I'd be a little worried those electroshock badges are just a smidge too close to the symbol for the SS.
you should definitely mention that to the sq staff. I didn't actually come up with the badge design - just the idea.
Thanks man... they're taking care of redesigning the badge as we speak... now with less offensiveness!
I think that's the first time I've seen a blog comment actually translate into tangible change! congrats!
