OK -- this is why successful firms have marketing departments that are not staffed by idiots. " Form and dysfunction... I'm trying to envision using the thing, and I'm failing. Granted housekeeping is not something I do; hell, I mainly sit around in a kilt, sharpening Hobbitslicer and quaffing goblets of blood...So, perhaps I'm not really the guy to ask. But still...
“We’re not trying to be nasty or arrogant,” said Mr. Stallard, who characterizes himself and Mr. Fredrikson as “nonreligious.” “We’re saying, ‘Here is a symbol with a story. Read into it whatever you want.’ ”
The brushes were inspired by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “There was all this religious hysteria at the time,” Mr. Stallard said. In response, he and Mr. Fredrikson planned a series of seven to nine brushes, shaped like the world’s best-known symbols of faith, including the Islamic crescent and Judaism’s Star of David. But the designers ultimately decided to make only the cross, in part because of its simplicity, but also because it seemed like the symbol least likely to cause an uproar." Right...now, if they throw on some Rhinestones, maybe they can sell it through the Jerry Falwell/Liberty University Bookstore.
Hold on a second while I scrub my eyeballs out with that thing...
