To the Editor:

Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow Americans, today we’re diving into the cutting-edge world of vexillology with Long Beach Island’s newest flag. Oh, what a sight to behold! It’s as if the Island itself decided to take a vacation from good taste.

Picture this: a rectangle of fabric, boldly divided into strips and triangles. We have vibrant blues, presumably representing the vast ocean or perhaps the collective tears of graphic designers everywhere.
