Really Par? I always though it was counterclockwise... oh well... Percy hit link it can't be as bad as tub-girl...you'll thank us for it later...

I thought purple day was for April Fools.

by the way, Par,
why did you change it back from purple?

just asking, not complaining or anything...

well... obviously, regardless of the counter/clockwise-ness of it, and the non-/slant-y-ness of it,
people (in this case Vice particularly) thought it was a nazi swastika.
Sometimes people assess things at first glance
and don't realize whether they're the right way round or not...
just like we think (at first glance) that there's nothing wrong Tom Tucker's Son's face...
until we look for longer than a second or two.

Non!! I'm not clicking on that!


...no!

Uh... Al? The Jain swastika also faces clockwise. (Not like in the picture, but like the nazi one.)

Percy, here's a great link for you (I hope you get the joke.)

I was trolling this board and I have to put my two cents in. That swastika is the buddhist swastika and is no way a nazi symbol. The Nazi swastika is facing the other way, is black and is actually slanted at a 45 degree angle. The buddhist swastika or more appropriately the Jain swastika has been around far longer then the nazi swastika. People in asia would associate that swastika with buddhism. It is quiet obvious that the person taking that picture knew he would get a rise out of us westerners who normally associate swastikas with the nazis. But remember all skinheads and neo-nazis would even say that was not a nazi swastika. It would suprise you that they would be offended that people would call that a nazi swastika. Not like I'm a white supremist... I think it was good that the picture got us talking... Now back to trolling again...blorg... blorg

Squirrels are fucking brilliant.

I think the point is being missed. They KNOW it's not a swastika. They weren't ACTUALLY offended.
