Curry's Green Whit and Orange Union Jack !

LittleLebowski · 2009-12-02 12:03:35

Did anyone see the VAT advertisement for Curry's. It a green white and orange union jack in the papers and on billboards. I dont know how anybody thought this would be a good marketing ploy. I for one think its offensive to the republic and at least poor taste.

I hate this thread. I just lost 5 minutes of my life that could have been spent **** or burning a union jack or both.

Am U2 did this at the brits last year. Had a union jack on the screen behind them and it changed to green White orange and then turned into the tricolour! Currys are only copying!

as you may or most likely may not be aware the flag that utilises the design of what makes up the union flag but instead sports the irish colours has been used as a symbol of identity for the irish in britain for decades and is not anything new

if it wasnt for the irish in britain it would still be a heap of rubble:P:P

The *wolfe tones have been selling the tshirt at gigs for years. TBH i see it more as offensive to the british.

* I wouldnt be seen dead at a wolfetones gig, fukn banjo plucking rabble rousers
