Unrelated to the article, but a creative Canadian flag used the title to spell words out. They slowly circled characters in the title. I thought I was deciphering a cool message… but it was just "whore"

The internet in its purest form. I grepped for all words containing the substring whore in the hopes of coming up with some witty explanation and shame you in assuming the worst from our Canadian bretheren. To my great chagrin they all refer to, well, whores.

I might be missing something here, but how does the Canadian flag relate to the article and how does it circle characters in the title?

I'm surprised how many different flags I saw while reading- I guess mostly from HN? Diverse crowd!
