We suspect that whoever is responsible for outsourcing this particular London Olympics commemorative keyring [1] to a Chinese manufacturer may shortly be dancing the Tyburn jig, once Her Maj Liz II gets wind of just what has happened to the Union Jack*:
Mercifully, this trio of "computer-generated Smurf [2]" Wenlock, Lisa Simpson administering oral pleasure and blue St George has apparently been removed from sale after the Reg reader who spotted the outrage protested vociferously to the Olympics e-outlet.
Let's face it, it's just a matter of time before the Daily Mail gets hold of this, and then Lord Coe will cop a righteous and well-deserved shoeing from the Twat-O-Tron [3] owners of Middle England. ®

*Yes, we know that the term "Union Jack" is properly applied only when the flag is flying from a ship, but we don't give a monkey's, so keep it to yourselves.
