An elementary course in general knowledge ....

These days the Czech prime minister is visiting Islamabad ... or at least he was the last time i checked i.e. the 11th ... and as is the wont of our government PR machine ... the city was adorned with the standard-issue banners with the two flags and 'friendship slogans' on them ... HOWEVER ... somebody really forgot to use their brains this time ... the result? A hilarious yet embarassing diplomatic incident. Read more from the blog that initially reported it:

from the horses mouth

P.S.: I wonder what an average Czech would come up with if asked to imagine the 'Pakistani' flag!?. Open to suggestions / opinions / brainwaves :)
