I take that as a "No." Think nothing of it, here it is.

Has a vaguely German look to it, no? The red and black stripes, the eagle. From memory (this afternoon, not long term), green for the color of the land (yawn), red, blood shed pursuing the happiness of independence (snore), black for the color of our skins (gag me with a spatula)--Those colors get those responses because virtually every goddamned shit hole country in Africa has the same three colors for the same goddamned reasons. It's like they go to the store to buy flag material; they can have any color they want but they must have green, red, and black.

Okay, but what makes Zambia's flag distinctive is that bar code, the orange vertical stripe, and the orange bird above, preparing to land (but looking away (?)), crap, or bomb the bar code. From memory, that's some African eagle and the orange is the color of, or some reference to, the soil, like the red clay of Georgia and the orange dirt of Zambia, something like that.

If they hadn't had to buy the red and the black fabric they could have done away with that goddamned bar code altogether, enlarged and centered the orange eagle in the green field, and that would have been a helluva flag. Beautiful flag. BUT NOOOOO!!!!! 

I don't know what the reason is for the eagle not paying attention but...You know, I think it would still work, it could be "on guard," on the lookout for evil sorcerers...No, that wouldn't work. The eagle clearly has its landing gear down and its wings up; and it isn't looking where it's landing. You'd have to tuck its legs up or have it look down...But then it would really look like it was crapping. Tuck its fucking legs up and put its wings in cruising position, then it would look like it was flying protectively and looking around en garde. But that is close to being a good flag and with Africa close to good in anything is an improvement.
