Request at work: "Make an icon for a protestor"
I just heard someone ask one of my fellow designers here at work for an icon for a protestor for some tracking software my company has created. Evidently, its for something involving the G8 thingie going down. Some high level military type person said there's a whole lot of protestors down there, and wants to include this icon in the software.

I don't know anything beyond that.

If someone asked YOU to make such an icon, what would YOU say??

2. Do you want me to also include ...
.. an icon of those who trace people exercising their Freedom of Speech guaranteed by the US Constitution?

8. Man I might consider purposefully sabotaging it so that it would crash the
system.

Liek a Jew working in a Nazi Munitions Factory, metaphorically speaking.

I want to make it clear that I would NOT sabotage military equipment, things are not that bad...yet (but hopefully would never become so), but would I sabotage the Bushevik SS and SA if I had the chance?

Like a Jew working in a Nazi Munitions Factory, baby. Like a jew working in a Nazi Munitions Factory.

12. bingo!
I also want to make it clear that I would not sabotage any system.... YET.

But I also think that if Bush get's re-elected, there's a VERY good chance that protestors and others will get tracked on a regular basis.
