It's nice that you found a cause to support, but I removed your sig and avatar because they were inappropriate for this forum. Which leads me to my opinion on the "campaign" - I like the Mooninites and all, but it was tacky to place images of a character flipping the bird all over the place for everyone and their child to have to look at. Yes, I know there are "worse" things out there, but I don't support those either, not when they're in public areas. It's like when I worked at a major theme park in southern California, we'd get people who would wear a plain t-shirt when entering the park then go to a restroom and switch to one with vulgar language on it, or images of characters having sex, because it gave them a thrill to break the rules. Meanwhile families had their vacations (which they had planned and worked for for possibly a long time) dampened. I'm just saying, inappropriate imagery is best kept to areas only frequented by people who care to see it.

However, that particular image wasn't really all *that* bad (I noticed no one really cared about that anyways), and the whole bomb thing I find silly. I don't think people should have raised such a stink over that. A slap on the wrist, I guess I can see. And I can support the guys treating the situation as they have if that's what they want to do.
