Flags and Vexilloids in Debbie Gibson's - Out of the Blue 1987

 

Out of the Blue is an album that is totally insulated from the 1970s and far enough from the 1990s.  It is a classic epitome 1980s culture in a time box. 

Sometimes things come at you from Out of the Blue, which is like a random old friend or a realization that your perception of some one can change on in a split second from stale friendship to admiration or deep love.  In this song Debbie Gibson points this feeling out to her fellow generational cohorts in honest 80s pop cadence.

Debbie notices these feeling while reminiscing through a photo album.  Other vexilloids like times are the classic fringed birthday banners and streamers hanging from the ceiling.

Peru Flag in the Celestine Prophecy - 2006

The flag of Peru naturally appears in the movie the Celestine Prophecy 2006.  If you are not familiar with the flag of Peru, you might be more familiar with its "Fraternal Flag Partner" - Canada.

Evidence of non-subjective Syychronicity

The Celestine Prophecy highlights nine points to increase spiritual development.  Basically it expounds that synchronicity is the hallmark of spiritual guidance, as a call to a higher path of the spirit.  Part action-adventure and part-self help, it is definitely worth a read.

US flag in the Celestine Prophecy - 2006

US flag makes a small appearance in the Celestine Prophecy film from 2006.  Just the field of red and white stripes can be seen.  Coincidentally this history teacher will be traveling to a nation whose colours are red and white - Peru.  Although a small coincidence, it just happens to end up that way.

If you are interested in exploring synchronicity or seeking a spiritual experience, this movie and book can help, a self help book that takes you on an adventure.  Before the Secret there was the Celestine Prophecy from 1993, it articulated nine steps to help one increase a spiritual understanding. If you enjoyed the movie the you should definitely read the book! 

This movie could get a reboot with J.J. Abrams as the director.  If somebody like Abrams does it, no doubt the essential points of James Redfield will make more sense to people who really need to hear his message.

Flags in the film Fed Up - 2014

 Fed Up 2014, hosted by Katie Couric, is a docu-drama that exposes the health epidemic across the world and the US.  It explains how a high sugar-low fiber diet can cause obesity even if one eats little and gets a lot of exercise.

Of importance to the blog are the digitally imposed flags that appear during the information segments.


Flags are used in double manner, sometimes flags appear on food.  The most popular being 4th of July US flags during the 4th of July.  But in Fed Up they represent the different factions that are competing within the government.

The US government tries to help the entire community at large and often finds itself at odds with its policies having to take sides.  Certainly it's a twisted pickle to be in.  In this case the FDA has to come to terms of either supporting public health or agriculture.  Usually the side that pulls a lot of water can tip the balance in their favor.

But this health issue involves everyone, from kids, the government and corporations.  Certainly it's a challenge if not impossible to control market forces, it'd be rather foolish.  But then again, small steps were able to put muzzle on the tobacco industry. 

Spratly Island Latitude-Longitude Span Flag

The Geographic Latitude-Longitude flag is a type of geographic flag that spans an area.  In this case the colours represent numbers and their positions on the flag represent certain latitudes and longitudes.  The canton is made up of stars that represent longitude.  The field represents latitude and is represent by horizontal stripes.

From 07 to 11 Degrees North we have the colours white-purple to represent 07 and red-red to represent red for the span of latitude.

In the canton, stars represent longitude.  In this case three red stars represent the western end of the Spratly Island from 111 Degrees East.  The bottom line of stars represents the latitude of 114 Degrees West: red-red-green.

The Geographic Latitude-Longitude Flag is a neutral scientific-flag based upon the lines of latitude and longitude for a specific area.  In this case it can be used to represent the Spratly Islands since national dominion is hotly debated between several nations. 

Reuben US Sandwich Flag

 On April 20, 2015 the US Reuben Sandwich flag was released unto the public.  It was during Breaking News Segment when a man made a sandwich that it was revealed.

The US Ruben sandwich is strikingly similar to the US flag the major difference being a canton featuring a Ruben sandwich, instead of a star field.
