Trying to compare that indisputable fact to the "9/11 conspiracy" is super stupid.

In today's news: "Obama outraged over small and uncivilized african country's political party's choice of campaign logo...Copyright battle ensues"

I mean, come on, give the DA a break!

Unless, of course, Obama is one of the 99.99% of Americans who are sue-happy.

I read recently that Kenya is having an uptick in tourism as a result of Obama's election. Obama most certainly is popular there. Fair enough.

But, I don't think symbols should be expropriated. And, this is darn close to it. If this was used in the US, the Obama Campaign would have a case of copyright infringement. Granted, it's a tribute to Obama. But, the person who created the symbol for Obama's campaign wouldn't be pleased and this SA symbol would possibly be ripe for distortion. Or, even worse like the swastika (a 4000 year old Hindu symbol expropriated by the Nazis) eventually and gravely tainted.
