And for those of us with good taste?

Play her Hello Kitty song vocals over a thrash metal track?

You need a dose of Debustrol to cure your neuropathology issues.

For a moment there, I genuinely thought this was going to be the name of some random anti-psychotic drug.

But no. It's some band.

TIL...

 

[Takhisis]

Hehehehe. That's the whole point of telling it like that.

*btw Neuropatolog is actually one of their albums.

All I know about Avril's singing was that her first big hit there was so utterly fracking annoying that I never gave her another chance.

I have never willingly listened to her noise. But there was a time when commercials for her albums were all over the TV, and there were a couple of guinea pig trips I took to Edmonton with someone, and they had the radio on... playing Avril Lavigne many more times than I would ever have wanted to hear.

Unfortunately, it's one of the things that once heard, can never be un-heard.

I believe its called a "Nordic Cross" or "Scandinavian Cross"

so yes... to your point... obvious heathen, pagan, Satanism

 

[Snerk]

Nah that's just a faded Norwegian flag.

 

[Takhisis]

Says the man whose flag looks like the eye-watering product of splattering a red-and-white spider onto a blue tablecloth.

 

[Arakhor]

Hey, at least if you get cross at our flag, you end up looking saltyre.

 

[Traitorfish]

What unholy travesty of nature is that?!

A flag that actually follows the rule of tincture.

Heraldry hasn't been observed in flags in yonks!

If we're going to accept actually-existing flags as an acceptable guideline for how flags should look, we'd be better off just abandoning the whole project and going back to animal totems on spikes.

Mongolia should one-up Nepal in awkwardness and changes its official flag back to a horsetail banner.
