Flags and symbols, it's staggering the number of people that will proudly display something like this with absolutely no idea of what it represents. It's because they become pop-culture icons. Like the skull and cross-bones which used to represent piracy. Now most people do know that at least, but it's emblazoned on anything just in the name of fashion.

Our culture perverts the meaning of symbols and flags all the time. The confederate flag seems to now mean "I love my truck and I love my cousin". The St. George Cross just seems to represent the English football team. The monograph of Che Guevara seems to mean "hey I'm wearing a cool t-shirt". And then there's one of the greatest perversions of a symbol ever, the Nazi's use of the Swastika!
