That flag there is a symbol and a story, not a marketing device used by the worst band that isn't Nickelback. The fact "1D" uses the Union Flag in this way is outrageous, they have no respect for those who died to protect it. At least the Beatles (who were another British band) had enough respect not to use our flag as a gimmick. In short to all the US girls who like 1D, don't smother the glorious Union Flag with 1D labels, it's disrespectful and ignorant.
