    You are mistaking rotating for flipping. If you flip the image top to bottom, you get distress. If you rotate, then your keyboard is upside down and all you can type is gibberish.

    Many will now say that I've had my laptop upside down for all these years.

    this might sound odd ........but........... i know its illegal to burn or cut a stars and stripe flag ,so what happens when a tailor starts snipping away to make a waistcoat/vest
    in some aspect aren't they breaking the law (sorry for the random thought its just something that crossed my mind)

    It's actually not illegal to burn a flag, US, UK, Canadian. In fact this is the proper way to dispose of a worn and faded flag. Just do it with respect. None of these waistcoats are made from an actual flag only a semi-reasonable facsimile. That is probably why the Union Jack one is incorrect.

    ahh i just read up there its a federal law that isnt enforced ,i know none of these are real flags if they where i`d be very worried by whoever made them

    good cotton flags are hard to come by these days (well saltire`s anyway)
