Beyonce "Party" featuring J. Cole - American Flag Shorts

Close up of US Flag Shorts

Beyonce pairs up with J.Cole in the official video for the song Party. In it we are privy to an idealized party life at the mature trailer park.

Of vexillological interest is a girl wearing the American Flag as pair of shorts. Her patriotic apparel sends a strong signal of her intentions to let freedom ring.

The behavior exhibited at this trailer park may seem odd, but on college campuses and universities all across the United States, students seem intent on living at least in small doses - the 'fun' aspects of Trailer Park culture exhibited in this video.

David Guetta - Without You - featuring Usher

Brazil is one of the featured flags in the video. It is held up by one of the audience members on a beach.

The good vibes from the music and call of love end up causing a seismic shift in the earth's crust. The music literally brings the world together.

Flags! Flags! Dance with those FLAGS

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Flags and vexillology

PE Teacher with school patch
Home of the Westmore Middle School Hornets

Diary of Wimpy Kid was written Jeff Kinney. This is an immensely popular children's book series that nearly every American Kid has come into contact with. It's kind of like Dilbert in Middle-Elementary School? Part confessional, part chicken soup, and part humor. 9 out of 10 kids agree it's good and can relate to the social challenges presented by Mr. Kinney.

Running with the flag during a game of Gladiator

Wimpy Kid concerns itself with that magical period just before young adulthood - those twisted teenage years. The joy of childhood reaches its peak just before puberty. Biologically teens are adults but mentally - they need a lot more cooking in today's modern society.

Here the younger boys are dominated by the older kids during a game of Gladiator.



Halloween Costume with Safety Pennant Flag

Although the flag may seem out of place, knights from the middle ages often carried lance pennons. The flag stick is not safety device but lance pennon. In either case they serve to protect and identify the person carrying it!





Animated Version of Halloween Adventures
It's not a safety flag - it's a lance pennon!

Back to the Future Flags - Part XI, other non traditional US flags

Calvary Guidon in Back to the Future III - 1885

In Back to the Future III, Marty travels back to 1885 in order to save Dr. Emmit Brown from his tragic end. Upon returning Marty happens to jump back in the middle of a US Calvary and Native American Chase. The US soldiers carry a specific type of military swallow tailed flag - known as a guidon - that originates from a heraldic battle standard.

Back to the Future II - 2015

In Back to the Future II - Marty travels into the future to save his son from making a big mistake in Cafe 80s. There is a US flag sticker or print on the the wall that you can barely see. It is behind the television, but you can see the US flag in the holes of the auto-television servers. The pop star on the television is supposed to be Michael Jackson.

Pink! - Alecia Beth Moore

In this alternate 2015 Hill Valley where George McFly is a science fiction writer, the world has changed and robotic tele-servers were created in the mid 1990s as well as hover technology. We exist in the Hill Valley were George McFly never became a science fiction writer and subsequently never inspired others.

Also in this alternate 2015 future our musical pop star artist 'PINK!' does not pursue a musical career. Instead she moves out to California in Hill Valley to become a famous movie star in 2017. The weird thing is that pop star Pink! is sitting at the counter looking at another classical American pop star - MJ - who is also still alive in this alternate happy technology inspired future by George McFly.

Nancy Reagan with an American Flag Dress

Cafe 80s - 2015

Also in Cafe 80s there is a cut out of Ronald and Nancy Reagan dancing on the wall. Mrs. Reagan is wearing a dress made out of an American Flag. This is so appropriate since the 80s were Reagan's decade. He was elected in 1980 and was in office until 1989. Because of medical advances inspired by George McFly and stem cell research - Ronnie and Nancy are alive and well in this alternate happy techno future. In this timeline Ron and Nancy can still do the Fox Trot - Ronnie is 104 and Nancy is 94.

You don't see too many flat screen TV is Back to the Future II because it's Cafe 80s and they wanted give it a real 80s feel. Besides in this alternate 2015, society tends to recycle TVs instead of throwing them away.

Two and a Half Men - Alan's Welcome Home Nightmare Banner

Welcome Home Banner

In the immensely popular television series Two and a Half Men the character Alan Harper is a loveable neurotic off beat dad whose own worst enemy is himself. In one episode the stress of life even permeates his dreamworld.

In his dream-nightmare sequence Alan is forced to live in his storage unit. Hanging in the entrance way is a welcome banner. It reads 'WELCOME HOME ALAN.' The colours are green, yellow, and orange.

Back to the Future Flags - Part X, The California State Flag

Back to the Future III - 1990
California Flag Flying Alone

In the Back to the Future trilogy the California State flag makes an appearance in all three movies. In Part 3 the modern version of the California State flag can been seen outside of the bar when Buford Mad Dog Tannen calls out 'Clint Eastwood' for a gun fight. The flag is flying in the upper right corner.

The appearace of a modern California State flag in 1885 is highly unlikely but not impossible, since the modern flag was adopted in 1911. It's interesting to note that the flag with the original Bear Flag is also flying in the movie.

Back to the Future II - 1989
California Flag is never alone

In Part 2 the California Flag never appears alone but always side by side with the US flag. You can see a mini California flag on Principal Skinners desk in between the US flag and school trophy.


Back to the Future 1985
California Flag Alone in Hill Valley

By far the best shot of the California State flag flying alone in Hill Valley. You can see the white shoes and skate board of Marty McFly under the tree branches on the left. The California State flag is barley visible. It is flying from a pole on Bank of America above the Hill Valley welcome sign.
