars are all crooked, and if you count them, they’re actually 61 stars,” Tim Childress told WFAA.com.

Childress said he went back to the store where he bought the flag and sent an e-mail message to the marketing company in Virginia that made it hoping they might address the error.

“I kind of let them know that there are 50 states in the United States, and they need to correct this — or at least get the Chinese supplier to correct this,” Childress told the website.

The Dollar Tree’s assistant store manager told WFAA.com that the flag is sold as a “patriotic banner” and not as an American flag.

Target Brands, Inc. we bet is the same colour in the face as their red logo today. Target has been forced to recall thousands of shirts featuring the former flag of Spain accidentally (courtesy of post chronicle.com).

For many the flag reminds them of the widely hated former dictator of Spain, General Francisco Franco. On the red shirt shows in big gold letters that says “Spain”. Underneath the shirt it has the flag of Spain that has not been flown since the 1970s when Franco ruled.

Target Spokesperson said, “We certainly apologize for any discomfort or offense this shirt may have caused.”

Target will give full refunds to anyone who bought the shirt. This must be very embarrassing for Target Brands, Inc. Especially since this shirt will likely make an excellent collection piece for those who want to sell it on eBay.

Was this a mistake by Target, or was it just sheer ignorance?  Hmmm, I’ll leave that one up to all of you.

So if you want to fly the Spanish flag whether it be Spain Federal or Spain with Crest and the correct ones at that, then please do so at www.worldflagshop.com

David Cameron has said he will fly the flag of St George over No 10 during the football World Cup in South Africa (courtesty of bbc.co.uk).

The prime minister told MPs that the move would not cost anything and he hoped would help unite the nation behind the English team.

No matter what part of the UK people came from, he said he hoped they would be shouting “come on England”.

Mr Cameron wished the team and manager well, ahead of their first match in South Africa.

As prime minister of the United Kingdom, the Union Flag is normally flown above their Downing Street residence.

But at his second weekly session of prime minister’s questions, Mr Cameron was asked by Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi whether he would hoist the English flag instead during the tournament, for which none of the other home nations qualified.

“There was some question that this was going to have a cost impact but I have managed to cut through that and I can say, at no additional cost to the taxpayer, the flag of St George will fly above Downing Street during the World Cup,” the prime minister replied.

“For the purposes of this, I am looking at all the benches here and I am sure that everyone in this House, no matter what part of the United Kingdom they come from, will be cheering ‘come on England’”.

England play their first group match against the United States on Saturday 12 June.

Mr Cameron did not say whether the flag would remain aloft for the entire competition or whether it would come down should England be eliminated before the final on Sunday 11 July.
