I think this facebook flair is trying to say that the UK is #1, but, ironically, the bad punctuation kind of makes the statement more true.
Sorry, British friends! You know I love you! Hey, now that Amy Winehouse is reportedly divorcing Blake Fielder-Civil, perhaps the British Empire can rise again. Pirates seem to be making a comeback.
Thanks to my friend Jodi for sending this apostrophe catastrophe my way. Cheers, luv!
Update: People in the comment section have informed me that this is an intentional apostrophe catastrophe. Sorry!

Maybe, they meant to say "We were #1."
No apostrophe necessary.
Facebook applications are an absolute treasure trove for bad punctuation seekers.
yeah it's a joke.. the website that makes the t-shirt version of this pin prints all of the emails "correcting" the joke :P
Yeah, ummm this is from SnorgTees or one of those and was stolen by someone on Facebook. It's intent IS to make fun of the UK!
Now what are they?
