I know they didn't add it willingly, that's the joke. 03:15 Wales was left off the Union Jack because it was part of England during the great flag-making-day in 1801 03:28 The Kingdom of Benin also has a sick flag, but its origins are largely unknown 03:54 The mark of the beast must keep getting updated. Back in my day it was 665 04:27 I'm a complete bellend and lazily neglected anything Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish. 05:47 Lots of listicle sites just changed the name of this logo for a simpler joke I guess. Their viewers must hate subtitles... I've seen it as both "China Restaurant" and "Sushi Sunrise." 06:09 This is my most significant digital restoration project.
