More on Denmark

Irish Eagle's pondering on vexillology:

Watching last night's news report of the protests against Denmark in some Middle Eastern country, I couldn't help wondering where they got the Danish flags? Do these countries have large warehouses full of flags for just such an emergency? Or maybe they have teams of seamstresses whose primary function is to produce flags of offending countries when necessary?


Edited to add:
The above post has also been quoted by Internet Commentator, and it is worth quoting from the comments section there, as J. Cassian says
As someone who dabbled in a bit of amateur pyromania as a teenager, I've got to say I really admire Middle Eastern flag-burning skills. It takes consummate professionalism to wave around a flaming banner like that without setting light to your own billowing robes. They may not be leading the world in any other scientific field, but as far as the thermodynamics of vexillogy goes, no one can touch them. Respect due.
