There's nothing more frustrating than getting what you were screaming for then finding out you didn't want it, isn't there? Your welcome to use the Pokemon sex-toy logo all you want. Me, I've enjoyed the comments on slashdot, and I have no intention of using that red balloon sex toy logo on anything I make up for FreeBSD. This is exactly what happens when people try to mix religion into things that belong in the secular realm. Beastie is not the antichrist and the morons that do not understand that, the FreeBSD Project is better off without. Take note - this is only a logo so it's minor importance, - but this is perfectly representative of the garbage that results when you bow down before conservative fanatics that see devils in everything. I hope you personally have learned something from this. Unfortunately for the U.S., the politicians in power right now need to learn the same lesson, and they won't - until the same kind of garbage results from what they are doing, only it will be infinitely more disastrous.
